CANTON, Mass., Feb. 3 /- NEI (NASDAQ:NENG), a leading provider of application platforms, appliances and services for storage, security and communications software developers, today announced the Network Equipment Building Systems' (NEBS) Level 3 certification of its AC-specified N-1500 R2 platform. The N-1500 R2 is uniquely designed to meet the demand for high reliability, long-life deployments in AC-powered environments and is the first such platform of its kind.
