NEC Express5800 R140a-4

With this new 4 way server, NEC brings forth a solution combining high availability and performance, to enterprises. These features perfectly respond to the needs of Datacenters; a key market for the development of high value-added solutions.

Server consolidation

Thanks to its performances level and Virtualisation capabilities (VMware, Xen), the NEC Express5800 R140a-4 is an optimised solution enabling the installation and operation of multiple applications across the same server.

Therefore this allows conservation of power/space, optimised hardware costs and reduced maintenance costs.

Scalable Performance

The NEC Express5800 R140a-4 supports exceptional performance gains enabled by the latest Six core Intel Xeon processor MP 7400 series which provides an outstanding server solution for databases and enterprise-class computing for Microsoft ®Windows, Linux® and VMware® environments.
NEC simplifies the IT environment and offers businesses solutions integrated with the latest generation of processors on the market. The NEC Express5800/R140a-4 supports up to 4 Intel® Xeon® MP 7400 six core processors which renders it more time efficient and electricity conserving. These six core processors were designed and optimized to increase space and the infrastructure’s power consumption. Thus, delivering 50 % more performance for 10% less power consumption compared to the previous generation.

Expandable Capacity and Bandwidth

Perfect for high performance in large database computations, the 4-processor Express5800/R140a-4 Server offers support for up to 24 cores per server and the increased processor cache available on the Xeon processor 7400 series gives the headroom and reliability that complex applications require. Large memory capacity up to 256GB combined with the ability to run simultaneous processes with more cores and multi-threading capabilities provides a solid foundation for server consolidation, virtualization and enterprise IT infrastructure. The 8 SAS hard disks with an internal capacity of up to 2.4TB and an internal backup media bay offered in the 4U storage rack unit which is usually offered as a tower server 7 PCI Express slots complete the range of expandability capabilities of the system.

Proven Dependability

The NEC Express5800 R140a-4 offers a robust Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS) through an enhanced server management suite provided by the new Server Engine Pilot 2 chipset and ‘Dianascope’ out of band remote control software. Features such as hot-swap SAS drives, redundant cooling and power and integrated RAID 6 ensure peace of mind in meeting the quality of service that your clients expect. Standard ESMPRO Management software allows; reporting of alerts, inventory and system status information during normal operations.

Factory Integration Service

The NEC Express5800 R140a-4 can be tailored with hardware and software configurations desired by partners and customers. It also can be cabled and racked with network systems, storage, others servers and UPS at NEC. With its Customer Integration services at NEC’s technological site in Angers (49 – France), NEC Computers designs, manufactures, delivers and supports custom-built architectures that correspond exactly to customer's requirements.

Optimized energy efficiency

Thanks to the new Intel ® Xeon ® 7400 series processors which display unprecedented performance for virtualisation, allows enterprises to maximize the return on their IT investments.

Thanks to the innovations which they integrate, they offer a performance reserve and a higher reliability, with a significant scalability for servers on a large scale.

Furthermore, they allow performance gains of up to 50 % compared to the former generation, while reducing the power consumption by10 %.

Control of energy consumption

The control of energy consumption is managed by a new feature supplied as standard on NEC 4 -way servers. This technology is a control module of the real-time power supply: "Power Control" which allows one to monitor and analyze the server power consumption, in order to optimize the TCO and improve the user’s environmental policy.

Simplified management

Take complete control of your server environment using ExpressScope Engine Pilot 2 management hardware and software tools that give you the confidence to deliver a reliable and stable IT infrastructure.

Management tools come as standard with NEC Express5800/R140a-4 and provide major functions such as; remote monitoring, remote control, alert and remote KVM & Media. It brings availability & operation efficiency and minimizes assistance and administration costs for a better TCO.

In order to manage your server group, NEC proposes “Dianascope”; an optional remote management program.
