• Embedded Power consumption Control Technology: new Technology provided in standard and allowing to supervise and analyse server power consumption with two customers benefits TCO optimization and improved environmental policy.

Control of energy bills and cost reductions

Power supply and cooling problems are at the heart of data centre IT manager a concern. The NEC Express5800/R120a-2 is a server based on intelligent energy consumption, using less energy which is in line with NEC "Green IT"policy:

• "80+" power supply certified, the NEC Express5800/R120a-2 is consuming less energy and is able to maintain cooler internal temperatures. It offers a more efficient system with optimized TCO.
  
  
• Supporting the Green Cooling technology, it minimizes the energy consumption for cooling system depending on its thermal environment, the workload and the configuration. The fan speed is regulated depending on the heat generated by the system.
  
  
• The new "Power Control Technology" functionality is integrated as standard on the NEC Express5800/R120a-2. This energy consumption management tool is able to monitor and optimize the power consumption of a single server or group of platforms at anytime.
  
  
• The NEC Express5800/R120a-2 get the most out of the power of the new generation of Intel® Xeon® Series 5500 45nm multi core processors, including the low-voltage Intel® Xeon® processors designed to increase performance per watt. This means that companies can benefit from a 40% to 130% increase in performance

Compared to the previous generation of NEC servers, when offering equal performance, a reduction in energy consumption of around 30% can be seen.

Simple remote management

Administration des serveurs maîtrisée

The NEC Express5800/R120a-2 server comes standard with "EXPRESSSCOPE ® and ESMPRO ®”, a complete & improved solution for remote management. It enables remote monitoring and management for each server regardless of the Operating System status and even in case the platform is turned off through a Web browser

This integrated software suite enables remote access functions through a LAN (KVM over IP, Remote media, and graph console), inventories, software and patch deployment, diagnostic and problem resolution via alerts, group management server. This solution provides a full server availability and operation efficiency for a better TCO

"ExpressReport" planned intervention

proactive alert maintenance service
This service aims to significantly reduce system down time by automatically detecting problems using the "NEC Maintenance Center" service, by proactively analysing and correcting system defects.

Simple from the first time you use it

"ExpressBuilder“ is a new installation and configuration tool, included as standard in the NEC Express5800/R120a-2 server, and thus allowing quick and easy configuration for up-to-date system maintenance.
