Provided data protection for evolving businesses

To ensure and protect the availability and data security, the NEC server Express5800/SI2520 includes new features, the reliability of the server is guaranteed

• A new ultra-efficient RAID controller to increase the security of information (128 or 256MB cache with optional battery backup unit) with possibility of RAID packs 0, 1, 10, 5, 6
  
  
• Optional redundant HotSwap power supplies for continuous operation and more efficient system
  
  
• Wide choice of backup solution LTO, DAT to facilitate the backup, restoration and archiving of data.

Complete management solution

For easy installation and deployment:

• Integrated management controller (IPMI 2.0)
  
  
• Optional advanced remote management card with KVM over IP andRemote Media features
  
  
• Remote management solution “NEC System Area Manager”.
  A simple, open and unified administration solution for all enterprise infrastructures thus optimizing their overall IT budget.
  This complete solution - able to respond to the issues concerning implementation of tasks / remote configuration, inventory & reporting and software deployment - enables administrators to create and develop a true policy management of the energy up to a reduction in energy costs in the range of - 40%. The software suite allows you to manage energy with remotely monitor power consumption and the decrease.
  
  
• Simple from the first time you use it « ExpressBuilder »
  ExpressBuilder is a new installation and configuration tool, included as standard in the NEC Express5800/SI2520 server, and thus allowing quick and easy configuration for up-to-date system maintenance.

A 30% reduction of energy consumption and controlled costs

Based on intelligent energy consumption, the NEC Express5800/SI2520 use less energy which is in line with NEC "Green IT" policy:

• Certified "80+" power supply, the NEC Express5800/SI2520 is consuming less energy and is able to maintain cooler internal temperatures. It offers a more efficient system with optimized TCO.
  
  
• NEC Express5800/SI2520 get the most out of the power of the new generation of Intel® Xeon® Series 5500 45nm multi core processors. 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.

Remote management

The NEC Express5800/SI2520 server presents a great simplicity of implementation, administration and increasing power, ensuring a better use and greater cost control. Indeed, it has an integrated management controller (IPMI 2.0) with an optional remote management card to generate a level of maximum productivity and to enable teams to limit their interventions, thus minimizing the assistance and administration costs.

This software suite provides operational and management features, remotely access and intervention through a LAN (KVM over IP, Remote Media) and installation/configuration tools.

A competitive, open and intuitive solution! NEC System Area Manager can be used alone or can be integrated into an existing business infrastructure, namely: OpenView SNMP, Netview, etc. or Event Log for Microsoft MOM or Net IQ. Indeed, the software allows administrators to manage and monitor both PCs, servers, storage and workstations, whether NEC or another brand under Windows, Linux and VMware without database deployment and complex maintenance.

Modular server

The NEC Express5800/SI2520 is the only server on the market with full modularity in terms of disks (SAS/SATA) and a fixed or redundant power supply. It provides an ideal compromise between flexibility, performance and configuration capacities.

This technology enables spectacular bandwidth savings on the disks. It allocates a dedicated bandwidth per disk, with a maximum theoretical speed that can reach up to 3Gb/s or 384Mb/s.

Universal RAID simplicity

The NEC Express5800/SI2520 protects business critical data thanks to the new robust and cost-effective SAS/SATA RAID solution: 8 ports SAS RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 with 128MB or 256MB cache with or without Battery Backup Unit.

• One controller able to manage SAS and SATA drives in 2,5 " or 3,5 " HDD.
• Possibility of mixing SAS and SATA disks on the same backplane.
• Unique RAID management software available across all product range server under Windows and Linux.

The NEC Express5800/SI2520 offers critical business applications unparalleled data protection capabilities.

Offers Dual gigabyte Ethernet controllers as standard

With load balancing and Fault Tolerant designed to improve network data transfer (transmission speed doubled)

• Double the data bandwidth between the server and the data network
