| Key features & Benefits : |
| The NEC Express5800/320FT servers are the optimum choice for large accounts to medium-sized corporations running critical systems and data centres. |
|
| High availability |
99,999% system availability if offered by total element redundancy |
|
| Easy maintenance |
Modular concept: each module can be identified, and easily extracted without calling upon particular expertise and requiring use of specific tools. Simplified service |
|
| Standard components and software |
The components (Processors, memory, hard disks, expander cards) used are the same ones as those found in a standard Intel server. Because of this, NEC is now able to offer fault tolerant solutions at a more reasonable price. |
|
The Windows applications (Exchange, SQL server, SharePoint, etc...) used are identical to those installed on a standard server, therefore there is no need to modify them. |
|
This also applies to the Windows 2003 R2 (Security patches and Service packs are subject to a preliminary validation before being applied). |
|
| Economic solution |
Less expensive than a “cluster” based server |
|
As there is only one copy of applications, there is no need for the server to be “cluster-aware” |
|
Cost reduction compared to a standard system; reduced cost of immobilization. |
|
| Pro-active support |
Pro-active and remote monitoring |
|
Remote alert |
|
FT Service Contract |
|
| Continuous availability & Reduced Windows Maintenance Time |
Active Upgrade services: address planned server downtime to guarantee minimal disruption. |
|
Mirrored HotSwap HDDs and Rapid Disk Resync (RDR): enable quick copies of only the data that has changed, enabling rapid resynchronization of internal HDDs and faster system recovery. |
|
Support NEC ExpressCluster to secure critical applications: emails, data bases and applications are highly important for the smooth running of any business. The NEC new fault tolerant server combined with the NEC ExpressCluster solution delivers excellent high availability for applications by minimizing unplanned hardware failures. |
|
| Operational simplicity for a complete flexibility of the infrastructure |
The support of standard Microsoft and Red Hat operating systems:This enables a wide range of Open Source applications to run on Red Hat Linux on the high availability ft server. |
|
The support of Virtualization environments: VMware® certification |
|
| A concentrate of new Fault Tolerant technology |
The latest Intel® Xeon® Quad core processors |
|
Faster Front Side Bus (1333 MHz FSB): fast front-side bus with up to 66 percent greater CPU Input/Output (I/O). |
|
Increased memory capacity up to 24GB:50 percent increase in memory capacity and PCI-Express expansion for 25 percent faster I/O and compatibility |
|
Supports SAS HDDs to improve the scalability of the system. |
