NEC Express5800/A1080a

 
Exceptional configuration flexibility, capacity, record-breaking performance and reliability - exploiting the inherent functionality of the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 (Westmere-EX) series servers.
 
Scalable and Flexible
NEC's Express5800/A1080a series server can accommodate up to 2 TB of memory and 160 threads with modular in-box partitioning in an innovative single 7U chassis. Whether for memory hungry virtualization solutions, compute intensive databases, or high availability for mission-critical business, IT managers have the flexibility to scale and configure the new Express5800/A1080a series server as a common platform for their unique datacenter requirements.
 
Exceptional Performance
Building upon the record-breaking performance of the NEC enterprise scalable servers, the A1080a series server utilizes Intel's QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology, delivering over 200% improvement in database performance compare to previous generation.
