Leveraging NEC's world-class supercomputer and mainframe heritage, the NEC Express5800/1000 Series of servers represents the fifth-generation in NEC's family of highly expandable mid-range and enterprise server platforms. NEC's 1000 Series enterprise servers offer a track record of leading TPC performance. Combined with Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 these systems are the first in the industry to support dynamic hardware partitioning. Supporting the family of Intel Xeon processor 7400 & 7500 Series and Itanium processor 9100 Series and scalable from 2-96 processor cores, the NEC Express5800/1000 Series of servers are the ideal platform for consolidation, database, and line of business applications.
Representing the fifth generation Enterprise Server architecture from NEC, the Express5800/A1080a (GX) series provides exceptional configuration flexibility, capacity, reliability and availability features, not to mention record-breaking performance exploiting the inherent functionality of the Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series (Nehalem-EX). The A1080a Series is the Xeon based system from NEC designed to support Intel's Machine Check Architecture.
The NEC Express5800/A1160 (MX) has been designed specifically to exploit the functionality of Intel® Xeon® 7440 (4-core) and 7460 (6-core) processors to deliver unsurpassed consolidation and reliability.
The NEC Express5800/1320Xf is the third-generation of the Express5800/1000 Series with Intel® Itanium® processors incorporating NEC's innovative A3 (A cubed) chipset. NEC's A3 chipset contributes to the server's outstanding reliability, availability, serviceability (RAS) and performance. And NEC offers the industry's first Enterprise server with dynamic hardware partitioning functionality for Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008.

Dynamic Hardware Partitioning
Supercomputer Performance
The low latency and high performance memory and crossbar interface technology of NEC's supercomputers served as a basis for its Express5800/1000 Series. NEC recognizes that the demand for Itanium solutions is moving toward the high-end symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server market, where performance and scalability are vital. With the new Dual-Core Intel Itanium processors, NEC expects significant market growth as Itanium processing power becomes a mainstream processor for Enterprise servers.
Mainframe Reliability
NEC has delivered mainframe-class RAS features in its Express5800/1000 Series for over 40 years. The server supports modular designs, redundant components, hot plug capabilities, and floating I/O. Illustrating its mainframe technological capabilities, NEC was the first company in the world to demonstrate the dynamic reconfiguration of CPU and memory resources while running a beta version of Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008.
