NEC Express5800/A2000 Series
EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE, FLEXIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY FOR ENTERPRISE USE
Perfect Fit for Enterprise Use
EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE
The NEC Express5800/A2000 Series server is an enterpriseclass quad-socket 4U rack server based on the Intel®
Xeon® Processor E7 v2 Product Family. The server offers
the highest level of performance, availability, and flexibility
for compute-intensive and memory-hungry applications in
mission critical and virtualized environments.
HIGH AVAILABILITY
Flexible for Optimized Use
Advanced Flexibility
The NEC Express5800/A2000 Series server is highly flexible
to support ever demanding and dynamically changing onpremise or cloud workloads for large databases, analytics,
and large-scale virtualization. Capacity Optimization (COPT)
provides ability to flexibly optimize the resources by
allowing cores to be enabled dynamically. On-line addition
of resources such as CPU cores, memory module, and IO
cards offers flexibility to fit your business needs.
