Highest Level of Availability | NEC Express5800/340Hb-R specification

A better approach to fault tolerance in an enterprise class server.

Achieving full fault tolerance for large, enterprise class servers has proven to be an expensive and frustrating operation. Software clustering has been the best solution to date, but it is extremely costly to set up and maintain, and still results in hours of downtime each year. But now, with NEC’s new four-way High Availability Fault Tolerant server, you can put multiple data center applications on a single, powerful server—a server with two redundant sets of 4 Intel® Xeon® MP 2.8 GHz CPUs—for full fault tolerance and maximum reliability.

THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF AVAILABILITY

NEC Solutions America introduces an innovative approach to fault tolerance for large, enterprise class applications: the Express5800/340Hb-R Four-Way Fault Tolerant server. With four logical CPUs, this enterprise class server has the horsepower required to consolidate multiple applications onto one server.

Designed with complete hardware redundancy, every component in this four-way High Availability Fault Tolerant server has an identical part, so there is no single point of failure. If a component does fail, it provides instantaneous failover to the redundant component, ensuring that there is never a loss of system state or data. Furthermore, the server’s unique design employs hot-swappable modules, where if any component within the module fails, it can be replaced while the application continues to run at 100% on the redundant module.

The result is 99.999% uptime, the highest levels of availability in the industry. Most non-fault tolerant servers suffer an average of 44 hours of downtime each year, this four-way Fault Tolerant server averages less than 5 minutes of unplanned downtime a year.

Every IT department would like to reduce the number of servers in their architecture, and with the powerful performance of the NEC Express5800/340Hb-R, you can safely consolidate your applications onto one server.

POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR DATA CENTER APPLICATIONS

This four-way server has enough performance to run large, data center applications in a fully fault tolerant environment. Applications such as enterprise messaging, resource planning, customer relationship management, supply chain management and other mission critical applications can now safely be consolidated to a single server.

A MUST FOR MISSION CRITICAL APPLICATIONS

Server downtime can wreak havoc on an organization, especially those running mission critical applications. Because the NEC Four-Way Fault Tolerant server has the capability to run mission critical applications with full fault tolerance, it is the ideal solution for many organizations.

Financial. In banks, credit card sales authorization companies, or brokerage operations, downtime can cost millions of dollars per hour.
