Smooth migration to future processors

The Express5800/1000 series servers now support the Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® processors with two complete 64-bit cores on each processor. From the beginning of development, state-of-the- art technologies have been built into the Itanium® processors to answer to the stringent levels of throughput, scalability, reliability, and availability that are required by the server platforms, and also provided top-level performance. With the deployment of the present day Dual-Core system, a smooth migration to future multi- core systems can be assured.

Resource virtualization through floating I/O

Flexible resource management allows for robust server virtualization

The Express5800/1000 series employ floating I/O to allow for the flexible combination of Cell cards and PCI boxes (I/O). The computational and I/O resources can be virtualized, allowing for the flexibility to reallocate system resources into the most optimal configuration according to operation or load.

Furthermore, with the existence of a spare Cell card, the system can swap the failed Cell card with the spare in the event of a failure, and reboot the system so that business operation can resume without loosing valuable computational resources.

Windows® operating system and Linux operating systems supported

Along with the industry’s prevalent Microsoft® Windows® operating system,the Express5800/1000 series servers also support the Linux operating system. By dividing the system into multiple partitions, it is possible to support multiple operating systems within a single server.

With the inception of the Itanium® Solutions Alliance (ISA), whose main objective is to promote the advancement of Itanium® -based solutions, applications streamlined to perform on the Itanium® -based servers, such as the Express5800/1000 series servers, have increased considerably.

Superior standard chassis configuration

Small footprint and a highly scalable I/O

With the ability to load 32 Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® processors (1320Xf) into an industry standard 19-inch rack footprint, the Express5800/1000 series server has proved to have the industries highest level of performance per unit area. Because additional space is not required in the datacenter in order to accommodate

the Express5800/1000 series server, it is an ideal candidate for replacement or consolidation of older systems.

The 1080Rf is a very compact 8U model which can support up to 8 internal 3.5 inch HDD and 16 PCI cards.
