Power Efficient Consolidation

NEC A1160 Enterprise Servers are designed to support advanced virtualization environments such as Microsoft’s® newly released Hyper-V, VMware’s® ESX Server and Citrix virtualization software. Compared to existing quad-core Intel 7350 CPUs, new 7400 series CPUs provide up to 38% faster Virtual Machine (VM) response, up to 40% more VM workload capacity, and up to 50% better VM performance per watt*5. As a result, NEC Expess5800/A1160 servers are an excellent platform to implement virtualization driven system consolidation strategies.

Easy Scalability

In combination with its monster-sized configurability, whether one node or four nodes, the entire configuration can appear as one large system to system applications. For additional flexibility, each node can be logically partitioned in order to support efficient application stacking with the benefit of a single system management umbrella.

Extreme Modularity

For convenient in-rack serviceability, NEC Express5800/A1160 Enterprise Server sub-system components (e.g., CPU, memory, and I/O) are front and rear accessible. Additionally, all subsystem components utilize quick insertion connectors — no tools required. This advanced modular design allows for fast system service without removal of the base chassis from the rack and without heavy lifting.
