Enhanced Processing Performance

The Express5800/320F FT server features Quad-Core Intel Xeon

processors, achieving a 20% performance gain over existing fault

tolerant servers.

Servers for Mission Critical Applications

NEC Fault Tolerant (FT) servers provide an innovative solution

to address planned and unplanned downtime for mission-critical

IT infrastructure worldwide. The Express5800/320F server

delivers exceptional uptime through dual modular hardware

redundancy featuring Quad-Core Intel

servers provide high availability through hardware redundancy

in all components: CPU, memory, I/O, hard disk drives, and

cooling fans.

The heart of this dual modular architecture is the GeminiEngine

chipset, which is designed to enable “lockstep” processing.

Lockstep enables the processing of the operating system

and application software on both modules concurrently,

eliminating potential downtime if a hardware component fails on

either module.

Xeon® processors. These

Virtualization Operating System Support

Virtualization software support allows for multiple guest operating

systems to run in a single physical server, simplifying server

consolidation and migration. Application failure risk may increase

in virtual environments if the server hardware fails, because all of

the applications in the virtual environment will be affected. With

Fault Tolerant servers and their redundant modular architecture,

the risk of these applications going down is eliminated due to the

server’s continuous computing capability.

Reduction in Maintenance Time

™

The optional Active Upgrade™ splits the FT server into two

independently running systems and allows one of the systems

to run critical applications without interruption while Windows

security patches and program updates are being installed on the

other system.
