NEC Four-Way Fault Tolerant Server

Full fault tolerance for your enterprise applications.

• 99.999% server uptime

• Runs large data center applications

• True, high availability enables server consolidation

• Ideal for server virtualization

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.

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.

A better approach to fault tolerance in an enterprise class 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.
