NEC Express5800 320Lb Linux Datasheet
Full Fault Tolerance for
Enterprise Linux Applications
• Up to 99.999% of continuous availability
• Simplified maintenance
• Only one copy of the operating system and
applications required
• Lower total cost of ownership than software
based clusters
Provide continuous availability for mission critical applications
NEC’s Intel® Xeon™ processor-based fault tolerant servers are designed to
provide continuous availability for mission critical applications. These high
density servers raise the bar in performance while surpassing limitations
imposed by space and budgets. With second generation fault tolerant
technology, NEC’s Express5800 FT server supports faster processors and
more memory than before. With unique redundant modules that are easy to
manage and operate in lockstep this ensures continuous availability.
FULL FAULT TOLERANCE FOR
ENTERPRISE LINUX
Achieving fault tolerance in an enterprise Linux application is no
easy task. Clustering is expensive and labor-intensive, and cannot ensure continuous uptime. NEC’s Linux-based Express5800
Fault Tolerant server offers 99.999% continuous uptime and no
single point of failure, ensuring that Linux applications run in a
continuously available mode. From initial pricing and easy setup
to long-term simplified maintenance, the Express5800 FT meets
increasing demand for high availability and non-stop business
operations, while minimizing total cost of ownership.

APPLICATIONS
HIGH AVAILABILITY AND FULL FAULT TOLERANCE
The Express5800/320Lb from NEC Solutions America offers a
Linux-based fault-tolerant (FT) server that allows enterprises to
achieve high availability while minimizing server maintenance
costs. It features Dual Modular Redundancy (DMR) architecture
with redundant hardware components including CPUs, memory
modules and I/O. All components are hot swappable, so that
failed modules can be replaced without interrupting operation.
ENHANCED LINUX KERNEL
ENABLES CONTINUOUS UPTIME
The Express5800/320Lb FT server comes pre-installed with
a hardened Linux operating system that supports hardware
redundancy with failover-enabled drivers. The combination of
redundant hardware components and a hardened Linux OS
means that normal operation continues and no data is lost,
even if an outage or failure occurs. If a component fails, the
Express5800 FT isolates it immediately and the application
instantly continues to run on the redundant hardware.
Within the Express5800 FT servers are two Intel Xeon
Processors. These are duplicated in a separate CPU module
and two PCI modules are housed in a compact 4-unit chassis.
This four-way architecture provides enough performance to
run large, mission-critical Linux applications in a fully fault
tolerant environment.
