About NEC Express5800/R120a-2
The NEC Express5800/R120a-2 is an innovative two-socket server based on an energy efcient design and the Intel Xeon
5500 Series. The R120a-2 rack server is one of the rst servers to benet from the performance boost from Intel latest chip
technology. The R120a-2 also benets from NEC’s innovative energy efciency and additional space for storage and PCI
expansion in its 2U format. The NEC server is designed for application compatibility and high availability in a wide choice of
congurations. With very high quality ratings the NEC R120a-2 server can outlast other servers, delivering the best overall
total cost of ownership and excellent value.
Key Benets:
• High Performance
• Leverages newest Intel processors
• Higher throughput performance
• Performance optimized for virtualized environments
• Peak performance efciency for standard & clustered
applications, databases, and hypervisor platforms
• Energy Efciency
• NEC’s Green Cooling Technology minimizes power
consumption
• Dynamic fan control regulates server temperature
based on workload and conguration
• Power supply is 80 PLUS certied energy efcient to
save more energy.
• Quality and Value
• NEC delivers high quality servers optimizing latest
Intel technology
• Servers designed to run at maximum performance
over the life of its service
Overview:
The NEC Express5800/R120a-2 features enhanced memory
performance, including Intel’s Quick Path Interconnect
(QPI) technology to increase performance with DDR3-1066
memory support for faster access. Inclusion of PCI EXPRESS
2.0 with high speed bandwidth offers twice the capacity as
previous technology.
Power capping technology packs more servers into a smaller
space, while utilization of 2.5” HDDs affords lower power
consumption.
For more efficient management, NEC Includes server
utilities for centralized administration, with easy-to-use
EXPRESSBUILDER software for conguration and operating
system installation utilities. Remote management
capability is included through NEC’s EXPRESSSCOPE
management solution.
• Long warranty program for excellent value
• Minimal total cost of ownership
