The NEC Express5800/A1160 features state of the art NEC server technology with an up-to-4-box-capable building block structure powered by the Intel Xeon X7460 processor and high speed interconnect "HSI technology." The server combines both the high-scalability and high performance that are required in mission critical systems.

This industry-leading benchmark was achieved with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 running on the server hardware, which served as the database server, and NEC's innovative Enterprise Modular Storage D3-10 functioning as the database storage system.

NEC's achievement of this world-record benchmark with its new NEC Express5800 Scalable HA Server has solidified its industry-leading performance. Drawing from NEC's rich heritage in mainframe computing, the NEC Express5800 Scalable HA Server also has the reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features required to meet the increasing demands of business-critical applications. NEC is committed to providing mission critical database system solutions with NEC Express5800 Scalable HA Server products, their advanced performance and rich RAS features.
