NEC Express5800/A1160
enterprise servers
The NEC Express5800/A1160 enterprise server is developed from
a long heritage in both supercomputer- and mainframe-class
computing. Specifically created from the ground up around the new
7400 family of Intel multi-core (Dunnington) Xeon processors, NEC’s
Express5800/A1160 unleashes exceptional performance within a
very compact, modular, power efficient, and scalable design.
Leveraging a rich heritage in mission
critical computing, NEC delivers a new
product line specifically tuned for new
6-core Intel® Xeon® processors.

Power Efficient Consolidation
NEC A1160 Enterprise Servers are designed to support
advanced virtualization environments such as Microsoft’s®
newly released Hyper-V, VMware’s® ESX Server and Citrix
virtualization software. Compared to existing quad-core
Intel 7350 CPUs, new 7400 series CPUs provide up to 38% faster
Virtual Machine (VM) response, up to 40% more VM workload

capacity, and up to 50% better VM performance per watt*5. As a
result, NEC Expess5800/A1160 servers are an excellent platform to
implement virtualization driven system consolidation strategies.
Easy Scalability
In combination with its monster-sized configurability, whether
one node or four nodes, the entire configuration can appear as
one large system to system applications. For additional flexibility,
each node can be logically partitioned in order to support
efficient application stacking with the benefit of a single system
management umbrella.
12-Sockets
72-Cores
Extreme Modularity
Sockets
For convenient in-rack serviceability, NEC Express5800/A1160
Enterprise Server sub-system components (e.g., CPU, memory,
and I/O) are front and rear accessible. Additionally, all subsystem
components utilize quick insertion connectors — no tools required.
This advanced modular design allows for fast system service
without removal of the base chassis from the rack and without
heavy lifting.
