CORPORATE IT UPDATE-(C)1995-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

NEC Computers, a subsidiary of NEC Corp, announced on 3 July the availability of the NEC Express5800/320Fd server, which is reportedly to be the final product in its Fault Tolerant (FT) server range. This range was designed to meet the demands of businesses looking for an infrastructure combining high availability with server consolidation capabilities.

The Express5800/320Fd offers Microsoft Server 2003 32 and 64 bit support. The 64bit capability means that Mocrosoft's Exchange 2007 product is available for the system, allowing customers to take advantage of Exchange 2007's new features.

The server is designed to support VMware 3.x and PARALLELS Virtuozzo 4.0 virtualisation solutions, making it suitable for high density virtual implementations.

NEC offers models starting from GBP18,900 for a system with 2 x CPU-RAM-I/O modules and duplex disks, 1 x 1 x Intel Xeon QuadCore 5450 3GHz/2x6Mb/1333MHz CPU, 2GB DDR2-667 memory, 73GB 15K SAS, a redundant power supply, Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition with 25 client licences and ESMPRO Server Manager and ExpressBuilder. As standard with this package comes client site installation and 1 year support from NEC's Ultracare ADVANTAGE pack, which offers remote proactive monitoring, alarm escalation, material and software assistance during working hours.

Higher levels of support are available with the Service Advantage and Service Premium support packages.
