TELECOMWORLDWIRE-24 June 2008-NEC introduce new high-end blade servers(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

NEC Corporation of America, the US subsidiary of NEC Corporation and a provider of IT, network and identity management solutions, announced today (24 June) the introduction of the Express5800 SigmaBlade servers. The three models in the range, are aimed at Enterprise or datacentre customers needing high performance, cost effective rack-mounted servers.

Based on Intel Xeon 5200 and 5400 series processors, the twin socket blades fit in either of NEC's blade chassis offerings. The H-chassis is a 16-blade configuration, while the M-chassis can take 8 blades. Both supply the normal chassis services, including pass-thru, cooling and management.

The SigmaBlade 120Bb-6 server features two SAS 2.5-inch internal hard disk drives and 32GB memory. The SigmaBlade120Bb-d6 SAN server features up to 96GB memory but has no internal hard disk drives, it requires a connection to SAN storage to meet its hard disk memory needs making this option suited for data centre virtualisation

The SigmaBlade 120Bb-m6 server is a dual-slot, high capacity blade with the features from the other blade servers, including up to 96GB memory and six SAS 2.5-inch hard disk drives.
