Express5800 Servers
Scalable HA Server Series
Express5800/A1080a
NEC’s premier line of enterprise
platforms pursuing the highest
level of scalability, availability,
and reliability in every aspect
to support your business in the
cloud era
Exceptional flexibility, capacity, and record-breaking performance
Exceptional performance
Exploiting the inherent functionality of Intel^® Xeon^® Processor
E7-8800 and E7-4800 product family, the latest multi-core CPU
adapting QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) architecture, A1080a series
gluelessly scales up to 8 CPUs and 80 cores. Maximum 16 memory
slots per CPU socket are supported to enable up to 2TB of total
memory in an 8 CPU configuration. Parallel processing of total 160
threads and massive memory enable exceptional processing
performance to address demanding requirements for real-time
analysis of vast databases and accommodating data warehouse
systems (DWH) as well as large-scale virtualized environments.
Cost savings
Components such as heat sinks, air ducts, and fans use light material
to reduce total weight*¹ by 14% compared to the previous model. In
addition, 80 PLUS^® Gold certified*² power supplies are adopted for
high energy efficiency. Through weight and power reduction, A1080a
series contribute to minimize your costs on IT infrastructure.

integrate more energy-efficient power supplies into electronic devices
Simple management and highly-reliable design
Combining Intel’s new architecture with NEC’s advanced RAS
features, the A1080a series provide efficient monitoring and
management capabilities. It also offers exceptional availability and
serviceability with built-in service processors that work in conjunction
with NEC’s BIOS and Intel’s Machine Check Architecture (MCA)
recovery function to simplify management of all server resources.
For enterprise-level computing solutions
A1080a series servers deliver exceptional reliability and scalability to
meet enterprise requirements of the most demanding mission-critical
applications and cloud services platforms.
• Large-scale server consolidation and virtualization platforms
which require massive resource pools
• Compute-intensive enterprise application servers of large-scale
database environments and ERP systems
