Awards for Best ServerAwards for Best Server

“This kind of constant availability can be valuable to almost any type of business, most notably those providing portal or Web services. Collaboration and messaging applications are also best-served by fault-tolerant systems, especially when you consider that many companies grind to a halt in the absence of e-mail.”

The overall Best of Show winner at TECH ED 2003 was NEC Solutions’ Express 5800/320Lb-R Server. “This product redefines the fault-tolerant product category,” said Chernicoff. 6/5/03

The overall Best of Show winner at CeBIT America was the NEC Solutions’ Express 5800/320Lb Server. “Technology that was $250,000 just one year ago is now $26,000. The Express 5800/320 LB offers data and application integrity, remote serviceability, and is completely modular, including the CPU, storage, PCI boards and power supplies. Each can be removed or replaced like a toner cartridge without bringing down the server. “ 6/19/03

“It’s perfect for environments where even a few hours of downtime are not an option.”
