In today’s fast-paced business environment, all enterprises, from the world’s largest 

companies to the smallest depend on IT. Enterprise resource planning ( ERP), customer 

relationship management (CRM ), and business intelligence ( BI ) all require that transactions 

are quickly processed and that the resulting data is reliable as to meet the requirements of the 

rapidly changing business environment. The need for higher performance and better reliability 

is growing exponentially in enterprise IT platforms.

People no longer consider mainframe systems and vector supercomputers as open enterprise 

IT platforms. However if one were able to have supercomputer performance and mainframe 

reliability for the cost of an open server in a datacenter, many may reconsider.

Next generation enterprise IT platform 

NEC Enterprise Server 

Express5800/1000 series

Leveraging NEC’s vector supercomputer and mainframe technology, Express5800/1000 series 

is designed to meet the requirement of today’s mission critical enterprises.

With the new Dual-Core Intel

®

 Itanium

®

 processor 9000 series and the NEC designed 

third generation chipset “A

3

”, from chipset, board to system-level design, NEC has never 

compromised to realize mainframe-class reliability and supercomputer-class performance. 

Express5800/1000 series is the perfect IT platform for the most demanding mission critical 

enterprises.
