Computers Inc has launched the Express5800/120Le system, an architecturally advanced, dual-processor-capable, Intel(R) Pentium(R) III-based server. A high-performance, expandable server for growing small businesses, school systems and universities, the Express5800/120Le provides support for large file/print sharing applications, electronic mail and collaboration, Internet and intranet, databases and other specialized applications. The new system offers the high-reliability features necessary for demanding computing environments, including hot-swap hard-drive capability, a redundant hot-swap power supply option and redundant cooling fans. The Express5800/120Le server delivers scalable configurability with up to two Intel(R) Pentium(R) III processors, six PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). expansion slots, and a 32-bit or 64-bit RAID option. The server also offers outstanding I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output performance from the Ultra160 SCSI controllers and flexible packaging as either a tower or a 5U rack-mount chassis. Built-in remote management capabilities enhance system monitoring A System Monitor (SM) is a process within a distributed system for collecting and storing state data. There are many issues involved with designing and implementing a system monitor. and control of server operations. "The Express5800/120Le server features the performance and dependability that today's server customers demand," said Peter Thayer, director of marketing of NEC Computers Inc.'s Server Business Unit. "With the Express5800/120Le server, NEC Computers delivers versatility, outstanding availability features and integrated remote management capabilities to help customers manage their total cost of ownership."

See digispeak. ), which enables system administrators to continuously monitor, analyze, and manage client/server information and operation throughout the network via a LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. or WAN. The ESMPRO Management Suite software facilitates quick response to critical issues and provides tools for proactive planning and server administration, which can help to reduce the risk of system downtime or failure. The updated EXPRESSBUILDER setup and configuration software is designed to enable seamless system installation for Microsoft(R) Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs.
