14 DAY TRIAL // Nec launched the Express5800/110Ca, a silent IA server, the first of its kind to integrate water-based cooling technology capable of reducing operating noise to a very low level of about 30dB.
Using the water-cooling technology, the Nec Express5800/110Ca meets the demand for silent operation in noise-sensitive environments such as hospitals, libraries, and schools. Improved server performance enabled through higher CPU performance and faster hard drive revolutions often results in higher occurrence of CPU malfunction from heat generated inside the chassis, component wear-out and cooling fan failures, leading to the interruption of stable system operation.
One solution to prevent heat escalation is to install additional cooling fans with faster revolutions. However, this leads to an increase in noise level. As the first server to integrate water-based cooling technology, Nec Express5800/110Ca is a solution to noise issues and produces a noise level equivalent to that of a whisper.
Powered by an Intel Pentium 4 Processor running at 3GHz, the water-cooled server 110Ca is provided with up to 4GB of ECC RAM and three silent-type hard disk drives configured in RAID 5. Nec's status monitoring software, ESMPRO Manager/Agent, is bundled to monitor CPU, memory, hard disk drives and the water cooling pump status.
