About the NEC Express5800/R120h-2E Rack Server

The NEC Express5800/R120h-2E is a 2U dual-socket rack server designed for enterprise data centers requiring high compute density and reliability. It supports 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) with up to 40 cores per socket, delivering exceptional performance for virtualization, database, and HPC workloads. The platform leverages NEC's ESMPRO management software for comprehensive lifecycle management, fault prediction, and remote administration.

The R120h-2E supports up to 4TB of DDR4-3200 ECC Registered memory across 32 DIMM slots, enabling large in-memory database workloads. Its flexible storage architecture accommodates up to 24 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives with hot-swap capability, supported by an LSI MegaRAID or Intel VROC controller. The system includes dual 10GbE onboard ports and supports a wide range of PCIe 4.0 expansion cards.

NEC's proprietary SIGMABLADE integration and ESMPRO Agent provide predictive failure analysis using SMART data and sensor feeds, reducing unplanned downtime. The server is certified for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, making it a versatile platform for mixed enterprise environments across Japan, Asia-Pacific, and EMEA regions.

Ideal for

  • VMware vSphere virtualization host consolidation
  • Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database workloads
  • SAP HANA scale-up deployments
  • Enterprise middleware and application server hosting
  • High-performance computing cluster nodes
  • Private cloud infrastructure with OpenStack
