Express 5800 series: Top share for the 11th straight year in Japanese
PC servers market
technologies down to the component level. NEC
can satisfy their needs with cutting-edge servers,
middleware and storage products based on
technologies cultivated through the process of
developing supercomputers and mainframes.
Furthermore, many NEC products have truly
unique features offered nowhere else. These
products include blade (thin) servers and space-
saving servers, as well as water-cooled silent
servers. Backed by strong customer support for
these products, NEC captured a 26% share of
Japan’s server market on a unit basis in 2006,
commanding the top share for the 11th straight
year (See photo).
Further Expansion in Network Systems
In fiscal 2007, Japan’s telecommunications
market experienced steady growth as mobile
communications service providers made
substantial investments in preparation for the
start of mobile telephone number portability in
October 2006, with the aim of retaining and
increasing their subscribers. These favorable
conditions supported steady growth in sales of
NEC’s Network Systems. Notably, NEC achieved
firm sales of 3G base stations, leveraging the
advantages of base stations with optical fiber
antenna extensions in efficiently covering places
between buildings and indoor locations prone
