Reliability of operation and maintenance friendliness were at the heart of the conception of the H3C R4700 G3 server, with the aim of achieving high performance, extended durability, reliable storage capacity and I/O properties. Intuitively understood, easy configurable functions support simple management of the server. For operational safety, high-quality metal surfaces, which also feature a linear design, confer on the device a modern aesthetic. Coloured touchscreen elements guide the user through the procedure for correct operation and upgrading, while also helping to avoid faulty operation.
