Furthermore, by also providing enhanced virtualization performance, the Intel Xeon Scalable CPU platform allows for up to 4.2 times more virtual machines (VMs) per system. Thanks to these features, along with ASUS's signature scalability, energy efficiency, and manageability capabilities, the RS700-E9 and ESC4000 G4 servers are highly attractive options for data center applications.
The RS720-E9 and ESC4000 G4 servers include support for two M.2 PCIe® drives, which allow the operating system to load 5.3 times faster than SATA 3 drives. These new servers also support NVMe® SSDs and Intel Omni-Path Architecture 100 Gbps to increase density in high-performance HPC applications and reduce costs.
The RS720-E9 features three PCIe 3.0 slots and one OCP 2.0 Mezzanine for LAN cards. Thanks to its optimized cooling, it can support 205W processors, 24 DIMMs, and up to 12 storage bays in a single-rack-unit chassis. Meanwhile, the ESC4000 G4 offers multiple configuration options for acceleration applications, with the capacity to house up to four double-height GPUs, 16 DIMMs, and a versatile 8+3 configuration in a two-rack-unit form factor.
All ASUS servers are equipped with exclusive Thermal Radar technology, which includes a greater number of sensors to monitor the temperature of the CPU, memory, GPU, SSD, 10G OCP LAN card, and front panel card. This reduces fan power consumption by 20% and eliminates the need for a shared fan power supply.
Thanks to the ASUS ASMB9-iKVM module and ASUS Control Center (ACC), the RS700-E9 and ESC4000 G4 servers provide all the necessary management and control functions. The ASMB9-iKVM offers continuous monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, even if the operating system has crashed or is offline, all through an intuitive interface compatible with major web browsers.
ASUS Control Center (ACC) is a monitoring platform included with ASUS commercial products such as servers, workstations, and digital signage solutions. ACC allows administrators to monitor component status, update the BIOS, deploy programs, and schedule tasks from an intuitive dashboard. This reduces the time required for daily tasks such as inventory checks.
