RS720QA-E12-RS8U
The ASUS RS720QA-E12-RS8U is a high-efficiency barebone server, engineered for demanding tasks like CDN, HCI, and cloud applications. Its four-node design supports dual processors per node, offering 24 DIMM slots, PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, and M.2 storage. Optimised for direct liquid cooling, it ensures superior thermal management for high TDP CPUs. The server also features redundant 3200W or 2600W Titanium power supplies, maximising power efficiency. IT management is enhanced with ASUS ASMB11-iKVM remote control, ASUS Control Centre software, and a hardware-level Root-of-Trust solution, providing strong security and simplified management.
PCIe 5.0 Ready
PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 offers a significant leap in bandwidth with 32GT/s, doubling the speed of PCIe 4.0 while reducing power consumption and improving scalability. ASUS servers are ready to handle the increasing workloads of modern data centres with this advanced PCIe 5.0 design.
Massive Computing Performance
Transform your data centre TCO with the high-density RS720QA-E12-RS8U, powered by AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors. This innovative 2U chassis accommodates four nodes, each supporting dual-socket CPUs and PCIe 5.0, perfectly suited for optimising efficiency, density, and TCO in data centres, web servers, virtualisation, cloud, and hyperscale environments.
Data Centre Sustainability
Purpose-built for intensive HPC workloads, this server is designed to balance power consumption and green energy awareness. With its optimised space design and direct-to-chip cooling, it delivers lower PUE and operating costs. Partnering with industry leaders, ASUS offers a complete solution, from servers to cooling modules and data centre layouts.
Direct-to-Chip Cooling
ASUS’s direct-to-chip cooling provides a quick, straightforward solution for enhanced thermal efficiency. Compatible with existing rack setups, this cooling method reduces PUE and lowers TCO by supporting diverse cooling solutions, including rear-door heat exchangers, without the need for full rack replacements.
AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processors
The AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series brings next-gen performance with 5nm technology, supporting high-performance DDR5 DIMMs and fast PCIe® Gen 5 I/O. With 12 memory channels and 2 DIMMs per channel, these CPUs are ideal for AI, ML, HPC, and large-scale in-memory computations.
World-Record Leadership
ASUS leads in dual-socket (2P) and single-socket (1P) performance benchmarks, dominating the SPEC CPU 2017. These achievements highlight ASUS’s capability in managing compute-intensive workloads, helping customers reduce complexity and accelerate system validation.
Remote Server Management
ASUS ASMB11-iKVM, based on the ASPEED 2600 chipset, is the latest remote management solution, offering WebGUI, IPMI, and Redfish® API support for comprehensive out-of-band server management.
ASUS Control Centre
ASUS Control Centre (ACC) is a remote IT management software suite designed for monitoring hardware and software assets, enabling remote BIOS configurations, and enhancing security through Hotfix updates, making server management efficient and straightforward.
Enhanced Security
ASUS servers incorporate PFR FPGA for platform Root-of-Trust firmware security, protecting against unauthorised access. They also support TPM 2.0 for hardware security via integrated cryptographic keys and provide regular firmware updates to address vulnerabilities.
