PCIe 5.0 ReadyFaster storage, graphics and networking capabilities
PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 delivers 32GT/s bandwidth, which is twice the speed of PCIe 4.0, and offers lower power consumption, better land scalability and backwards compatibility. ASUS servers are PCIe 5.0 ready with scalability design to satisfy the increasing workloads for modern data center.
AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series ProcessorsThe 9004 Series EPYC CPUs amplifies the AMD history of x86 architecture innovations and record-breaking performance with next generation 5nm technology as well as introducing support for high performant DDR5 DIMMs and fast PCIe® Gen 5 I/O. EPYC 9004 CPUs support 12 memory channels with 2 DIMMs/channel capability, delivering the resources needed for memory hungry AI, ML, HPC, and large in-memory computations.
World Records LeadershipASUS holds the most amount of records in dual-socket (2P) and single-socket (1P) on SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark and dominate the computing performance. These top performance results provide a useful insight into compute-intensive workloads on different computer systems, enabling our customers to reduce complexity, tackle challenging workloads and accelerate system validations.
Computing PerformanceASUS servers feature Performance Boost technology to achieve the best server performance and agility by tuning servers to match the requirements of workloads, letting you gain greater control of your server environment. This technology improves workload throughput by maximizing processor frequency and boost power, ideal for timesensitive applications such as financial services or data center operations.
Power EfficiencyASUS select servers achieved most power efficiency positions on the SPEC Power benchmark for energy efficiency and demonstrate to customers how they can achieve faster deployments and higher energy efficiency for their IT infrastructure.
Scalable Storage SolutionThis server features scalable storage solutions to support maximum performance for data center flexibility, and enable industry-standard SAS/SATA/NVMe interfacing through Broadcom Tri-Mode RAID adapters for increased connectivity and security.
Accelerating performance
for AI workloads
Up to two dual-slot GPUsThis server features multiple PCIe 5.0 slots to meet the demands of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, including supporting up to two dual-slot active or passive GPUs, and Xilinx Alveo accelerators. The scalable configurations in one 2U system provide optimized acceleration for workloads across cloud and on-premises data centers, and for hybrid cloud environments in financial computing, machine learning, computational storage, and data search and analytics.
NVIDIA Omniverse
3D design collaboration and simulationASUS solutions for Omniverse give your organization a comprehensive package for Omniverse Enterprise. The diverse portfolio allows us to tailor a package to be fully compatible with your design environment and needs. As our long-term partnership with NVIDIA and ISV certifications, we’re fully invested in the Omniverse ecosystem and ready to help our partners develop new segments on this exciting platform.
Redundant Fans Support
Eight fans for uninterrupted operationThis server offers optional hot-swappable, redundant fans and dedicated air tunnels for the CPUs, GPUs and DIMMs for an extra thermal back-up solution. Eight fans for the system — four primary and four back-up fans to ensure nonstop cooling performance for nonstop server operation.
Server-management Solution
Remote server managementASUS ASMB11-iKVM is the latest server-management solution from ASUS, built upon the ASPEED 2600 chipset running on the latest AMI MegaRAC SP-X. The module provides various interfaces to enable out-of-band server management through WebGUI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and Redfish® API.
Streamline IT operations via a single dashboardASUS Control Center (ACC) is remote IT management software designed for monitoring your hardware and software IT assets and inventory status and enabling seamless remote BIOS configurations and updates, efficient IT diagnostics and troubleshooting and enhanced security with Hotfix updates, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.
Enhanced Security
Hardware Root-of-Trust SolutionDetect, recover, boot and protect
ASUS servers integrate PFR FPGA as the platform Root-of-Trust solution for firmware resiliency to prevent from hackers from gaining access to infrastructure. ASUS security solutions are fully compliant with the 2018 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800 193 specification.
Trusted Platform Module 2.0ASUS servers also include support Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) to secure hardware through integrated cryptographic keys and offer regular firmware update for vulnerabilities.
