Data Center Sustainability – Cooling Solutions
A comprehensive liquid cooling solutionThis server is a purpose-built for intensive workloads for HPC data centers, with optimized space design to fit direct-to-chip and immersive cooling solutions, delivering lower PUE and Operating Expenditures to balance power consumption and green energy awareness. By working with our partners, we’re able to deliver a total solution — from servers to liquid-cooling modules, and even data-center floor plans and suggested infrastructure.
Direct-to-chip cooling solutionASUS direct-to-chip cooling is a quick, simple option that’s based on existing infrastructure. D2C can be deployed quickly, and lower PUE (power-usage effectiveness). ASUS servers can support manifolds and cool plates to enable diverse cooling solutions. Moreover, ASUS servers can support a rear-door heat exchanger that complies with standard rack-server designs, so there’s no need to replace all racks — just the rear door. This lowers the total cost of ownership, and increases data-center utilization ratio.
Immersive cooling solutionASUS Immersion cooling is another highly-effective solution from ASUS. This technique offers more advantages on PUE and encompasses higher-density servers. However, it also demands more space, and may require retooling of the data-center infrastructure. But immersion cooling can control temperatures more rapidly, efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional methods. For users of supercomputers in particular, immersion cooling is the preferred option.
5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors unleashes up to 21% average general-purpose performance gain, significantly improving AI inference and training, all via the drop-in-compatible LGA-4677 socket.

Enhanced Security
Hardware Root-of-Trust Solution
Detect, recover, boot and protectASUS 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.
* Platform Firmware Resilience (PFR) module must be specified at time of purchase and is factory-fitted. It is not for sale separately.
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.
