High-density server with great scalability for High-Performance Computing (HPC)
RS720Q-E9-RS8 supports two of the latest Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors, featuring 205W CPUs with 56 cores and 112 threads for leading performance. It also has 24 memory slots that fit up to 3TB of DDR4 2666 memory for intensive computing.
RS720Q-E9-RS8 is the ideal server solution for compute-intensive workloads that require scalability, density and performance, including high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics, datacenter operations and private cloud applications. Featuring a modular 2U chassis containing four server nodes that handle twice the workload per rack unit, RS720Q-E9-RS8 delivers incredible performance with reduced space requirement and operating costs.
RS720Q-E9-RS8 natively supports eight SATA and SAS drives as well as up to eight direct-connected NVMe SSDs for high-speed data access. IT administrators can also add 2.5″ HDDs or SSDs to the front hot-swap bays for even more storage.
RS720Q-E9-RS8 features an embedded ASMB9-iKVM module and is bundled with ASUS Control Center software to provide comprehensive in-band and out-of-band management.
Each node of RS720Q-E9-RS8 is engineered to run two of the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family processors, featuring up to total 28 cores per processor and 165W power consumption. This 4-node server features 48 memory slots in total that fit up to 6TB of DDR4 2666 memory for intensive computing.
RS720Q-E9-RS8 supports optional Intel Omni-Path Architecture (up to 100Gbps) configurations for HPC environments.
RS720Q-E9-RS8 features a smart Thermal Radar design with more ambient thermal sensors for the CPU, memory, NVMe SSD, PSU and front-panel board that provide improved temperature monitoring and enable dynamic fan speed adjustment for better power efficiency. This smart thermal design reduces fan power consumption by up to 20% and eliminates the power-sharing board for improved efficiency and lower operation costs.
