Key Features Asus RS720-E9-RS8-G

Specification Asus RS720-E9-RS8-G

Powered by the latest 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors

RS720-E9-RS8-G is built on the latest 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors to deliver incredible 2U server performance, packing incredible power into minimal space. RS720-E9-RS8-G offers breakthrough performance with the latest Intel Optane™ DC persistent memory with an over 88% gain in input/output operations per second (IOPS) compared with the same configuration in SSD. Featuring the latest Intel Deep Learning Boost technology to enhance deep learning capabilities, RS720-E9-RS8-G achieves a 3.1X performance improvement in the ResNet-50 and SSD VGG-16 models, fully demonstrating the inference capability of the new platform.

Dual GPU Support for Graphics-intensive Applications

Exclusive Performance Boost technology

Exclusive Thermal Radar technology for energy efficiency

RS720-E9-RS8-G features ASUS-exclusive Thermal Radar technology with ambient sensors placed in CPU, memory, NVMe, SSD, OCP mezzanine connector for internal and external temperature monitoring, and dynamic fan-curve adjustment, which lowers fan power consumption by up to 20% and reduces total cost of ownership — ideal for data centers with extreme workloads.

Dedicated Airflow Management

RS720-E9-RS8-G is designed with dedicated airflow channels for the whole system, four dedicated fans for the GPU, and four system fans for the CPU to deliver reliable performance and thermal control.

Smart thermal design for energy efficiency

RS700-E9-RS4 features a smart thermal radar design with more ambient thermal sensors for the CPU, memory, GPU, SSD, LAN card 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.

Scalable Design for Growing Workloads

RS720-E9-RS8-G is designed for easy scalability to fit growing businesses and multiple workloads. It is available with a choice of two PCIe Gen3 x16 links to fit full-height, full-length GPU cards, and it features three PCIe x8 links for HBA/RAID cards to deliver parallel computing power.

RS720-E9-RS8-G also features multiple interface types for flexible storage configurations, including dual PCIe or SATA M.2, and port-to-port OCuLink with Intel VROC technology for four hot-swappable 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs. It also fits up to eight 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch 6Gbps SATA HDDs or eight 2.5-inch SAS HDDs with an HBA/RAID card.

Ultrafast Connectivity for HPC Applications

RS720-E9-RS8-G features two embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports and one PCIe slot for 100G high speed LAN cards. Additionally, it supports one OCP 2.0 Mezzanine card, ideal for HPC applications that require high-bandwidth, low-latency network support to connect multiple nodes and clusters.

Comprehensive IT infrastructure management

RS720-E9-RS8-G features an embedded iKVM module and is bundled with ASUS Control Center to provide comprehensive out-of-band and in-band management features for small and mid-size businesses.

The embedded ASMB9-iKVM module supports remote BIOS updates, fan control, standalone KVMs, video recording, and BSOD capture, providing around-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnostics — even if the operating system is down or offline — through a user-friendly, web-based graphical interface that works with all major browsers.

ASUS Control Center (ACC) is a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, monitoring of multiple systems via mobile devices, and one-click software updates and dispatching, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.
