Transform your data center TCO with the high-density server powered by 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors. With an innovative design that fits four nodes in a 2U chassis, RS720Q-E11-RS8U accommodates dual-socket CPUs, PCIe 5.0 to satisfy the increasing demands for efficiency, density and TCO-optimization for data centers, web servers, virtualization, cloud and hyperscale environments.

Data Center Sustainability – Cooling Solutions
A comprehensive liquid cooling solution
This 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 solution
ASUS 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 solution
ASUS 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 Processors
5th 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. This innovation powerhouse accelerate AI, HPC, Analytics, Networking, Storage and offer eight DDR5-5600 memory channels for up to 2 TB capacity, 80 PCI Express® 5.0 lanes with CXL 1.1 support, and a 350 W TDP for 1P and 2P configurations — ready for the future of computing.

World Records Leadership
ASUS 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.

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 dashboard
ASUS 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 Solution
Detect, 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.
* 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 2.0
ASUS 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.
