RS720-X7/RS8 - Mass Storage Capacity in a 2U Chassis with 92%Power EfficiencyBased on the Intel Socket R E5-2600 processor platform, the ASUSRS720-X7/RS8 server offers customers assured quality of servicewith high memory capacity, outstanding power efficiency, quad LAN, and mass storage. It also enables comprehensive server managementand flexible RAID, offering functional integration that makes it anexcellent all-round choice for any IT application.
Mass storage capacity in a 2U chassisThe RS720-X7/RS8 features eight SAS/SATA 2.5 / 3.5-inch hard drivebays and supports up to 24TB storage capacity in 2U. Its hot-swapdesign provides 24/7 non-stop service, high availability, and easyupgrades.
Up to 92% power efficiencyEquipped with 1+1 redundant 770W 80 PLUS Gold power supplies, theRS720-X7/RS8 saves users money on energy costs while maintainingstrict environmental protection standards. The two power suppliesalso utilize a hot-swap design that allows work to continue even ifone of them requires maintenance or replacement.
Extensive expandabilityThe expansion slot design includes up to one PCI Express 3.0 x16slot and six PCI Express 3.0 x8 slots, meeting future expansiondemands with ease.
Quad LAN supportFour LAN ports offer higher networking bandwidth withload-balancing and fault-tolerance functions. The RS720-X7/RS8supports ASUS-made and most other available 10Gb/s LAN cards forthe fastest networking currently possible.
Intelligent thermal designThe front-parallel placement of the CPU and memory guides smoothairflow throughout the chassis, while smart fan control technologyadjusts fan speeds automatically based on system load.
Flexible RAIDThe RS720-X7/RS8 supports optional ASUS RAID PIKE upgrade kits. With these, users can integrate server capabilities with greaterdata security and quickly upgrade storage from SATA to SAS.
Built-in remote server managementThe web and graphical interface-based ASMB6-iKVM module lets usersfully control the server with out-of-band management using the IPMI2.0 standard for real time remote monitoring. Additionally, ASWMEnterprise provides one-to-multiple centralized management, including BIOS flashing, remote control, power control, and assetmanagement, all via a user-friendly interface.
