RS100-E8-PI2 - Smart compact 1U server

As always, ASUS works hard to deliver servers that offer optimalperformance. In this generation, the ASUS RS100-E8-PI2 supports thenew Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processor family, and can operate withgreat stability at up to 40-degree centigrade sustained ambienttemperatures. It is also features an 80 PLUS Bronze power supplyfor enhanced energy savings and lower power bills. In addition, itoffers advanced I/O options, a user-friendly design, and completeremote server management through ASWM Enterprise and ASMB7-iKVM. All of those features make the RS100-E8-PI2 the best server forSMBs.

The latest Intel processors
The RS100-E8-PI2 is ready for new-generation Intel Xeon 22nmprocessors, which deliver a significant performance improvementover previous-generation CPUs.

Ultra-quiet and energy-saving
The RS100-E8-PI2 delivers excellent noise mitigation, lowest as 30dB (idle mode), which is lower than the noise output of an averageprojector at 42dB. It also ships with an 80 PLUS Bronze powersupply to reduce power loss and power consumption, helpingconsumers save on energy bills.

Flexible deployment options in a compact rack formfactor
With a short 15 chassis, the RS100-E8-PI2 easily fits in diverserack cases, largely increasing density per rack to save space. Inaddition, it offers the ideal size for IT deployment, which alsosaves considerable cost when setting up a data center.

PCI Express 3.0-ready for powerful expandability
The RS100-E8-PI2 ships with one PCI-E x16 slot (Gen3 x8 link)designed to accommodate the power of full-height add-on componentssuch as 10Gb/s LAN cards. PCI Express 3.0 provides unprecedenteddata speeds, combined with the convenience of seamless backwardcompatibility with PCI Express 2.0.

Comprehensive Windows RAID support
Embedded RAID allows the RS100-E8-PI2 to support Intel RapidStorage Technology Enterprise for Windows, improving dataprotection and increasing storage reliability. Using RAID, serversset up with the latest Windows server-grade operating system runwith improved fault tolerance compared to non-RAID or single-drivesystems.

Optimized user experience design
A front VGA port provides greater convenience and flexibility, allowing customers to connect a monitor from the front. There isalso an asset tag on every RS100-E8-PI2 for better identificationwithin a server cluster. ASUS further furnishes several choices forOS drive placement, such as SSD and SATA DOM cages, plus internalType A USB.

Comprehensive remote management
ASUS presents the most complete remote server control, includingout of band ASMB7-iKVM and in-band ASWM Enterprise. Out-of-bandASMB7-iKVM offers LAN management, while in-band ASWM Enterpriseprovides one on many usage. IT professionals dont have to checkservers one by one, but instead can use ASWM Enterprise to monitorthe status of all servers from a friendly graphical userinterface.
