Sustainability
Keep your data center green
Data centers can consume huge amounts of electricity, raising environmental concerns. ASUS servers are designed to optimize both total cost of ownership (TCO) and total cost to the environment (TCE), including thermal design, power efficiency and advanced cooling solutions — reducing the impact of our products on the planet.
Liquid Cooling
Comprehensive liquid-cooling solutions
Better data-center power efficiency
As liquid cooling is maturing in the age of supercomputing, ESC4000-E11 is purpose-built for sustainability. ESC4000-E11 supports liquid-cooled NVIDIA® A100 PCIe GPU that delivers powerful performance with less energy and provides direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling or immersion-cooling solutions for maximum data-center energy efficiency.
Turnkey rack support for solutions with full installation and testing
Server validated on selected liquid cooling solutions
Close partnerships with industry-leading cooling solution providers
Air Cooling
Optimized Thermal Design
Independent CPU and GPU airflow tunnels
Our servers features a streamlined design with dedicated CPU and GPU airflow tunnels for seriously efficient heat dissipation. This advanced design provides better cooling for both the GPU and CPU, enabling heat to be expelled into the surrounding ambient air for greater energy efficiency and overall savings on system power.
Redundant Power
Titanium power supplies
Up to 96% efficient for operating cost reduction
ESC4000-E11 supports 2600 W 80 PLUS® Titanium redundant power supplies to ensure power is supplied to the system equally from all power sources, maximizing efficiency and enabling uninterrupted operation.
Management
Comprehensive IT infrastructure solutions
Advanced ASUS management tools comprise IT assets management, security and reliability to improve the performance, up-time and real-time monitoring of the servers remotely — highly increasing the efficiency of IT infrastructure.
BMC Management
BMC
Remote server management
ASUS ASMB11-iKVM is the latest server-management solution from ASUS, built upon the ASPEED 2600 chipset running on the latest AMI MegaRAC SP-X. The module provides various interfaces to enable out-of-band server management through WebGUI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and Redfish® API.
ASUS Control Center
IT infrastructure-management software
Streamline IT operations via a single dashboard
ASUS Control Center (ACC) is remote IT-management software application designed for monitoring 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.
Platform Firmware Resiliency
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.
TPM 2.0
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.
