MLPerf Benchmarks
Top results on AI workloads
ASUS NVIDIA-Certified GPU servers have achieved top performance results in the data-center Closed division across six tasks on MLCommons® MLPerf™ training and inference benchmarks, outperforming other servers with the equivalent GPU configurations to create complete, optimized solutions and cultivate strong industry partnerships to enhance AI developments in diverse fields to push technology to its limits.
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.
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
2+2 Power Supplies
Up to 96% efficient for reduced operating costs
ESC8000-E11 supports up to four 3000 W 80 PLUS® Titanium redundant power supplies to reduce operating costs and enable easier servicing. When four power supplies are installed, the configuration can be set to redundant with 2+2 or 2+1 models. This ensures power is supplied to the system equally from all power supplies to maximize efficiency, enabling uninterrupted operation.
Storage
Scalable design for growing workloads
ESC8000-E11 is designed for easy scalability to fit growing businesses and workloads. With PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 slots that fit full-height, full-length GPU cards, ESC8000-E11 features different combinations of storage and networking expansions and multiple interface types for flexible storage configurations.?
