<b>2U Storage Server for Enterprise Applications</b>
RS520-E6/ERS8 is leading in computing power with support of the Intel® Xeon® 5500 series processor platform and total 12-DIMM memory capacity for computing-intensive applications. With 8 HDDs and versatile features, the RS520-E6/ERS8 is ideal for storage server use.
<b>Mass Storage Capacity & Complete RAID Solution</b>
RS520-E6/ERS8 has eight 3.5” hot-swap HDD bays to support SATA or SAS HDDs, meeting the demand of mass storage. The hot-swap design is reliable for 7x24 non-stop services. With ASUS optional PIKE upgrade kit, the server is able to provide flexible RAID choices.
<b>Flexible I/O Expansion Choices</b>
Catering to different demands of users, RS520-E6/ERS8 is equipped with three PCI-Express expansion slots, two of which support Full-Height/Full-Length PCI-E G2 card.
<b>High Availability for Mission Critical Enterprise applications</b>
The RS520-E6/ERS8 is built with hot-swap 1+1 redundant power supply to provide better reliability and eliminate the risk of downtime caused by power supply. In addition, the HDD bays are also hot-swappable for easy maintenance.
<b>Power-saving Solution</b>
With 80+ PFC high efficiency power supply, RS520-E6/ERS8 is able to reduce the power loss and power consumption, and save power bill for users, which can be a large deal for 7x24 hour non-stop servers. The EPU (Energy Processing Unit) engine will provide optimal and effective CPU power management.
<b>Virtualization Support</b>
The onboard vertical USB connector for VMware ESXi supports virtualization application in RS520-E6/ERS8. Virtualization not only improves the server’s utility rate and manageability, but also reduces TCO for customers.
<b>Real-time and Out-of-band Server Management</b>
The optional ASMB4-iKVM module offers real-time web-based management and remote system control (KVM-over-IP) with a single local computer.
