RS720-E6/RS12 - 2 x Socket 1366 SSix-Core/ Quad-Core Intel Xeon X5600/ 5500, Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5600/ 5500, Six-Core/ Quad-Core Intel Xeon L5600/ 5500, QPI 4.8 / 5.86 / 6.4 GT/s, Intel 5520 + Intel ICH10R, 18 x DDR3 1066/1333 144GB (RDIMM)/48GB (UDIMM), 1 x PCI-E x8, 1 x PCI, 3 x PCI-E x16, 6 SATA2 300MB/s, Aspeed AST2050 8MB, 770W
Enterprise-Class 2U Server with Green Design
Mass Storage capacity up to 12 x 3.5” HDDs
RS720-E6/RS12 has twelve 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.
Extreme memory capacity up to 144 GB (RDIMM)
RS720-E6/RS12 is equipped with 18 DDR3 memory DIMMS to support up to 144GB(RDIMM) high memory scalability for computing intensive application. This board will offer you highest memory capacity without source for proprietary chassis & riser solution.
High Reliability with 1+1 770W Redundant Power Supply
The RS720-E6/RS12 is built with hot-swap 1+1 redundant power supply to provide easy maintenance and highly reliable 7X24 non-stop services by eliminating the risk of maintenance downtime.
Power-saving Solution
For optimized energy efficiency, the RS720-E6/RS12 is built with 80+ PFC high power efficiency power supply and EPU (Energy Processing Unit) engine to lower both power loss and power consumption for effective power use and bill saving. The EPU (Energy Processing Unit) engine provides optimal and effective CPU power management.
Optimized for Virtualization, VMDq Supported
On-board LAN supports Intel VMDq Technology which offloads CPU utilization and decreases latency to improve throughput for virtual machines. It benefits users by enhancing performance in virtualization environments. The onboard vertical USB connector for VMware ESXi supports virtualization application in RS720-E6/RS12.
Virtualization not only improves the server’s utility rate and manageability, but also reduces TCO for customers.
Optional ASMB4-iKVM Upgrade Kit for Easy Troubleshooting
The optional ASMB4-iKVM provides offers real-time web-based management and remote system control (KVM-over-IP) with a single local computer based on BIOS-level by keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM over Ethernet) from any local computer anywhere, anytime.
High Quality Components for Greater System Reliability
ASUS is the first company in the market to phase in 6-Phase CPU power, 3-Phase memory power and All Ultra Long Life Solid capacitors on system. These features deliver highly efficient and reliable operations.
