ASUS Launches ESC G2 Series GPU Servers and Workstations
ASUS has recognized that GPU computing is playing a more important role in the HPC market due to increased focus on applications that require massive computing power with high density scalability. To meet the growing demand in this sector, ASUS has announced the ESC4000 G2, ESC2000 G2, and ESC1000 G2 super computer servers and workstations. These servers offer professional users ample high density hybrid computing power, delivering a major upgrade in graphics capabilities and expansion paths. With support for four graphics cards and up to two Intel processors, they enable greater performance, at the same time presenting better reliability with Intel Ethernet and power supply redundancy. Expansion slots comply with new PCI Express 3.0 x16 specifications, and all power supplies adhere to 80 PLUS standards to ensure improved energy efficiency. Additional features such as hot-swap storage, ASUS PIKE, ASUS SSD Caching, and InfiniBand round off ideal platforms for high-demand computing requirements.
The ESC4000 G2 utilizes an 8+1 expansion design, while the ESC2000 G2 has seven slots, and the ESC1000 G2 offers six. For better reliability as required by non-stop professional operation, all models employ hot-swap hard drives to enable continued work in the event of system upgrades. Additionally, dual Intel Ethernet establishes greater network bandwidth and enhances connection stability with double fault tolerance and teaming capabilities. For power, the ESC G2 Series uses premium 80 PLUS power supplies. The ESC4000 G2 provides better redundancy and stronger safeguards against power surges and failures with dual 1620W 80 PLUS Platinum PSUs. The ESC2000 G2 and ESC1000 G2 feature a 1350W 80 PLUS Gold power supply. As such, all models are energy efficient, helping users lower electricity bills with cumulative savings over prolonged usage.
