ASUS Releases the ESC4000 2U GPU Server
ASUS recently announced the ESC4000, which is what they are calling the world’s most expandable 2U server that supports quad NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and integrated InfiniBand. The ESC4000 joins previous entries in the ESC server series from ASUS, including the ESC1000 and ESC2000, making it the first ever 2U rack model in its category. The ESC4000 offers almost double performance with the same space requirements when compared to similar products thanks to an innovative high density design. Through its advanced parallel computing performance, flexible design and versatile hardware, the ESC4000 serves the needs of high-end professional applications, including scientific, weather and financial modeling, as well as advanced medical and life sciences uses. The flexible 8+1 expansion options are a very nice touch.
Commenting on the launch of the ESC4000, Tom Lin, General Manager of the ASUS Server Business Unit, said, We’re proud to release the ESC4000, a true high density GPU server and the first ever such model offered in the compact 2U rack mount. The ESC4000 allows users to easily achieve highly optimized computing performance as well as maximized efficiency. Scientists, engineers and developers around the world are optimizing their applications to take advantage of the parallel processing capabilities of Tesla GPUs. The release of ASUS’ ESC4000 is well-timed, and gives these professionals a high performance, energy efficient platform upon which to deploy their applications, said Andy Keane, General Manager of Tesla Business at NVIDIA.
