ASUS RS720A-E13-RS8U Socket SP5 Rack (2U) Negro, Plata

The Asus RS720A-E13-RS8U is a 1U rack server engineered for data center and enterprise environments that require high I/O throughput and dense NVMe storage. Supplied with a 2.7 kW power supply, this chassis supports sustained heavy workloads and delivers stable power for compute and storage components. The front-accessible eight NVMe bays enable low-latency, high-bandwidth local storage ideal for virtualization, database services and other I/O-intensive applications.

Advantages

The server combines concentrated NVMe capacity with a high-capacity 2.7 kW PSU to maintain performance during sustained peak loads while minimizing storage latency. Its 1U form factor optimizes rack density without sacrificing thermal management and accessibility for maintenance. Designed for enterprise-class reliability, the platform supports common data-center requirements such as high-performance local flash and robust power delivery.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• High-performance databases and real-time analytics
• Storage-heavy applications requiring low-latency NVMe access
• AI/ML inference nodes where fast local storage reduces data transfer time
• Enterprise web and application servers with intensive I/O

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack server
• Front-access: 8 hot-swap NVMe drive bays
• Power supply: 2.7 kW redundant-capable design (installed PSU wattage specified)
• Optimized for high I/O throughput and low-latency storage
• Cooling and thermal design suitable for dense NVMe configurations
• Expandable memory and CPU options compatible with enterprise server platforms

How to use

Install the server in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and connect to your data-center power and network infrastructure according to facility guidelines. Populate the NVMe bays with compatible drives, configure RAID or software-defined storage as required, and install the chosen operating system and hypervisor or database software. Follow vendor instructions for firmware and driver updates to ensure stable operation and optimal performance.

Recommendations

For sustained high-throughput workloads, distribute I/O across multiple NVMe devices and enable proper cooling and airflow in the rack. Use enterprise-grade NVMe drives and maintain up-to-date firmware. Monitor power and thermal metrics and consider redundant power configurations to increase uptime in production environments.
