Asus announces e9 and p6 series

ASUS has announced its new ASUS E9 and P10S generations of servers and server boards compatible with Intel Skylake Xeon E3-1200 v5 processors. With high-performance I / O, support for ASUS PIKE II SAS 12 Gbit / s expansion cards, up to quad-LAN networking technology for high bandwidth and advanced virtualization, and extensive support for expansion cards, the E9 and P10S series are an ideal solution for applications such as datacenters , enterprise and cloud-computing .

Based on the new Intel C230 “Greenlow” chipset, E9 servers and P10S boards incorporate Digi + VRM power technology with a new DRAM memory controller, 12K solid capacitors and Beat Thermal Chokes III coils; Features battery resulting in 95% VR energy efficiency.

With two M.2 NVM Express ™ (NVMe) sockets, up to 32 Gbit / s and support for SATA RAID configurations, the new series of ASUS motherboards and servers provide superior storage flexibility.

ASUS P10S: Motherboards for any type of server, from basic applications to high performance environments

With models that fit a wide range of applications and budgets, the ASUS P10S series of server motherboards has been created to deliver leading energy efficiency in any application and environment.

The P10S-E / 4L, P10S-C / 4L and P10S-V / 4L models feature quad-LAN technology, which provides networks with up to 4 Gbit / s bandwidth, reducing bottlenecks and maximizing fault tolerance. With 4 independent Ethernet sockets, these boards offer enormous failover capacity and multiple redundancy. To enhance compatibility with all types of applications, the P10S-E / 4L, P10S-C / 4L, P10S-V / 4L and P10S-X include both PCI Express® (PCIe®) and PCI slots.

P10S-M-DC is designed to offer extreme energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for data centers . Working at full load, the renowned ASUS Digi + VRM power design offers 95% efficiency and reduces energy consumption by up to 33.5%, minimizing cooling requirements and resulting in significant savings. This board also incorporates two M.2 sockets for data redundancy and extreme performance. By configuring two storage drives in RAID 0, the read speed increases up to 80% and the write speed 40% compared to configurations with a single drive. For operating system drives where redundancy is required, the two M.2 ports allow RAID 1 configurations to be established.

P10S-M is a micro-ATX (mATX) model with expandable I / O support. Based on the Intel C232 chipset, it includes Intel Ethernet networks, 6 SATA 6 Gbit / s connectors and 4 PCI Express 3.0 slots for expansion. The mATX format (9.6 x 9.6 inches) allows it to be installed in shallow chassis and thus increase the calculation density.

P10S-I is the new ASUS server board with mITX format. It has a new design that optimizes the location of memory modules for rack configurations, 6 SATA ports and compatibility for PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 storage devices.

ASUS E9: Very efficient servers with great expansion potential, ideal for data centers

ASUS E9 servers provide high efficiency and expansion, making them an ideal investment for highly demanding datacenter environments and applications that require simplified scalability.

RS300-E9 is the top-of-the-range 1U model. It provides versatile expansion potential, two expansion slots, Intel quad-LAN technology with up to 4 Gbit / s bandwidth, and support for ASUS PIKE II SAS 12 Gbit / s option cards.

RS200-E9-PS2-F offers durability, easy access for maintenance and hardware upgrades, and front access to main I / O. This design is ideal for datacenter and rack cabinets with hot and cold separation aisles. It features a design that provides easy access I / O on the rear panel.

With just 26 dB of noise, the RS100-E9-PI2 offers Zen peace of mind. It features ASUS Magic Capacity configuration, offering various options for installing the system unit, two M.2 slots compatible with two 2280 (80mm) units 512 GB, and USB and SATA DOM (Disk-on-module). There is the possibility of configuring it with two 3.5 ”bays or one 3.5” and two 2.5 ”bays.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Pokémon Go updates to add Ditto

TS100-E9-PI4 is the ideal choice for offices and small businesses. Offering the same level of silence as the RS100-E9-PI2, it mounts two PCIe 3.0 slots (one x16 and one x8), 4 PCI slots, and one ASUS MIO, compatible with the ASUS MIO professional audio card.

Improved remote administration: ASMB8 2.0 out-of-band and ASWM Enterprise in-band

Optional ASMB8-iKVM (IPMI 2.0 standard) module for E9 servers and P10S boards, allows remote BIOS update, backup and recovery of configurations, offers support for SNMP agent (MIB files), event auditing and POST codes BIOS. Based on out-of-band management, the KVM module allows continuous monitoring through a graphical interface compatible with the main browsers even if the OS is not operational.

In parallel, ASWM Enterprise software enables multiple centralized management including flash BIOS, software submission, task scheduling, remote control, and power control through a highly intuitive interface. These remote management solutions help save time and energy when diagnosing and solving problems.

Leading efficiency: A supercomputer with ASUS components tops the Green500 list

ASUS servers are recognized for their leadership in efficiency. Last November 2014, a supercomputer with ASUS components ranked first out of the prestigious Green500, a list highlighting the world's most energy efficient supercomputers.

Its price will range between 200 euros depending on the model and configuration.
