Friday, October 19th, 2012

We are currently evaluating an ASUS Server with two Intel E5-2670 CPUs and with several advantages compared to  other servers designed for hybrid computing on the market:

  • more PCI-E lanes with PCI-E Gen 3 support
  • nine PCI-E Gen3 x16 expansion slots
  • eight hot-swappable 3.5” SATA HDD cages
  • onboard FDR IB
  • with 7 fans this board improves heat-dispersion.
  • The optional Web GUI ASMB6-iKVM module offers a rich choice of sensor measurements
