High-density GPU server with hybrid computing power

ESC8000 G4/10G features a powerful GPU architecture that supports up to eight high-performance NVIDIA® Quadro® or Tesla® GPU cards in a 4U chassis. With so much graphics power, ESC8000 G4/10G lets you accomplish demanding computing tasks more quickly and with greater efficiency. An optimized internal layout enables ESC8000 G4/10G to fit a wide variety of graphics cards – including dual-slot GPUs – with active or passive thermal modules.

Patented Adaptable Topology design

ESC8000 G4/10G provides flexible system topology configuration options, including the ability to choose a single or dual root complex, making it ideal for deep learning requirements. The patented Adaptive Topology design enables users to switch the system topology easily via the intuitive web-based GUI of the ASUS ASMB9-iKVM server management solution, without changing any hardware configurations or cable routing.

Scalable design for growing workloads

ESC8000 G4/10G is designed for easy scalability to fit growing businesses and workloads. With eight PCIe Gen3 x16 slots that fit full-height, full-length GPU cards, two PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for high-speed networking cards, and one internal PCIe Gen3 x8 slot for an HBA/RAID card, ESC8000 G4/10G is ready to deliver high-density, parallel computing power.

It also features multiple interface types for flexible storage configurations, including dual PCIe or SATA M.2, and port-to-port dual OCuLink with Intel VROC technology for two hot-swappable 2.5″ NVMe SSDs. ESC8000 G4/10G also fits up to eight 2.5″ SATA 6Gbp/s HDDs or eight 2.5″ SAS 12Gbp/s HDDs with an optional HBA card.

Dual onboard 10G LAN

Featuring dual onboard 10G LAN ports backed by the cutting-edge Intel X550AT2 10GBASE-T Ethernet controller, ESC8000 G4/10G provides stable connectivity that supports high-density, high-bandwidth and low-latency access-layer networks. With data-rates up to 10Gbps, ESC8000 G4/10G is able to transfer 4K videos and other large files in a fraction of the time required by conventional networking gear. The onboard controller negates the need to allocate a PCI Express slot to a dedicated network card, saving valuable space for other components.

Comprehensive IT Infrastructure Management Solution

ESC8000 G4/10G features an embedded ASMB9-iKVM module and is bundled with ASUS Control Center software to provide comprehensive in-band and out-of-band management.

Efficient cooling with hot-swappable redundant fans and dedicated air tunnels

Cooling an accelerator server handling extreme workloads at up to 3200 Watts of power consumption is a demanding task, so ESC8000 G4/10G is equipped with hot-swappable, redundant fans and dedicated air tunnels for the CPU, GPUs and DIMMs. Ten fans for the GPUs – five primary and five back-up fans – plus two coolers for the CPU ensure nonstop cooling performance for nonstop server operation.
