With the explosive growth of Generative AI, the demand for computing power in data centers is rising at an unprecedented rate. However, immense processing power often comes with high energy consumption and significant thermal challenges. As a leader in the AI supercomputing domain, ASUS places "Sustainability" at the core of its product design philosophy. Through cutting-edge Green Computing innovations, ASUS assists enterprises in pursuing innovation while achieving ESG carbon reduction goals and optimizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Intelligent Hardware Architecture: Precision Power Control with ASUS Thermal Radar 2.0

In data center operating costs, energy loss from cooling systems often accounts for a massive proportion. ASUS RS700 series utilizes ASUS Thermal Radar 2.0 technology to fundamentally optimize energy efficiency from the hardware level.

• Comprehensive Sensing Matrix: To ensure precise thermal management, ASUS RS700 series features sensors are strategically embedded across the front panel, CPU, NVMe SSD, OCP Mezz Card, PSU, and memory. Featuring up to 56 ambient sensors on selected models, the system provides real-time monitoring of heat distribution across all critical components.

• Dynamic Fan Optimization: Based on real-time feedback from this sensor network, ASUS RS700 series intelligently adjusts fan speeds. By avoiding unnecessary power waste, this technology effectively reduces power consumption by up to 36%.

• Tangible Economic Benefits: With ASUS RS700 series, the optimization provided by Thermal Radar 2.0 can save approximately $29,000 annually in electricity costs for a large-scale cluster of 1,000 nodes, significantly lowering the TCO for enterprise operations.

Dynamic Performance Engine: Active Energy Tuning with ASUS Power Balancer

In the pursuit of raw computing power, CPUs often consume excessive energy during periods where peak output isn't required. ASUS RS720A series utilizes ASUS Power Balancer(note1) active tuning technology to ensure every watt is converted into actual productivity.

• Real-Time Load Detection: ASUS RS720A series continuously monitors CPU loading and feeds data back to the management interface, ensuring precise oversight of system demands and operational accuracy.

• Automatic Frequency Scaling: Based on current utilization, ASUS RS720A series dynamically adjusts CPU frequencies. Especially in multi-core applications with 40% to 90% loading, it eliminates power waste while maintaining high performance scores.

• Tangible Economic Benefits: Enabling Power Balancer on ASUS RS720A series significantly refines power distribution. For a large-scale cluster of 1,000 nodes, this optimization saves approximately $115,000 annually in electricity costs, effectively streamlining the enterprise Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Software-Defined Sustainability: The ESG Strategic Value of ASUS Control Center Data Center Edition

While hardware defines the ceiling of energy efficiency, software determines the transparency of operations. ASUS extends its commitment to sustainability to the management layer through the ASUS Control Center (ACC) Data Center Edition, providing enterprises with a powerful digital toolset.

• Unified Management Platform: ACC Data Center Edition offers an intuitive interface that allows administrators to monitor the status of all global equipment from a single pane of glass, dramatically increasing maintenance efficiency.

• Automated Carbon Emission Tracking: The platform features built-in automated energy monitoring that tracks and analyzes carbon footprint data in real-time. This not only makes energy consumption transparent but also provides the scientific precision needed for enterprises to meet critical ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets.

• Enhanced Security and Compliance: While implementing green management, the platform also features robust security designs, ensuring that core digital assets remain secure and controlled throughout the enterprise's sustainable transition.

An Innovative Pathway Balancing Performance and Responsibility

In the competitive formula of modern enterprise, raw computing power is no longer the sole metric. Energy efficiency and sustainability have become the keys to long-term success. Through the precision control of Thermal Radar 2.0, ASUS Power Balancer and the intelligent management of ACC Data Center Edition, ASUS has paved a "green path" from hardware to software.

Choosing ASUS is more than just choosing powerful computing performance—it is choosing a sustainable solution that helps your business lead in the digital race while remaining responsible to the planet.
