Sustainability

Keep your data center green

Data centers can consume huge amounts of electricity, raising environmental concerns. ASUS servers are designed to optimize both total cost of ownership (TCO) and total cost to the environment (TCE), including thermal design, power efficiency and advanced cooling solutions — reducing the impact of our products on the planet.

Optimized Thermal Design

Independent CPU and GPU airflow tunnels

Our servers features a streamlined design with dedicated CPU and GPU airflow tunnels for seriously efficient heat dissipation. This advanced design provides better cooling for both the GPU and CPU, enabling heat to be expelled into the surrounding ambient air for greater energy efficiency and overall savings on system power.

2+2 Power Supplies

Up to 96% efficient for reduced operating costs

ESC8000-E11P supports up to four 3000 W 80 PLUS® Titanium redundant power supplies to reduce operating costs and enable easier servicing. When four power supplies are installed, the configuration can be set to redundant with 2+2 or 2+1 models. This ensures power is supplied to the system equally from all power supplies to maximize efficiency, enabling uninterrupted operation.
