The ASUS S14NA-U12 leverages the impressive performance and streamlined platform componentry of EPYC 8004 processors using the new SP6 socket, enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to offer cost-effective, business-relevant server configurations. The adherence to industry standards in platform management, coupled with top-tier security features and energy efficiency of the EPYC 8004-series processors, significantly reduces operational costs compared to power-hungry, non-standard alternatives. Customers can expect best-in-class total cost of ownership (TCO) across numerous deployments with systems based on AMD EPYC 8004 processors.

The S14NA-U12 provides ultra-high-speed network connectivity, with each SFP28 25-gigabit Ethernet connection offering up to 25 Gbps bandwidth, vastly outperforming traditional gigabit Ethernet. This speed enhances data-traffic handling, thereby improving application performance. Additionally, it ensures reliability through teaming support, where multiple network interface cards (NICs) combine for enhanced redundancy, minimizing service interruptions. The server's low-latency SFP28 technology is crucial for real-time applications like high-frequency trading and video conferencing.

The S14NA-U12 also boasts five MCIO slots, with MICO5 supporting both NVMe and SATA devices  . This design offers versatile storage options, allowing users to choose between NVMe and SATA drives to meet a variety of storage needs. Additionally, it ensures high performance with support for NVMe drives, making it ideal for data-intensive applications like databases and high-performance computing.

S14NA-U12’s scalability is another standout feature, as it can accommodate up to 10 NVMe drives — providing ample storage capacity that can readily expand to meet the growing demands of data-intensive operations. Up to two dual-slot GPUs are also supported.
