Intel strongly supports letter dimension International to build efficient data center

With the continuous maturation of server technology, DIY server has become the first choice for many data centers, compared to brand servers, DIY server not only Low-cost, at the same time, users can also be based on their own practical needs, according to the needs of their own actual needs to build products to meet the needs of the use of the same time Given the high stability requirements of the server, Intel platforms remain the preferred choice for most customers for now. Domestic well-known server accessories suppliers, letter-dimensional international enterprise customers launched by the ASUS Dual Server board Z8NR-D12 plus the combination of the Intel Xeon processor, the ASUS Motherboard and Xeon processor advantages of the perfect combination, is the best platform for data center applications.

ASUS Z8NR-D12 Server Board is an ASUS high performance product for Intel Xeon 5500, with innovative front "parallel-balance" CPU and memory cooling solutions for high density computing and data center applications. Since the listing has been the data center as a representative of many high-density computing users affirmation. The motherboard features an SSI EEB board that supports ASUS unique technologies such as pike cards, flex-e and EPU, and performs well in computing performance and energy efficiency, and is the best choice for building a rack-top server.

Asus Z8NR-D12 uses the Intel® 5500 and ICH10R chipset, with two LGA 1366 slots, which can support dual core Intel QPi 5500 and 5600 series processors with 4.8/5.86/6.4gt/s Nehalem. For energy-efficient data center users, the letter-dimensional engineers recommend the use of the Xeon 5620 processor, the Intel dual-channel system launched by the High-performance processor, the product employs a leading 32nm process, and has four computing core, Frequency and cache respectively reached 2.4G and 12M, data processing capacity is excellent, and energy-saving design outstanding, with ASUS exclusive EPU energy-saving engine, the performance of the overall energy consumption in similar products ahead, fully meet the needs of data center users.

In memory, ASUS Z8NR-D12 motherboards support DDR3 800/1066/1333 Reg dimm/unbuffered DIMM with ECC memory, onboard up to 12 memory slots, support three-channel mode, up to 96GB (RDIMM) or 48GB ( UDIMM) memory to meet the high bandwidth requirements of the latest software and applications, especially for data center users, large-capacity memory and high bandwidth can significantly improve the access and response speed of data center users, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

Data storage and protection is one of the basic functions of data center, and for data center, excellent data storage and data protection is an important factor to attract users. In this regard, ASUS Z8NR-D12 provides 6 SATA II interfaces, supports Intel matrix storage technology, supports software RAID 0, 1 & 5, (Windows System Environment), and for Linux users, the motherboard provides Lsi®megaraid, The technology supports both Linux and Windows systems, and the support software model has RAID 0, 1, 10.

For users with high storage requirements, a single ASUS Pike SAS RAID card is required to achieve 4 or 8 SAS interfaces, resulting in better data transmission speed and security, and is very affordable and practical. The motherboard also contains the Aspeed AST2050 display core, supporting the basic graphics output, the user does not need to purchase additional display cards, further reducing the cost of construction.

Network performance is the lifeline for the data center, and once the network becomes problematic, it often affects hundreds of thousands of users. ASUS Z8NR-D12 onboard 2 Intel 82574L Gigabit Network interface, support load balancing and port redundancy, the other end can immediately replace the corresponding work, to ensure the stability and security of information flow.

Server Management and Maintenance, ASUS Z8NR-D12 Support ASWM2.0, users can use the IPMI2.0 Specification ASMB4-IKVM Remote Management module, the hardware assets management, and with the help of the ASWM2.0 Web browser full monitoring of the operation of the server, fully reduce the server deployment and day-to-day management of the difficulty of maintenance, to create an easy user environment.

Also, it is worth mentioning that the motherboard board contains a vertical USB interface designed for VMware ESXi, a fully compatible VMware virtual solution that facilitates user virtualization applications.

Given the rising cost of energy, data centers are increasingly focusing on computing density and energy efficiency performance in hardware procurement and upgrades. The Asus Z8NR-D12, combined with the Intel Xeon 5620 processor, not only meets the needs of users in terms of computing performance and density, but also enables users to save energy costs, control expenditures and enhance profitability by leveraging leading processor architectures and EPU technologies.
