Additionally, it supports one OCP 2.0 Mezzanine card (Gen3 x16 link) for HPC applications that require high-bandwidth, low-latency network support to connect multiple nodes and clusters.

Exclusive Performance Boost technology

ASUS servers feature exclusive Performance Boost technology to achieve the best server performance and agility by tuning servers to match the requirements of workloads, letting you gain greater control of your server environment. This technology improves workload throughput by maximizing processor frequency and boost power, ideal for time-sensitive applications such as financial services or data center operations. In the BIOS you can choose from pre-configured server profiles optimized for specific workloads, maximizing overall performance and reducing server-configuration time.

Core Optimizer

Maximizes the processor frequency in multi-core operations, avoiding frequency shifting for reduced latency

Engine Boost

Automatic power acceleration with an innovative voltage design to increase server overall performance

Workload Presets

Preconfigured BIOS server profiles based on workloads and benchmarks for improved performance and efficiency

Exclusive Thermal Radar technology for energy efficiency

RS720-E9-RS12-E features ASUS-exclusive Thermal Radar technology with ambient sensors placed in CPU, memory, NVMe, SSD, OCP mezzanine connector for internal and external temperature monitoring, and dynamic fan-curve adjustment, which lowers fan power consumption by up to 20% and reduces total cost of ownership — ideal for data centers with extreme workloads.

Redundant Titanium PSU support

850W 80 Plus Titanium power supplies with 96%+ efficiency directly reduce operating costs and capital expenses.

Comprehensive IT infrastructure management

RS720-E9-RS12-E features an embedded iKVM module and is bundled with ASUS Control Center to provide comprehensive out-of-band and in-band management features for small and mid-size businesses.

The embedded ASMB9-iKVM module supports remote BIOS updates, fan control, standalone KVMs, video recording, and BSOD capture, providing around-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnostics — even if the operating system is down or offline — through a user-friendly, web-based graphical interface that works with all major browsers.

ASUS Control Center (ACC) is a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage. ACC enables remote BIOS updates, monitoring of multiple systems via mobile devices, and one-click software updates and dispatching, allowing easier server management for any IT infrastructure.
