New ASUS RS and TS Series Servers

• New ASUS RS and TS Series Servers

ASUS introduced the new RS and TS Series Servers, namely the RS300-E7, RS100-E7, TS300-E7 and TS100-E7 servers on the 11th April 2011. All these new RS and TS Series Servers uses the next generation Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge CPUs, which allows excellent and quick performance, great expandability, may upgrade options as well as an improved energy efficiency.

These new RS and TS Series Servers (RS300-E7, RS100-E7, TS300-E7 and TS100-E7 servers) that are being used by ASUS allow a server-class networking, with easy remote management and an excellent data protection and these are ideal for data entry and customers who want a complete feature set, effortless operation and a better-quality cost-to-performance.

The Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge CPUs that the new and TS Series Servers (RS300-E7, RS100-E7, TS300-E7 and TS100-E7 servers) used are either dual or quad core. They are used the new Intel® technologies which provide various boost in performance in many ways. The TS300-E7 and RS300-E7 servers use the quad hardware-accelerated Intel® Gigabit LAN which provides an extraordinary boost in increase bandwidth, when compared to the previous dual LAN servers.

The TS Series Servers (RS300-E7, RS100-E7, TS300-E7 and TS100-E7 servers) use fault tolerance technology and handle huge traffic precisely. Network performance is greatly improved as the IPv6 readiness resolves the upcoming IPv4 address assignment issues.

With the ASUS Flex-E Technology, the TS300-E7 server allows users to use the product, interchanging it as either a workstation and/or a server. Users can switch from a single PCI-E x16 link (this is usually better for graphics cards) to 2 PCI-E x8 links (this is more suited for an I/O expansion). Using SAS as storage (instead of SATA), the new ASUS RS and TS Series Servers has the optional ASUS PIKE kits which include a slim-profile, flexible storage options via SAS RAID, maximizing I/O performance and data protection. In the same way, the optional ASMB5-iKVM upgrade kit allows users to use keyboard, video and mouse (KVM for Ethernet) for remote system access.

Additionally, the ASUS RS and TS Series Servers use 80+ power supplies, which diminish power loss and consumption, resulting in a lower power bill. They all comply with the EU´s Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and are designed while respecting the Energy Star requirements. This helps in protecting our environment.

The new the ASUS RS and TS Series Servers have a built-in virtualization support that allows the use of VMWare® ESXi, and reduces power consumption, cooling and space requirements and at the same time, allow users to experience the max of virtualization.
