Blog | Four Reasons You Should Consider ASUS EPYC 7003 Powered Servers

ASUS has introduced their comprehensive server portfolio based on the latest AMD EPYC 7003 series processors. This will feature their new single and dual socket servers in 1U and 2U form factors with new architecture and modular design to improve systems flexibility and scalability. In addition to driving high performance and improved TCO, they feature PCIe 4.0, OCP 3.0 and BMC technologies

Four Reasons You Should Consider ASUS EPYC 7003 Powered Servers

1. ASUS CPU-Based Architecture

The new ASUS EPYC 7003 powered servers integrate a CPU-balanced design that enables efficiency, security and optimisation in CPU performance. The architecture allows for extension in the full bandwidth for both single and dual CPU configurations, improving the overall power efficiency and compute capabilities for compute-intensive workloads.

3. Scalable Storage Solutions

The ASUS servers provide data centre flexibility and maximum performance through the flexibility of NVMe drives in the front panel, this enables extensive storage and high throughput performance in the server.
