ASUS ESC8000A-E12-26W10G 4U 2-Way Rack Mountable Server

The ASUS ESC8000A-E12-26W10G is a 4U rack mount server chassis built for organizations that need large numbers of GPUs alongside quick network links. It pairs PCIe 5.0 bandwidth with two AMD EPYC 9004 processor sockets, allowing teams to scale compute capacity without redesigning the rack.

Each LGA6096 socket can host an EPYC chip with up to 64 cores, and the motherboard offers 24 DDR5 slots that accept as much as 6 TB of registered memory. Eight PCIe 5.0 x16 lanes accommodate double-width GPUs or accelerator cards, a layout that suits AI model training, real-time rendering, and other compute-intensive tasks where several GPUs working in parallel shorten project timelines.

For storage, eight 3.5-inch drive bays sit behind a hot-swap backplane that uses SATA 6 Gb/s connections. Administrators can add or replace drives in seconds without taking workloads offline. An internal M.2 22110 slot lets you install an NVMe drive for a fast operating system image, and an OCP 3.0 mezzanine port accepts advanced network adapters when more than the integrated dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are required.

The chassis ships as a barebone platform, so you choose the processors, memory, and drives that match your workflow. ASUS Control Center Enterprise simplifies deployment and ongoing maintenance by offering browser-based monitoring, firmware updates, and alerting. A 2+2 redundant power design with four 2600 W platinum-rated supplies protects the system from unexpected downtime during critical jobs.

Whether you manage a GPU-backed AI cluster, a visual-effects render farm, or a research lab that crunches terabytes of data every day, this server brings the capacity, flexibility, and remote management features you need, all within a standard 4U footprint.
