The ASUS RS720Q-E11-RS8U is a 4-node, 2U high-density rack server built for organizations that need to pack serious compute into a tight footprint. Each of the four independent nodes supports dual-socket configurations, making this a legitimate option for data centers, managed service providers, and anyone who needs to consolidate workloads without buying four separate boxes.
Each node supports Intel Xeon Scalable (4th Gen) processors and up to 2TB of DDR5 Registered ECC memory per node — 16 DIMM slots per node running at 4800MHz. On the storage side, every node has two NVMe-capable U.2 bays plus dual M.2 slots, so you can run fast NVMe SSDs across all four nodes simultaneously. Storage is handled by an integrated Broadcom SAS3008 controller with RAID 0 and 1 support. Networking is built in: every node includes 2x onboard 10GbE RJ45 ports (Intel X550-AT2) — no add-in NIC needed to get 10G connectivity out of the box.
This is a workhorse platform that thrives in environments like:
- High-density virtualization — run independent hypervisors across all four nodes in a single 2U slot
- Edge and colocation deployments where space and power are both at a premium
- HPC and rendering clusters that need parallel compute nodes in minimal rack space
- Cloud service providers and hosters building out multi-tenant infrastructure
- Database and analytics workloads that benefit from per-node memory isolation
The system ships with two 3000W 80 Plus Titanium redundant power supplies shared across all four nodes — that's real efficiency headroom. Each node has its own independent PCIe expansion slots, so you can add custom networking per node. ASUS ASMB out-of-band management is available for remote access, and the platform supports all the standard IPMI-based tools you'd expect for lights-out management. Rack rails are included.
Every unit is fully tested before it ships and configured to your exact specs — processors, memory, and drives are all installed and verified. You're not getting a mystery box; you're getting a system that's ready to rack.
