  NVIDIA RTX server

  ESC4000A-E11 is a NVIDIA RTX server validate system that deliver unprecedented performance at a fraction of the cost, space, and power requirements of traditional CPU-based solutions, from production rendering to scalable visualization systems or HPC, AI, ML, big data analytics, and at the edge deployment options.

  Ultrafast connectivity for HPC applications

  ESC4000A-E11 features a OCP 3.0 NIC card to deliver speeds of up to 200 Gbps for HPC applications that require high-bandwidth, low-latency network support for connecting multiple nodes and clusters.

  Scalable storage design

  To effectively manage the storage demands of growing amounts of data, ESC4000A-E11 has a dense chassis design that accommodates up to eight 3.5-inch or 2.5- inch drives, including up to four NVMe SSDs support. One onboard 22110-length M.2 SSD allows faster data transfer speeds for OS installation, and a hyper M.2 card is available to provide even greater expansion capability.

  Enhanced Security

  ASUS ESC4000A-E11 servers integrate PFR FPGA as the platform Root-of-Trust solution for firmware resiliency to prevent from hackers from gaining access to infrastructure. ASUS security solutions are fully compliant with the 2018 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800 193 specification.
  
  In addition, all ESC4000A-E11 servers also include support Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) to secure hardware through integrated cryptographic keys and offer regular firmware update for vulnerabilities.
