Need a technical consultation on choosing a server?
Submit a requestASUS ESC N8A-E12 10NVMe is a high-density 7U enterprise GPU server storage configuration with ten 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays optimized for NVMe storage. It is designed for AI factories, research centers, cloud providers, and enterprise data centers that need fast local storage for large-scale AI training, inference, and HPC workloads.
Key features:
-
Storage basket and service access: The configuration provides ten 2.5-inch hot-swap positions: eight NVMe bays plus two bays supporting NVMe, SATA or SAS when the required controller is installed. Front-accessible hot-swap serviceability helps reduce planned maintenance time.
-
Installed accelerator subsystem: The installed accelerator subsystem contains 8 NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB (HGX H100) accelerators with 640GB (8 x 80GB) of aggregate GPU memory. The configuration is sized for sustained enterprise workloads rather than a general-purpose display role.
-
High-bandwidth data path: The GPU fabric uses Fourth-generation NVIDIA NVLink with NVSwitch; 900 GB/s per GPU. Storage, GPU and network paths are arranged to support high-throughput data movement and minimize avoidable I/O bottlenecks.
-
Enterprise compute platform: The compute subsystem is configured as follows: CPU: 2 x AMD EPYC 9004; memory: 6,144GB DDR5; slots: 24 DDR5 DIMM. This provides CPU, memory and PCIe resources for feeding the accelerator complex and hosting production services.
-
Management and availability: ASUS ASMB11-iKVM, ASUS Control Center and 4+2 or 3+3 x 3000W 80 PLUS Titanium redundant power supplies support remote administration, planned component replacement and resilient operation in the data center.
Use cases:
-
AI model training and fine-tuning: Uses the installed NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB (HGX H100) subsystem for deep learning, generative AI and large-model development.
-
Inference and production AI services: Provides GPU memory and parallel compute for LLM, multimodal and enterprise inference workloads.
-
HPC, simulation and analytics: Accelerates scientific computing, numerical simulation, data science and other parallel workloads supported by the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB (HGX H100).
-
Data-intensive pipelines: Combines 10-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap storage with high-bandwidth GPU and network paths for datasets, checkpoints, staging and local scratch storage.
ASUS ESC N8A-E12 10NVMe is a purpose-built 7U GPU platform for organizations that need 10-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap storage, 640GB (8 x 80GB) of installed GPU memory and enterprise-class management in one deployable system.
