NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage

Four 3.5 inch hot swap drive bays on front panel and one M.2 onboard

Direct GPU-to-GPU Interconnect

The four A100 GPUs on the HGX baseboard of ESC N4A-E11 are directly connected through third-generation NVLink, enabling all GPUs to work as one on large AI models, with high-bandwidth communication for efficient scaling. The A100-to-A100 peer bandwidth is up to 200 GB/s bi-directional, for speeds that are up to 2X faster than a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus.

AMD EPYC 7003 Processors

Built for AI supercomputing, ESC N4A-E11 features a single-socket AMD EPYC 7003-series processor offering the highest performance for AI and HPC workloads and supports a TDP of 280 W and extensive memory capacity of 16 DIMM slots populated with 8-channel DDR4-3200 memory per processor.

NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage

Featuring four 3.5-inch hot swap drive bays supporting up to two NVMe SSDs on front panel and one M.2 onboard that enables extensive storage and high-throughput performance. ESC N4A-E11 supports GPUDirect Storage to provide a direct path between storage and GPU memory, avoiding extra copies through a bounce buffer in the CPU’s memory.

Titanium Power Supply

ESC N4A-E11 supports 3000 W 80 Plus Titanium redundant power supplies which are 96%+ efficient, directly reducing operating costs and offering easier servicing. The 1+1 power-supply design allows the server to keep working even if one power supply requires maintenance, enabling uninterrupted operation.

Enhanced Security

ASUS ESC N4A-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 ESC N4A-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.

ASUS ASMB10-iKVM

ASUS ASMB10-iKVM is the latest server-management solution from ASUS, built upon the ASPEED 2600 chipset running on the latest AMI MegaRAC SP-X. The module provides various interfaces to enable out-of-band server management through WebGUI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and Redfish® API.
