Server ASUS RS720-E12-RS24G 3,2 kW 24N – Rackserver met 3,2 kW voeding en 24 drive-bays

The ASUS RS720-E12-RS24G 3.2KW 24N is a rack-mounted server engineered for data center and enterprise environments where high-density storage and reliable power delivery are required. The unit supports 24 drive bays in a 2U chassis and includes a 3.2 kW redundant-capable power subsystem designed to sustain continuous operation under mixed virtualization, file, backup and compute workloads. Its architecture emphasizes scalable storage capacity, serviceability in rack deployments and consistent power headroom for drive-heavy configurations.

Advantages

This rack server combines a high-capacity drive bay layout with substantial PSU output to support dense storage arrays and heavy I/O workloads. The 24-bay design reduces the number of separate enclosures needed for large datasets while the robust power supply provides stable voltage and current for multi-drive, multi-controller configurations. The chassis is optimized for rack serviceability, cooling airflow and component access, which helps reduce maintenance time in colocated or on-premises installations.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts running multiple VMs and containers
• File servers and NAS-like storage appliances
• Backup and archiving systems with high-density disk requirements
• Database and analytics nodes requiring fast local storage
• Hyperconverged infrastructure and software-defined storage appliances

Key specifications

• Form factor: 2U rack-mount chassis with 24 front-access drive bays
• Power: 3.2 kW power capability designed for continuous server operation
• Drive support: 24 hot-swap drive bays for high-density storage configurations
• Cooling: front-to-rear airflow design optimized for rack cooling systems
• Serviceability: tool-less or accessible drive caddies and hot-swap power/cooling modules
• Expansion: internal bays and slots for additional controllers, RAID cards or NVMe adapters depending on configuration

How to use

Install the ASUS RS720-E12-RS24G 3.2KW 24N into a standard 19-inch server rack using the included mounting rails, ensuring adequate rack power distribution and cooling capacity. Populate drive bays with compatible hot-swap drives and configure RAID or software-defined storage according to your redundancy and performance requirements. Connect network uplinks, management ports and any storage controllers before powering on. Monitor power and thermal metrics through the server management interface and integrate the unit into your virtualization, backup or storage management systems as required.

Recommendations

Place the server in a rack location with rated power distribution and sufficient airflow; ensure the rack’s PDUs and cooling capacity match the 3.2 kW power profile. Use enterprise-grade drives and configure redundancy (RAID or erasure coding) appropriate to the workload. Regularly monitor PSU and drive health through integrated management tools and schedule hot-swap procedures to avoid service interruption.
