ASUS RS720-E11-RS12U-26WG 2U Server | Intel C741, 8x 3.5/2.5 NVMe

Deliver more work per rack unit with an ASUS 2U server platform built on Intel C741. The RS720-E11-RS12U-26WG is designed for environments that need a balanced mix of compute density and storage flexibility, with 8 front drive bays that accept 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch NVMe configurations. That gives infrastructure teams room to tune the system for capacity, latency, or a mix of both. The 2U form factor is a practical choice when you want stronger density than a 4U storage box, but more expansion headroom and serviceability than a 1U node. Intel C741 positions the platform for modern server deployments that need a stable foundation for virtualization, application hosting, or storage-heavy services. The drive bay layout supports deployment planning across mixed media strategies, which can help standardize around fewer server SKUs. For procurement teams, this model sits in the tier where chassis flexibility and platform class matter. For architects, it offers a rack-friendly base for workloads that need more than entry-level hardware. It is the kind of server you choose when uptime, service access, and storage configuration options justify the investment.
