Press release, July 18; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES Asia

In order to meet the demands of providing high performance and flexible business options, Asustek Computer has launched its latest TS500-E5 tower server, a solution for businesses that require mission critical applications.

The TS500-E5 can support up to four hard drives by default, but the company has added an optional hard disk expansion kit to allow the server to support up to eight.

The TS500-E5 adopts two 45nm processors to deliver high performance and power manageability and up to 24GB DDR2 memory, Asustek said, and with the optional SAS upgrade kit, PIKE, the TS500-E5 is able to support a range of RAID functions.

A TS500-E5/RX8 model also supports dual 650W power supplies for redundant functionality.
