The new ASMB server motherboards are designed for various industrial applications and offer ready-to-use solutions that accelerate installation, simplify management, and enhance virtualization for easier cloud computing. These server motherboards are also ideal for compute-intensive image processing and virtual desktop (VDI) applications thanks to support for up to four GPUs. Improved performance and expanded memory: The Advantech ASMB series offers server motherboards equipped with dual (DP) or single (UP) processors and various form factors, including ATX, EATX, and proprietary versions, covering diverse applications such as compute-intensive image processing or virtual desktop infrastructures that require multiple GPUs. In addition to increased performance, this latest generation of ASMB server motherboards offers a significant improvement in memory capacity. Specifically, these motherboards support DDR4 RDIMM (Registered DIMM) and LRDIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) to provide a total memory capacity of up to 1.5 TB in select ASMB models. and they have a PCI expansion slot that supports legacy I/O cards such as image capture or motion control cards to enable vertical applications.
Advantech's ASMB server motherboards are equipped with smart innovations that enhance the efficiency and robustness of system storage. First, the entire ASMB series features Intel® VMD (Volume Management Device) technology, supporting NVMe SSD RAID and hot-swapping. The introduction of Intel® Virtual RAID in CPU software (VROC) allows for NVMe RAID status to be displayed via an LED indicator for convenient monitoring and management. Advantech's ASMB server motherboards also support installing the operating system on an M.2 SATA device to accelerate system boot times. And for critical applications requiring operating system redundancy, select ASMB motherboards offer dual M.2 SATA device support for operating system mirroring.
Due to the current trend toward cloud computing, having sufficient network bandwidth has become critical for enabling large data transfers between edge devices and cloud servers. For this reason, Advantech's server ASMB boards support 10G Base-T Ethernet, offering data transmission speeds up to 10 times faster than previous Base-T generations.
Advantech's ASMB series of server motherboards offers a wide range of designs, from ATX to EATX, with varying memory capacity, storage interfaces, and I/O expansion slots. The flexibility of these products allows for system configuration tailored to specific applications or usage requirements.
