Advantech’s IIoT Automation Group is pleased to announce the launch of the ASR-3100, the world’s first 1U rackmount dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 16 x NVMe SSD Storage Server. The ASR-3100 is equipped with DDR4-2133 RDIMM up to 512GB with a maximum of 16 2.5” hot-plug NVMe SSD, delivering uncompromised high computing performance. The incredible high IOPS (Input / Output Operations Per Second) performance of 16 NVMe SSD can achieve up to six million IOPS read speeds, which is at least 30% better than existing products on the market. The ASR-3100 is designed to fulfill markets like cache/hot data, VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), advanced data mining, OLTP (Online Transaction Processing)/OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) for finance and eCommerce, 3D rendering, video broadcasting and massive media editing/post production.

The ASR-3100 is equipped with SFF-8639 interface so the drive bays could be interchangeable among 2.5” NVMe, PCIe, SAS and SATA, fulfilling different applications. The ASR-3100 uses an 1100W 1+1 redundant power supply of 80 PLUS platinum level and incorporates the latest thermal design to excel the remarkable performance aiming at cache/hot data processing. With high density NVMe storage, it’s best to increase the performance in one system and save the TCO of whole flash storage setup. It aims for applications like OLTP/SQL/NoSQL, HPC, SAPHARA and EMR.

The ASR-3100 features 2 x PCIe x8 Gen 3 slot expandability and two internal SATA M.2 slots for easy OS mirroring. It is also specially designed with IPMI LSI Raid management function for system network reliability. User-friendly system LED indicators, including 1 x PWR On, PWR Fail, 2 x LAN, 16 x HDD PWR & Status (2nd row HDD read from front LED panel), 1 x system ID, together with easy access to front and rear I/O (front: 1 x USB 2.0 and rear: 1 x COM, 1 x VGA, 2 x LAN, 4 x USB 3.0) are built for management and maintenance. The ASR-3100 combines high performance with a reliable work ethic— without downtime.
