ASUS introduced four Z8 series server motherboards at CeBIT: the Z8NA-D6, Z8NR-D12, Z8PE-D12X and Z8PE-D18.
The ASUS Z8 Series of server motherboards can cater to the most demanding tasks and upgrades in the future. Providing an ideal foundation for powerful and reliable performance, the Z8 Series includes features like: the ASUS Flex-E Technology that automatically transforms the motherboard into a dual-use serverboard for the advantages of both server and workstation modes; the optional ASUS PIKE that delivers flexible storage options and direct SAS RAID upgrades—without sacrificing expansion capability; and an optional ASMB4-iKVM upgrade kit that enables remote real-time full control access to the system by keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM over Ethernet) from any local computer anywhere, anytime. Furthermore, the Z8 Series utilizes all Japan-made ultra long life conductive polymer capacitors (sustainable for 57 years at 65°C) for improved durability, lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity; while the ASUS EPU technology delivers system-wide power efficiency.
