ASUS RS720-E11-RS12U Intel C741 Rack (2U) Black, Steel

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The ASUS RS720-E11 is a pretty classic “get a dependable 2U box without paying for the flash” purchase. For a UK reseller customer, the big question is less the chassis name and more whether you’re buying into a platform that’s likely to behave well under steady workloads—file/print, VDI light-to-medium, small hypervisor clusters, or backend apps where reliability and serviceability matter. At **£3314.88 ex-VAT**, it’s not the cheapest way to get cores on the floor, so I’d only call it good value if you need a rack form factor you can rack-and-forget, and you’re confident the configuration (and expected performance) matches your real needs.

I’d **recommend it** to buyers who want an enterprise-leaning 2U server from a mainstream manufacturer and value supportability over squeezing every last pound per compute unit—especially if you’re deploying a small number of systems and don’t want to gamble on boutique hardware. I’d be **wary if** you’re price-comparing purely on raw processing and planning elastic growth, because mid-range 2U servers around this money often leave some headroom pay-walled behind add-ons or require careful planning to avoid expensive “we should’ve spec’d that earlier” moments. If you tell me your intended workloads and whether this is a single server or part of a stack, I can say more clearly whether it’s a sensible buy or an overpay.
