Energy Saving Innovation
ESG ProductRemote PC Array

RPA120In a 2U server form factor, RPA120 is a centralized array of workstations, offering up to
10 swappable computing nodes ( cartridges ). Users can then connect remotely to get
desktops with high-end workstation performance, and enterprises can fulfill thehigh-density, high-performance deployment demands of Graphics workstations, andget benefits of security, convenience, environmental protection, and energy-saving.
Each cartridge in RPA120 is equipped with the independent CPU, RAM, SSD Storage,and GPU.
In contrast to VDI ( Virtual Desktop Infrastructure ) with centralized resources
allocation, this innovative design, with individual computing nodes, can operate withoutcompromises in performance, satisfy the need of professional applications, solve
performance issues in a complicated VDI, save the subscription fee of virtualization
software, reduce the deployment and setup time, lower the TCO, to achieve
enterprises' goals of efficiency, power-saving, and carbon reduction.

One Device. 7 Features on Hand
What makes RPA120 different are individual computing nodes in a centralized andease-of-management array.
It satisfies the needs of security and diversity in a single device, offering platforms for
onsite or remote office applications, professional drawing, software development,
video playback, etc.

Key Features of RPA120 Are :Security
RPA120 offers up to 10 cartridge-type computing nodes. Each cartridge can do its own
tasks without competition of resources from others, just like a stand-alone workstation
PC. To get Desktops ready for end users to connect remotely, IT administrators justneed to deploy operating systems, install desired applications, and set up networks.
Computing and results stored are all in the remote RPA120, so you don't need to worry
that valuable data will be leaked out. Data are all well protected.

Convenience
Cartridges are hot-swappable.
When in need of replacement or expansion ( upgrade ) , you canremove and insert cartridges while the chassis and other cartridges
are in operation.
In addition, there is no hassles in network cabling due to the network
ports of every cartriges are connected to the built-in Ethernet switch.

Performance
RPA120 contains 10 cartridge bays housing for 5 to 10 cartridges.*
Each cartridge is equipped with a PCIe extension slot for Graphics card ( GPU ) , which
can be used without compromises to achieve the computing level of high-end

2Graphics workstation.
Additionally, no hypervisor platform ( for example, VMware vSphere® or Citrix
Hypervisor™ ) is required to allocate resources. You can eliminate the performanceissues of vCPU, competition of resources among VMs, complicated configuration ofvGPU, and save the high software licensing fee.
* RPA120 supports standard cartridges ( with a standard GPU ) or advanced cartridges ( with ahigh-end GPU ) , occupying one or two cartridge bays respectively. So, RPA120 can be equipped with10 standard or 5 advanced cartridges.

MaintenanceThrough KVM buttons on RPA120 locally or Remote KVM feature on Management
Console remotely, IT administrators can monitor system health, install applications, or
update firmware with ease.
You can maintain specific cartridges while others are in operation. You can even
update chassis firmware without any cartridge downtime.

Scalability
RPA120 can be deployed for various applications and can be easily scaled up whenneeded. all you need is to add more RPA120 systems to get more computing nodes
and capacity. After scale-up, you don't need to take time and effort reallocating
resources as you do for your traditional servers.

Space Saving
RPA120 houses up to 10 cartridges in a 2U chassis. To get access to Desktops, users
create remote connections via thin clients. Comparing to traditional configuration of 10
physical desktops, this solution gets more rooms for comfortable working space andreduce substantial materials ( e.g. chassis, etc. ).
In addition, locating all computing nodes in one place would help check and manage
effectively.

Energy Saving
RPA120 comes with the design of power redundancy,
using two hot-swappable 2000W power supplies andpowering up to 10 cartridges.
With the help of GPU on a cartridge, even professionals
Energy Saving
can connect remotely to use Graphics demanding
applications, such as art creating, video editing, engineeringdrawing etc., just with thin clients or normal computers.
All the power you need in total is only 48% of a traditional configuration ofworkstations. It's power-saving and eco-friendly !
