Lenovo announced three new infrastructure
solutions, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, designed to modernize and
elevate data centers of any size to AI-enabled powerhouses. The
solutions include next generation Lenovo ThinkSystem V4 servers that
deliver breakthrough performance and exceptional versatility to handle
any workload while enabling powerful AI capabilities in compact,
high-density designs. Whether deploying at the edge, co-locating or
leveraging a hybrid cloud, Lenovo is delivering the right mix of
solutions that seamlessly unlock intelligence and bring AI wherever it
is needed.
The
new Lenovo ThinkSystem servers are purpose-built to run the widest
range of workloads, including the most compute intensive - from
algorithmic trading to web serving, astrophysics to email, and CRM to
CAE. Organizations can streamline management and boost productivity with
the new systems, achieving up to 6.1x higher compute performance than
previous generation CPUs with Intel Xeon 6 with P-cores and up to 2x the memory bandwidth when using new MRDIMM technology, to scale and accelerate AI everywhere.
The
systems are also engineered to help overcome critical power constraints
while delivering more performance to enable compute-intensive AI.
Through continued Lenovo Neptune liquid-cooling innovation, Lenovo is
unlocking a new era of more efficient data center design that redefines
power use for IT. Lenovo Neptune water cooling boosts thermal
efficiency by 3.5x, which reduces power consumption used for cooling IT
equipment while increasing its processing power.
With increased density and efficiency, new Lenovo ThinkSystem V4
servers with Intel Xeon 6 with E-Cores enable up to 3:1 rack
consolidation of 5-year-old infrastructure, freeing up space and power
for new AI projects.
"Lenovo
is reimagining what's possible in the data center by delivering
intelligent and versatile infrastructure solutions that simplify and
accelerate IT modernization," said Scott Tease, Vice President of Lenovo
Infrastructure Solutions Group, Products. "The new Lenovo ThinkSystem
V4 servers represent the next generation of performance and innovation,
achieving higher compute with less energy consumption and delivering
AI-powered management that empowers businesses with fast and protected
AI deployment across any environment. With Intel, we're enabling our
customers to scale smarter and evolve faster to achieve AI-powered
transformation."
Flexibility and Performance without Compromise
With
more cores, memory bandwidth, and AI acceleration in every core, Lenovo
ThinkSystem V4 servers with Intel Xeon 6 with P-cores deliver
exceptional performance and efficiency for tackling the biggest
challenges in AI across the widest range of compute-intensive workloads.
The servers are also purpose-built for reliability and adaptability
across diverse environments, such as colocation services, which are
critical for organizations that want to implement high-performance,
private AI but lack the datacenter footprint or infrastructure for
liquid cooling. Enhanced physical and system security features also
ensure data is better protected, no matter where it sits, including a
new locking bezel option that protects physical assets in remote
environments. The new Lenovo ThinkSystem V4 servers include:
- SR630 V4: data
center powerhouse that is high-density, space-efficient, and designed
to optimize performance in compact environments while delivering
exceptional computing power and unparalleled scalability for demanding
workloads. The super dense 1U system is ideal for cloud service
providers (CSPs), telcos and fintech operations, enabling them to manage
real-time transactions requiring low latency and high throughout
performance with limited floor space.
- SR650 V4: delivers
maximum versatility for any workload with up to 25% more software GPU
capacity for up to 2x computation performance in a compact 2U form
factor.
It is ideal for engineering, modeling & simulation and AI with
rapid time to value at up to 50% cost savings for GPU-intensive
workloads6.
- SR650a V4:
purpose-built to deliver AI power in a dense package that enables
GPU-intensive workloads like machine learning, virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI), and media analytics. The 2U2S platform supports up
to four double-wide GPUs with front GPU access, ensuring unmatched
performance and ease of maintenance without compromising memory
capacity. This server is ideal for organizations looking to drive AI
innovation in a dense, efficient form factor.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem V4 solutions also extend Lenovo Neptune liquid cooling from the CPU to the memory with the new Neptune Core Compute Complex Module,
supporting faster workloads with reduced fan speeds, quieter operation
and lower power consumption. Fans can consume as much as 18% of the
power used by servers. The new Neptune module is specifically engineered
to reduce air flow requirements, yielding lower fan speeds and power
consumption while also keeping the parts cooler for improved system
health and lifespan. The module also expands cooling to four SW GPUs in
the new ThinkSystem SR650a.
AI-Powered Management for Smarter AI Everywhere
Businesses
can confidently deploy complex AI applications with integrated Lenovo
systems management that saves valuable time and resources across the
ThinkSystem V4 portfolio. Serving as a central command, XClarity One
provides an intuitive user interface that ensures fast, efficient, and
protected deployment from one system to a thousand. New integrated
Enterprise Remote Control enables remote access and management of
enterprise infrastructure no matter where it exists. Additionally, new
AI-powered analytics offer Server SSD Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA)
on XClarity One, helping to eliminate downtime by identifying potential
problems with DIMMs before they fail. Finally, XClarity One now offers a
Federated Directory that centrally manages system access across
multiple applications through a unified registry and account.
Lenovo
continues to push the boundaries of innovation with powerful, flexible,
and responsible AI solutions that bring the new era of AI-powered
innovation to everyone. From edge computing to large-scale data
centers, Lenovo's technology empowers organizations to unlock new
possibilities, drive intelligent transformation, and stay ahead in an
AI-driven world.
