Enhanced data center performance and AI workloads
Lenovo announced on the 4th a new ThinkSystem V4 server equipped with Intel Xeon 6 processors.
Lenovo announced that the ThinkSystem V4 server supports ▲enhanced AI functions through high-density design ▲expanded memory bandwidth ▲efficient power use. In particular, it said that by applying the Intel Xeon 6 P-Core processor, it provides up to 6.1 times improved computing performance compared to the previous generation, and that the memory bandwidth has doubled by introducing MRDIMM technology.
Neptune liquid cooling technology has been applied to improve the energy efficiency of data centers. It is designed to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance by improving thermal efficiency by 3.5 times compared to existing cooling methods. Additionally, the ThinkSystem V4 server is equipped with the Intel Xeon 6 E-Core processor, enabling rack consolidation up to 3:1 compared to existing infrastructure.
“Lenovo is delivering intelligent infrastructure solutions that support data center modernization,” said Scott Tees, vice president and general manager of products for Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG). “Our new ThinkSystem V4 servers help enterprises quickly and safely adopt AI with AI-driven management capabilities and improved energy efficiency.”
The ThinkSystem V4 server is designed to perform in a variety of IT infrastructures, including colocation, hybrid cloud, and edge environments. It is optimized for use by companies with limited data center space, and physical security features have been enhanced with the addition of a new locking bezel option.
The new product line includes the SR630 V4, SR650 V4, and SR650a V4. The SR630 V4 is a 1U ultra-high-density server that supports low latency and high throughput tasks in cloud services, fintech, and telecommunications.
The SR650 V4 is a flexible 2U server optimized for engineering, AI analytics, and simulation, and offers up to 25% more software GPU capacity than its predecessor. The SR650a V4 is a GPU-specific server for machine learning and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, supporting up to four double-wide GPUs.
Lenovo has introduced AI-based systems management capabilities to its ThinkSystem V4 portfolio. The central management platform, ‘XClarity One’, enables efficient operation of everything from single systems to large-scale infrastructures.
It also provides enterprise remote control capabilities to manage servers regardless of location, and AI-based predictive analysis capabilities to proactively detect SSD and DIMM module failures to minimize downtime.
Lenovo announced plans to collaborate with Intel to support enterprises' adoption of AI and data center optimization.
