Lenovo Introduces New Server Platforms For Advanced Analytics & AI Workloads

Lenovo Data Center Group (DCG) announced the launch of the ThinkSystem SR645 and SR665 two-socket servers for higher performance workloads.

Many industries, such as financial services, retail, and manufacturing need faster transaction processing, improved data analytics, and greater grid-computing capacity, while still improving efficiency and total cost of ownership (TCO).

To address these needs, Lenovo is focusing on infrastructure solutions comprising servers, storage, and software. With the addition of the new ThinkSystem SR645 and SR665 servers featuring more CPU cores and a larger memory footprint, Lenovo can help enterprise users accelerate higher performance workloads.

This announcement follows the release of the ThinkSystem SR635 and SR655 single-socket servers and expands Lenovo’s server portfolio powered by AMD EPYC 7002 Series processors.

“Our new Lenovo ThinkSystem servers are designed for workloads such as in-memory databases, advanced analytics, virtualization, and AI”, said Kamran Amini, Vice President and General Manager of Server, Storage and Software Defined Infrastructure, Lenovo Data Center Group. “With the exceptional power, speed and onboard storage of these new servers, our customers have the ability to handle the increasing data requirements of today’s workloads with the scalability to grow with their business.”

In high performance computing (HPC) environments like scientific research, higher throughput means faster results, yielding earlier discoveries. The high core counts allow customers to buy fewer servers, saving them rack space and power, in addition to obtaining results faster.

“The new Lenovo ThinkSystem two-socket servers tap into the power of our 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors to make a meaningful impact in the areas where performance, space and efficiency are critical to business outcomes,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, server business unit, AMD. “With the expansion of its AMD EPYC-based product line, Lenovo customers now have more options for systems that address today’s demanding enterprise workloads.”
