Lenovo renews ThinkSystem lineup for AI workloads and more

SR650a V4: a 2U2S design specifically meant for high-end use, such as AI and other GPU-intensive workloads like machine learning, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and media analytics. The platform supports up to four double-wide GPUs with front GPU access. Of the three servers, this is the one most geared toward AI.

The ThinkSystem V4 solutions use Lenovo’s homegrown Neptune liquid cooling technology. A new feature called Neptune Core Compute Complex Module offers reduced fan speeds, quieter operation and lower power consumption. The module supports the cooling of CPUs and memory as well as cooling the four GPUs in the SR650a. 

The ThinkSystem V4 lineup is complemented by XClarity One, a centralized management and deployment console capable of scaling from one system to 1,000. New integrated Enterprise Remote Control enables remote access and management of enterprise infrastructure no matter where it exists. A new AI-powered analytics tool offers Server SSD Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) to catch potential storage drive failure before it happens.

The ThinkSystem V4 family ships March 17.
