Lenovo ships all-AMD AI systems

The systems are specifically tuned for the financial industry. For example, the ThinkSystem SR685a V3 is designed to help financial services with fraud detection and prevention and KYC (know your customer) initiatives. The system is also built for applications supporting algorithmic trading strategies, risk management (such as real-time transaction monitoring), credit issuance, wealth management and advisory services, streamlining and augmenting regulatory compliance, and forecasting, according to Lenovo.

The ThinkAgile MX455 V3 Edge Premier Solution is designed for remote use cases like retail, manufacturing, and healthcare. The Lenovo Open Cloud Automation (LOC-A) is designed for “near zero-touch” provisioning for fast deployment, centralized support, cloud-based fleet management and continuous testing and automated software updates, validated by Microsoft and Lenovo.

Lenovo and AMD also introduced a multi-node server designed for intensive transaction processing. The Lenovo ThinkSystem SD535 V3 is a 1S/1U half-width server node powered by a single 4th generation AMD EPYC processor and is engineered to maximize processing power for intense workloads. It starts with one node that can be expanded to up to four nodes within one chassis. Through custom cooling and power management, AMD claims a reduction in power consumption of up to 30% compared to standard 1U rack servers.
