Lenovo has announced AMD-powered ThinkSystem servers, storage and AI factory services for enterprises that run converging AI and high-performance computing workloads.

The ThinkSystem SC755 dual-socket server uses Neptune liquid cooling to remove up to 100 percent of system heat through water. In its internal testing, the SC755 sustained up to 40 percent higher performance than comparable air-cooled systems.

Lenovo Dynamic Partitioning lets customers convert two dual-socket systems into single-socket ones and back again, which helps them reassign compute between workloads.

The ThinkSystem SR755 targets virtualisation, financial modelling and chip design workloads, and is designed to use less power than dual-socket configurations.

Two storage arrays join the lineup. The ThinkSystem DE6800 suits high-throughput applications that depend on reliable storage, while the DE6500 delivers economical high performance with simpler deployment and management.

Enterprises are looking to get more performance out of limited power and cooling capacity.

“That means getting more useful performance from every watt, overcoming growing power and cooling constraints, and moving faster from infrastructure deployment to operational AI,” said Scott Patti, Vice President of Infrastructure Solutions Group at Lenovo.

The servers run on 6th Generation AMD EPYC 9006 SP7 processors. “As AI and HPC workloads converge, organizations need infrastructure that delivers exceptional compute performance, energy efficiency and flexibility at scale,” said Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Compute and Enterprise AI at AMD.

The launch follows Lenovo AI Express, announced with NVIDIA in September. It offers validated Hybrid AI Factory configurations with 15 business day order-to-ship times for eligible setups.

Lenovo’s Asia-Pacific sales reached US$4.8 billion in its first fiscal quarter, up 28 percent.

Customers that lack data centre space can now reach Digital Realty’s colocation sites through Lenovo as a single point of contact. They can validate AI infrastructure in the Digital Realty Innovation Lab and use flexible financing through Lenovo TruScale.
