Lenovo Unveils Next Generation of Intel-Based Smart Infrastructure Solutions to Accelerate IT Modernization - Seite 2

Solutions, like the new ThinkSystem SR850 V3, deliver the high performance, reliability and versatility needed to tackle high-intensity workloads in a dense, 4-socket 2U design, enabling businesses to quickly respond to expansion needs such as increased data management across manufacturing, healthcare and financial service applications. The server features predictive failure analysis, light path diagnostics and embedded tamper detection to avoid application failures and downtime for more secure data center operation.

Greater performance, less power consumption with new Neptune systems

Cooled by fifth generation Lenovo Neptune Direct Water- Cooling technology, Lenovo’s new ThinkSystem SD650 V3 and SD650-I V3 servers extend Neptune efficiency to a new generation of systems that enable customers to reduce power consumption up to 40 percent while still achieving maximum performance.

“bp is excited to be an early experience site for Intel’s 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processor with Lenovo. With support for faster, next-generation DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 and Compute Express Link (CXL) 1.1, our new cluster will enable scientists to shorten their time to discovery. This technology will underpin our research efforts supporting bp’s net zero future,” said Elizabeth L’Heureux, head of HPC, bp.

Over the last decade, Lenovo has extended liquid cooling beyond CPUs and memory to PCIe, storage, and GPUs and more. The new systems leverage Neptune cooling for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) on select models, providing HPC applications up to four times more memory bandwidth and delivering up to 2.8 times generational performance improvement. HPC users will now have the latest generation Intel Xeon Max Series CPUs with HBM and Intel Data Center Max Series GPUs, all cooled by Lenovo Neptune to efficiently run the most demanding modeling and simulation workloads.

HPC workloads utilize system resources at much higher levels, over longer periods of time than other workloads. Lowering a supercomputer’s power usage without sacrificing performance comes with many benefits. Every watt of electricity consumed is converted into heat which must be removed from the system. In air-cooled systems, heat is removed by system fans, requiring even more power. With Neptune, liquid removes the heat, negating the need for power-consuming fans. This allows HPC users to attain greater performance while reducing the energy consumed and the environmental impact of the data center.
