Lenovo AI HPC Servers With AMD EPYC Processors Debut

Lenovo Targets Growing AI Infrastructure Demand

Lenovo has announced a comprehensive portfolio of servers, storage systems, and services designed for AI infrastructure and high-performance computing workloads, addressing the accelerating demand for systems that support AI inference, agentic AI, and scientific discovery. The new offerings center around Lenovo AI HPC servers powered by AMD EPYC processors, specifically the 6th Generation EPYC 9006 SP7 processors, alongside advanced cooling solutions and expanded service capabilities.1

Scott Patti, Vice President of Infrastructure Solutions Group at Lenovo, emphasized that organizations need to improve performance per watt, address power and cooling constraints, and reduce deployment time from infrastructure setup to operational AI. The convergence of AI and high-performance computing revolves around turning increasingly complex workloads into tangible outcomes.2

Liquid-Cooled Servers Deliver Enhanced Performance

The flagship ThinkSystem SC755 represents a significant advancement in liquid-cooled servers, utilizing Neptune liquid cooling technology to remove up to 100% of system heat through water cooling. This dual-socket system delivers up to 40% higher sustained performance compared to similar air-cooled systems, directly addressing cooling efficiency challenges that organizations face with intensive workloads.1

A distinctive feature of the ThinkSystem SC755 is Lenovo Dynamic Partitioning, which allows customers to convert two dual-socket systems into single-socket configurations and back again, depending on workload requirements. This flexibility enables more efficient allocation of compute resources across varying demands.2

ThinkSystem SR755 Targets Enterprise Workloads

The ThinkSystem SR755 is engineered for high compute density and memory bandwidth, targeting workloads such as large-scale virtualization, engineering, financial modeling, electronic design automation, and agentic AI infrastructure. The system is designed to deliver lower power consumption and better economics for demanding workloads compared to dual-socket configurations, making it particularly suited for organizations running continuous inference and agentic execution tasks.1

High-Throughput Storage Systems Address Data Movement

Lenovo unveiled new AI HPC servers alongside high-throughput storage systems to address data movement bottlenecks. The DE6800 and DE6500 storage systems are optimized for latency-sensitive block workloads. The DE6800 targets applications requiring high-throughput storage with reliable performance, while the DE6500 focuses on delivering economical high performance with simplified deployment and management.2

The company has also validated the Cornelis CN5000 fabric as a high-performance interconnect option for demanding AI and HPC environments, helping reduce bottlenecks across increasingly data-intensive workloads.1

AMD Partnership Strengthens Computing Capabilities

Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Compute and Enterprise AI at AMD, stated that the new Lenovo ThinkSystem platforms powered by 6th Gen AMD EPYC Server CPUs help customers accelerate demanding workloads from engineering and scientific research to AI inferencing and agentic AI, while building a more efficient, scalable foundation for continued innovation.2

Hybrid AI Factory Services Expand Deployment Capabilities

Lenovo is expanding its Hybrid AI Factory services to help organizations deploy and manage AI infrastructure more effectively. The new services include GPU deployment, configuration, and optimization capabilities, with multi-node support for Red Hat AI Enterprise and NVIDIA AI Enterprise with NVIDIA Run. This expansion gives customers greater flexibility to build operating environments that meet their specific needs and simplifies the deployment, governance, and scaling of emerging workloads, including agentic AI and physical AI.1

For large-scale deployments, Lenovo is expanding its services for gigafactory environments, incorporating NVIDIA Infrastructure Services expertise for specialized deployment and cluster validation. These services cover the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from planning and construction to deployment and optimization.2

Strategic Partnership With Digital Realty

Lenovo has partnered with Digital Realty to facilitate access to its global network of colocation facilities. Customers can utilize Digital Realty's Innovation Lab to validate AI infrastructure, applications, and workload requirements before deployment. Lenovo will provide a single point of contact for colocation requirements, alongside infrastructure services and financing options through its TruScale infrastructure-as-a-service offering, streamlining the path from infrastructure deployment to operational capacity.1
