The new ThinkSystem V4 portfolio powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors offers 4.5x better rack density.

Bengaluru, June 10, 2024 – Lenovo announced the Lenovo ThinkSystem V4 portfolio of Intel-based solutions, powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors that are designed to make AI accessible while flexibly matching the specific workload needs of any business. The portfolio includes new AI-enabled solutions that ensure the right mix of AI is available to help customers seamlessly integrate AI into their workflows. It also features new servers that are purpose-built and optimised to maximise performance and efficiency for targeted workloads.

Additionally, new AI-powered Lenovo Systems Management solutions now use Generative AI to automate and simplify deployment and configuration across increasingly distributed computing networks. Together, the next generation ThinkSystem V4 portfolio unlocks enterprise-specific data, supporting operational decision-making, improving management efficiency, and boosting productivity while protecting information.

Sumir Bhatia, President of Lenovo ISG AP, stated, "Lenovo and Intel have a long history of innovation, transforming data centers with hybrid cloud and edge technologies. We're excited to launch the Lenovo ThinkSystem V4 with Intel, designed to make AI accessible, equitable, and inclusive at every stage of development and application. This next-gen infrastructure embodies our vision of 'Smarter AI for All,' offering unmatched performance and accessibility to help businesses leverage hybrid AI infrastructure and maximise data value."

"AI adoption in India is accelerating, with 95% of CIOs recognising its competitive edge. Lenovo is committed to meeting this demand by offering purpose-built AI solutions to customers. Our new Think System portfolio embodies this commitment and is engineered to help Indian businesses harness AI to analyse data, make informed decisions, and enhance efficiency and productivity, while safeguarding critical information. Given its transformative potential, aligning AI with business objectives is more crucial than ever for India's Techade success and achieving tangible national value," said Amit Luthra, MD – India, Lenovo ISG.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem V4 portfolio is making the path to AI more accessible for every business with advanced performance, efficiency and management capabilities. As part of the portfolio, Lenovo introduced the new ThinkSystem servers optimised for rack density and massive transactional data, maximising processing performance in the data center space for enterprises, CSPs, high-performance compute and telcos. Leveraging Lenovo purpose-built engineering and the Intel Xeon processors, the ThinkSystem V4 portfolio provide over 4x more cores per rack, with an increased performance of 4.3x.1

The new Lenovo ThinkSystem SD520 V4 server provides extreme rack density and efficiency, with up to 225% more cores2 in a 2U chassis for ultra-dense processing capabilities and up to 3.18 times more throughput3 for an increased number of web transactions. With three times more storage than the previous version, the platform delivers more memory bandwidth that is ideal for compute-intensive transactional workloads to deliver faster insights in online banking, e-retail, and CSPs.

Additionally, the new Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4 reimagines power for cloud-scale, Telco 5G Core and ecommerce workloads, maximising performance per rack with up to 42% faster media transcoding.4 Leveraging the server, customers can reduce costs by streamlining management processes, reducing downtime, and optimising resource utilisation. Featuring Intel’s innovative E-Core that reduces power consumption while maximising performance for Telco Core applications, the SR630 V4 is engineered with enhanced performance and workload optimisation that offers up to two times application bandwidth improvement5 facilitated by PCIe 5 IO and DDR5 memory.
