Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650
High-performance scalable server
For Compute-Intensive Workloads
For medium to large enterprises, and managed and cloud service
providers, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 is the optimum 2U, two-socket
server—the most widely used server type worldwide. It’s engineered
to deliver high performance with 205W CPUs, low-latency NVMe
drives, and high-power GPUs.
With Lenovo’s history of reliability, the highly flexible and
configurable SR650 is the ideal platform for hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI) or software-defined storage (SDS). It provides a
solid foundation for: 1) transforming physical resources into services,
using validated designs for hybrid cloud; 2) performing analytics
on streaming data, using validated designs for Big Data; and
3) increasing productivity of virtualized transactional systems,
using validated designs for OLTP databases.
Versatile and Scalable
ThinkSystem SR650 incorporates up to two powerful Intel® Xeon®
processor Scalable family CPUs, with 27 percent more cores and
twice the memory capacity of the previous generation server*. It supports two 300W high-performance GPUs and ML2 NIC adapters with
shared management. Unique Lenovo AnyBay technology provides the
flexibility to mix-and-match SAS/SATA HDDs/SSDs and NVMe SSDs
in the same drive bays. Four direct-connect NVMe ports on the
motherboard provide ultra-fast read/writes with NVMe drives and
reduce costs by eliminating PCIe switch adapters. Plus, storage can
be tiered for greater application performance, to provide the most
cost-effective solution. Optional mirrored M.2 drives ensure reliability
and quick OS initialization. SR650 also features 80 PLUS Platinum
and Titanium PSUs, as well as continuous operation at 45°C, to
reduce energy costs.
Easily Managed
Lenovo XClarity Controller is an all-new hardware embedded
management engine common in every ThinkSystem server. XClarity
Controller features an uncluttered graphical user interface, industry
standard Redfish-compliant REST APIs, and enables booting in half
the time of prior generation servers, with up to 6x faster firmware
updates.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a virtualized application that
centrally manages ThinkSystem servers, storage, and networking. Via
reusable patterns and policies, it ramps up and scales infrastructure
provisioning and maintenance. It serves as a central integration point
to extend your data center management processes to physical IT.
Running XClarity Integrators in external IT applications, or integrating
through REST APIs, helps you further speed services provisioning,
streamline IT management, and contain costs.
