Lenovo ThinkSystem ST550
Enterprise capacity and performance in a
2P/4U tower
Enterprise Enabled, ROBO Ready
The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST550 is a scalable 4U tower server that
features powerful Intel
provides the performance and reliability you expect from the data
center, but optimized for office environments, with physical security
and whisper-quiet operation. Its compact footprint uses 37 percent
less space than its predecessor*, making it ideal for under-desk,
deskside, or rack-mount use. ST550 is ideal for email/file/print and
web serving, IT infrastructure, virtualization, VDI, and private cloud.
®
Xeon® processor Scalable family CPUs. It
Compact, Secure, Flexible
ST550 supports up to 96.4TB of internal storage capacity, and
Lenovo AnyBay technology enables the mixing and matching of
storage types (U.2/SAS/SATA) in the same bays. Up to 6x PCIe
adapter slots and multiple hardware and software RAID options offer
the flexibility you need for NICs, GPUs, and other adapters.
Physical and software security technologies, including lockable
security bezel, Kensington lock slot, chassis intrusion switch, and
TPM 1.2/2.0, are ideal for remote locations without the protection of a
data center. ST550 also offers money-saving features, such as highly
energy-efficient 80 PLUS Platinum and Titanium hot-swap PSUs,
continuous operation up to 45°C, and easy centralized management
via XClarity software.
High-Performance, Reliable, Manageable
ST550 features more processor cores, memory, and I/O bandwidth
than previous generations. It also provides more memory channels;
12Gb SAS interconnects; and support for HDD, SSD, NVMe, and
M.2 drives; as well as high-performance GPUs—all at a lower price
than previous generations.
Faster processors and memory, more cores, and support for NVMe
and M.2 drives contribute to significantly better performance than the
previous generation*. In addition, optional NVMe drives provide ultrafast storage that can be tiered for greater application performance.
Combining enterprise-class RAS features and shared components
across the server portfolio increases reliability, promotes greater
peace of mind, and reduces TCO.
XClarity Controller is the management hardware engine inside
every ThinkSystem server, and XClarity Administrator centralizes
management of your ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile infrastructure. With
Redfish APIs and XClarity integrators you can easily integrate the
Lenovo infrastructure into higher-level IT applications.
