Lenovo’s expanded portfolio combines AMD-powered servers, storage, liquid cooling and deployment services, alongside Digital Realty colocation access, to help organisations build and operate infrastructure for increasingly demanding AI and high-performance computing workloads across hybrid environments.
Lenovo has announced new ThinkSystem servers, storage systems and expanded Hybrid AI services to support the convergence of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC). The portfolio is designed for organisations deploying complex workloads across their own data centres, hybrid environments and colocation facilities.
The expansion includes servers powered by 6th Generation AMD EPYC 9006 SP7 processors, Lenovo Neptune liquid cooling, storage and interconnect options, and services for enterprise and gigawatt-scale AI factories.
“AI and high-performance computing are converging around a simple customer need: the ability to turn increasingly complex workloads into real outcomes,” said Scott Patti, Vice President, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Lenovo. “That means getting more useful performance from every watt, overcoming growing power and cooling constraints, and moving faster from infrastructure deployment to operational AI. Lenovo is bringing together high-performance infrastructure, Neptune™ liquid cooling and expanded services to help customers do exactly that at scale.”
New servers target compute and cooling requirements
The ThinkSystem SC755 is a dual-socket, Neptune liquid-cooled server designed to remove up to 100% of system heat through water cooling. Lenovo said it can deliver up to 40% higher sustained performance than similar air-cooled systems. Its Dynamic Partitioning capability supports switching between dual-socket and single-socket configurations to allocate compute resources across workloads.
The ThinkSystem SR755 targets large-scale virtualisation, engineering, financial modelling, electronic design automation and agentic AI infrastructure. Lenovo said the system is designed to provide high compute density and memory bandwidth, with lower power consumption and improved economics compared with dual-socket configurations.
The company also announced ThinkSystem DE6800 and DE6500 storage systems for high-throughput, latency-sensitive block workloads. The DE6800 targets applications requiring high throughput and reliable storage, while the DE6500 focuses on performance with simplified deployment and management.
Validation of the Cornelis CN5000 fabric adds an interconnect option intended to reduce data movement bottlenecks in AI and HPC environments.
“As AI and HPC workloads converge, organizations need infrastructure that delivers exceptional compute performance, energy efficiency and flexibility at scale,” said Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Compute and Enterprise AI, AMD. “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.”
Expanded services cover deployment and optimisation
Lenovo’s expanded Hybrid AI Factory Services include GPU deployment, configuration and optimisation capabilities to help customers establish and scale AI environments.
New multi-node support across Red Hat AI Enterprise and NVIDIA AI Enterprise with NVIDIA Run:ai is intended to provide more operating environment options for deploying, governing and scaling workloads, including agentic AI and physical AI.
For larger installations, Lenovo is expanding its gigafactory services with NVIDIA Infrastructure Services expertise for specialised deployment and cluster validation. The services span planning and construction through deployment and optimisation.
Digital Realty access adds colocation options
Lenovo can now facilitate access to Digital Realty’s global colocation network for organisations requiring additional data centre capacity. Customers can also use the Digital Realty Innovation Lab to validate AI infrastructure, applications and workload requirements.
Lenovo said it will provide a single point of contact for customers seeking colocation space, alongside scalable infrastructure, modular services and financing through Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure as a Service.
The company also cited existing customer deployments. According to Lenovo, the University of Florida’s fourth-generation HiPerGator, built on Lenovo, NVIDIA and AMD technology, delivers 17.49 petaflops and processed 33 million research requests over the past year. Lenovo said DreamWorks Animation uses Neptune liquid-cooled servers to achieve 20% greater performance and faster rendering.
