Lenovo launches three new AI inference servers and associated solutions and services that help companies apply trained AI models in real time, both in the data center and at the edge.
Lenovo is expanding its portfolio with three new servers focused on AI inferencing in a variety of sectors. The ThinkSystem SR675i, SR650i and ThinkEdge SE455i are designed to deploy trained AI models in real time, both in the data center and at the edge of the network. The manufacturer is announcing the new products at its own Tech World event on the sidelines of CES in Las Vegas.
Inference in data center on location
Lenovo introduces the ThinkSystem SR675i as its most powerful AI inferencing server. This model supports full Large Language Models (LLM’s) and is suitable for complex applications in healthcare, the financial sector and the manufacturing industry, among others. Blackwell chips from Nvidia drive the inference.
The ThinkSystem SR650i is aimed at organizations that want to integrate AI inference into existing data centers, with higher GPU density and scalability.
