Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 Server
ThinkSystem SR650 powered by Intel® Xeon® Processors
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 is a dual-socket 2U rackmount server that supports the Intel® Xeon® family of processors. Designed to tackle big data centre workloads such as databases, big data and analytics virtualization, VDI, HCI, HPC and AI solutions.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 up to 2 second-generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum processors, and a TDP ratings up to 205W. With support for the new Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory.
With a wide choice of storage storage configurations the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 servers provides support for high capacity HDDs to lightning-quick NVMe drives to maximize both data capacity and throughput performance.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 provides the expandability, networking scalability, and speed necessary to ensure that I/O intensive workloads such as software defined networking, and grid computing do not encounter bottlenecks that reduce full enterprise efficiency.
Versatile and Scalable
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650's versatility 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.
