Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted the IT industry in the past couple of years. With companies heavily investing in AI technologies and infrastructure, there is a high demand for advanced AI servers. According to IDC, revenue from AI server sales is projected to reach $49.1 billion by 2027, largely due to the growing adoption of GPU-accelerated servers for AI applications.

Lenovo offers 80 cutting-edge server platforms that are certified AI-ready for GenAI and the broad spectrum, including the impressive Lenovo ThinkSystem SR780a V3 rack server. As a trusted partner of the Lenovo 360 framework, it’s essential to grasp how this powerhouse server revolutionizes AI workloads.

Powerful, Liquid-Cooled, AI & HPC Server

At the core of the ThinkSystem SR780a V3 lies a robust architecture crafted to meet the massive computational demands of modern AI applications. Equipped with eight Nvidia H100/H200/B200 Tensor Core GPUs, paired with two 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, and 32 DDR5 DIMM sockets, this server is a true workhorse in the AI space.

Data centers are challenged to provide high-performance results within a limited energy threshold. Lenovo designed the ThinkSystem SR780a V3 with energy thresholds in mind. The innovative Lenovo Neptune™ liquid cooling system enables the server to run eight of the latest high-power GPUs with higher sustained performance over longer periods of time. Liquid cooling removes heat more efficiently than traditional air cooling, requires less space than conventional fans, and allows the GPUs and CPUs to run in accelerated mode for longer periods of time.

The ThinkSystem SR780a V3’s design is engineered for peak performance and scalability. Housed in a 5U chassis, this server offers unparalleled GPU-accelerated computing power, making it an ideal choice for AI tasks like large language models (LLM), machine learning, model training, and demanding HPC workloads. With features like high-speed NVLink interconnectivity and support for enterprise-grade AI solutions, the SR780 is a game-changer in the AI server landscape.

By enhancing GPU and accelerator support across product lines and running performance benchmarks like MLPerf, Lenovo ensures customers can confidently leverage the full potential of their AI workloads.
