Servers sure to sport AMD's Epyc Genoa or Intel's Sapphire Rapids but certain specs still under wraps
in Intel's case, as existing server CPUs do not have support for these technologies.
Additionally, Lenovo said it has lined up enhancements in its Neptune cooling technologies for the new ThinkSystem V3 boxes, specifically a liquid-to-air hybrid cooling option that can be deployed"just like an air-cooled server," according to Kamran Amini, VP and GM for Server, storage and software-defined Infrastructure.
There is a new liquid-to-liquid cooling option for high-density solutions, supported in the ThinkSystem SR630 V3, Amini said. Lenovo’s ThinkAgile V3 boxes are the company's hyperconverged systems for private cloud deployments, and there are 32 new SKUs here. The ThinkAgile MX and SXM are certified for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Azure Stack Hub, while ThinkAgile HX are designed for the Nutanix platform and ThinkAgile VX boxes are for VMware vSAN.
Three new Optimized Infrastructure Solutions for specific deployment scenarios were announced; ThinkAgile MX for Microsoft Azure SQL, ThinkAgile MX for Microsoft Azure Backup and Recovery and ThinkAgile MX for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop. Lenovo has four new ThinkSystem DE Series storage arrays as part of this wave of products, comprising the DE6400F and DE6600F all-flash boxes and the DE6400H and DE6600H hybrid arrays, with the all-flash units scaling to 1.8PB of capacity, the company said.
