At the recent Lenovo Tech World 2024 event, the company showcased its expertise in the concept of ‘Hybrid AI’ through its products and launches focused on personal AI, enterprise AI, and public AI. While Lenovo’s PC’s and AI buddies were highly praised, the company’s continued push in the infrastructure domain was the highlight of the event. Scott Tease, VP and GM of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) at Lenovo, explained what sets their HPC solutions apart from competitors like Dell. According to Tease, Lenovo’s HPC systems are designed to be accessible to any customer, regardless of their data center setup or size. Unlike competitors whose HPC solutions require specialized facilities, Lenovo’s systems are engineered to fit into standard data center racks and operate with standard power requirements. This makes them ideal for regular data centers and eliminates the need for costly infrastructure changes. Tease also highlighted Lenovo’s focus on sustainability, with their sixth-generation Neptune cooling system ThinkSystem N1380 Neptune being a prime example. This water-cooling system is designed to support NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform and AI applications, operating at 100 kW+ server racks and achieving 100% heat removal. This not only improves performance but also reduces power consumption, helping both Lenovo and its clients achieve their ESG targets. With their mission to democratize high-end HPC technology, Lenovo is truly designing exascale for every scale.
