Lenovo has introduced revolutionary high-performance innovations at Supercomputing 2024 (SC24), designed to advance energy efficiency and enable AI-driven transformation for enterprises and research institutions. These solutions are set to empower industries ranging from healthcare to finance, facilitating scientific discoveries and operational breakthroughs.
Driving Responsible Energy Use in AI-Powered Data Centers
Mr. Kumar Mitra, Managing Director & GM of Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group for ASEAN, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and ANZ, highlighted the growing importance of energy-efficient infrastructure in powering AI and the digital economy. He emphasized how businesses are increasingly adopting responsible AI deployment strategies to maximize their potential while addressing sustainability challenges.
Revolutionizing Cooling with Lenovo’s Neptune® Technology
With over a decade of expertise and more than 40 patents, Lenovo’s 6th Generation Neptune® Liquid Cooling introduces a game-changing design that enhances energy efficiency by removing heat through liquid instead of traditional air cooling. This advanced solution eliminates power-hungry fans, offering compact and efficient performance for data centers without major infrastructure modifications.
Scott Tease, Vice President of Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group, stated that this innovative approach allows any data center to integrate high-performance systems without the need for specialized infrastructure, making advanced computing accessible to enterprises of all sizes.
AI-Ready Solutions with Advanced Hardware and Cooling
Lenovo’s latest offerings include:
- ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune, powered by NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell NVL4 Superchip, designed to handle trillion-parameter AI models efficiently.
- ThinkSystem SR675 V3 with NVIDIA H200 NVL, delivering unparalleled performance and scalability for diverse HPC workloads.
These platforms aim to enable enterprises to seamlessly integrate AI solutions, achieving faster and cost-effective results.
Global Success Stories: Sustainability and Performance
Lenovo’s Neptune-powered supercomputers are fostering clean energy innovation and advanced research globally. Highlights include:
- ENEA (Italy): Lenovo’s HPC system at the Portici hub accelerates clean energy research, particularly in nuclear fusion, capturing 98% of generated heat and improving energy efficiency.
- Cineca (Italy): Lenovo’s HPC technology supports plasma physics research while reducing cooling electricity consumption by 15%.
Private AI Deployments with Liquid-Cooled Colocation
