Features and Benefits
Dense optimized
ThinkSystem SD530 consists of a modular 2U Lenovo D2 Enclosure containing up to four front-access SD530 servers (nodes). Each node, incorporating two powerful Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable family CPUs, achieves up to 36% faster performance than the previous generation.*
* Based on Intel internal testing, August 2018.
Modular design
The innovative design of the D2 enclosure provides the flexibility to meet varied needs in the modern data center. With multiple shuttle options, SharedIO, optional GPU tray, and support for Lenovo Neptune Thermal Transfer Module, the SD530 can be easily customized to your specific workload needs.
Workload-optimized support
Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory delivers a new, flexible tier of memory designed specifically for data center workloads that offers an unprecedented combination of high capacity, affordability, and persistence. This technology will have a significant impact on real-world data center operations: reduction of restart times from minutes down to seconds, 1.2x virtual machine density, dramatically improved data replication with 14x lower latency and 14x higher IOPS, and greater security for persistent data built into hardware.*
* Based on Intel internal testing, August 2018.
Future defined data center
Lenovo delivers cost-effective, reliable and scalable solutions by combining industry-leading technology and the world’s best software-defined offerings with Lenovo ThinkShield, XClarity and TruScale Infrastructure Services to manage the life cycle of your data center needs. ThinkSystem SD530 supports the LiCO platform for simplified management of your HPC and AI workloads and cluster resources.
