Infrastructure made simple
The Flex System Enterprise Chassis now supports two new blades, incorporating powerful Intel® Xeon® processor Scalable family CPUs: the two-processor ThinkSystem SN550 and the four-processor ThinkSystem SN850. The chassis was engineered to support high-speed networking and multiple generations of Intel Xeon processors. With twice the memory of the previous generation server**, increased memory bandwidth, and faster and larger storage capacity, the SN550 is powerful enough for most key data center workloads, such as cloud, server virtualization, departmental databases, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), as well as consolidating older servers onto a single blade. In addition, the SN550 is compatible with your current Flex System Enterprise Chassis, protecting your investment in your chassis infrastructure.
**Compared to the prior-generation Lenovo Flex System x240 M5.
