The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 is a 4-socket high-performance server based on the third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with support for Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series. The system supports up to 48x drive bays and 48x memory module slots, plus up to 8x high-performance NVIDIA GPUs. It delivers affordable performance and growth potential for any industry involving mission-critical workloads such as databases, enterprise resource planning, and in-memory computing.
Designed for the most demanding, mission-critical workloads and virtual machine density, the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 server offers up to 48x storage devices and up to 14x PCIe 3.0 slots. This system is powered by up to four 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors configured with a mesh topology. The 4U platform also supports graphics cards capabilities ranging from a single GPU all the way up to 8x GPUs for compute and graphics intensive workloads.
Two or four Intel Xeon Scalable processors with a TDP of up to 250W from the 3rd generation family, can be installed in the Lenovo SR860 V2 server. The top processor and memory tray can be docked into the server to increase the number of processors from two to four, plus increase the amount of memory module slots from 24x to 48x DIMMs. Each processor features up to 28 cores and 56 threads, for a total of 112 cores and 224 threads, and cores speeds of up to 3.9 GHz.
As mentioned in the section above, the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon CPUs support up to 48x DIMMs, with 12x memory slots and 6 memory channels per CPU. The device is compatible with Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, which are next-generation persistent memory modules that provide unprecedented memory capacity and resiliency. The high-memory and virtualization capabilities cap out at 12TB of memory when 3DS RDIMMs are installed, while up to 18TB of memory can be mounted when Intel Optane DC Persistent memory and 3DS RDIMMs are combined. The SR860 V2 can support memory-intensive workloads, create enormous virtual machines, and run very big in-memory databases without sacrificing performance.
Lenovo’s ThinkSystem SR860 V2 provides tremendous storage capabilities with up to 48x 2.5” storage bays, which are compatible with SAS, SATA, and NVMe interfaces. The 4U system also supports two 7mm rear accessible drives can be used to boot the system in a mirrored RAID. At 24x NVMe drives, this server offers more than double the number of NVMe drives that the predecessor system supported. NVMe SSD drives can be supported by Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) which is an Enterprise, hybrid RAID solution especially designed for NVMe SSDs. A maximum of up to 737TB of storage is available on this system.
Support for up to 4x double-wide, Ampere based NVIDIA V100S GPUs or 8x single-wide NVIDIA T4 GPUs is available to tackle compute intensive applications accelerating deep or machine learning, artificial intelligence, training, analytics, 3D modeling, and video transcoding. There are up to 14x PCIe 3.0 slots available, including an OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot for an optional Ethernet connector, that can be accessed through the rear of the chassis. Four processors are required for slots 1-4 and 9-12. Three slots (slots 13, 14, 15) are on the system board, while three more (slots 5, 6, 7) are accessible via a lower riser card. Upper riser cards connect to the processors on the processor and memory expansion tray in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 9, 10, 11, 12.
The ThinkSystem SR860 V2 is managed by Lenovo’s integrated XClarity Controller to standardize, simplify, and automate foundation server management tasks. The virtual application can be locally accessed through a USB 2.0 port and an LCD panel on the front panel. A dedicated ethernet port on the back of the system can allow Administrators to remotely manage the chassis, trouble shoot, and can be programmed to send alerts.
The 4U, 4-socket Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 is equipped with third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. These CPUs offer large capacities for both memory and storage, plus support for multiple high-performance GPUs. The versatile system can tackle compute-intensive applications with a quad processor layout plus up to 48x drive bays, 48x DIMMs, and up to 8x GPUs.
