Introduction The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 is an ideal 2-socket 2U rack server for small businesses up to large enterprises that need industry-leading reliability, management, and security, as well as maximizing performance and flexibility for future growth. The SR650 V2 is based on the 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor family (formerly codenamed “Ice Lake”) and the Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series. The SR650 V2 is designed to handle a wide range of workloads, such as databases, virtualization and cloud computing, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), infrastructure security, systems management, enterprise applications, collaboration/email, streaming media, web, and HPC. Key features Combining performance and flexibility, the SR650 V2 server is a great choice for enterprises of all sizes. The server offers a broad selection of drive and slot configurations and offers numerous high performance features. Outstanding reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) and high-efficiency design can improve your business environment and can help save operational costs. Scalability and performance The SR650 V2 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability and reduce costs: Supports one or two third-generation Intel Xeon Processor Scalable processors Up to 40 cores and 80 threads Core speeds of up to 3.6 GHz TDP ratings of up to 270W Support for up to 32 TruDDR4 memory DIMMs operating at up to 3200 MHz means you have the fastest available memory subsystem. Supports configurations of 2 DIMMs per channel to operate at the 3200 MHz rated speed of the memory DIMMs. Using 256GB 3DS RDIMMs, the server supports up to 8TB of system memory. Supports the new Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series for advanced in-memory database applications, dense-virtualization; up to 16 PMem Modules can be installed in conjunction with regular system memory. Supports up to eight single-width GPUs or three double-wide GPUs, for substantial processing power in a 2U system. Supports up to 40x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, by using combinations of front-accessible (up to 24 bays), mid bays (8 bays) and rear-accessible (8 bays). Supports 20x 3.5-inch drive bays for lower-cost high-capacity HDD storage. 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays can be mixed if desired. Supports 16x NVMe drives without oversubscription of PCIe lanes (1:1 connectivity), or up to 32 NVMe drives with a 1:2 oversubscription. The use of NVMe drives maximizes drive I/O performance, in terms of throughput and latency. Supports 12x SATA drives using the onboard SATA controller (no additional adapter needed), enabling lower cost, high capacity storage solution for cold or archival storage workloads. The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 is a powerful and versatile 2U rack server designed for demanding enterprise workloads. It supports up to two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, offering high performance and scalability for applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and AI. With a flexible storage configuration, it accommodates a mix of SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives for enhanced storage performance. The SR650 V2 also features advanced security, high availability, and energy-efficient design, making it an ideal solution for data-intensive environments in industries ranging from IT to healthcare. Its robust architecture supports a wide range of enterprise applications and workloads.
