ThinkEdge SE450
On December 8, 2021, Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), a division of Lenovo, is updating its Lenovo ThinkEdge line of devices and announcing the ThinkEdge SE450 server, an artificial intelligence platform that can be deployed directly to the periphery to accelerate business intelligence results.
ThinkEdge SE450 extends the functionality of peripherals to provide fast data processing and high performance for more environments, speeding up real-time decision-making on the peripherals.
"As companies continue to address today's challenges, they need high-performance, edge-of-the-box infrastructure solutions that enable faster data processing for competitive business advantages. With the introduction of the ThinkEdge server to the market SE450 in collaboration with an extensive ecosystem of partners, Lenovo is implementing the introduction of AI technologies on the periphery - whether it is expanding connectivity in smart cities to detect accidents and respond quickly to them or meeting the needs for preventive maintenance of production lines. " - said Charles Ferland, vice president and CEO of Peripheral Computing and Communication Service Provider at Lenovo ISG. |
"'Accelerating Business Intelligence on the Periphery
Peripheral Computing are at the heart digital transformation of companies in many industries because they can optimize the way data is processed in close proximity to its source. According to a Gartner study, enterprise data 2025 will be processed on the periphery by 75%, and 2022 [[Internet Internet of Things () |] IoT ] projects Internet of Things (IoT) will include AI technologies by 80%. Lenovo customers use data from the periphery to make immediate decisions in production shops, stores, city streets and mobile telecommunication sites. The Lenovo ThinkEdge range extends beyond traditional data centers to maximum processing power on the periphery.
"Expanding our cloud to on-premise IT allows you to speed up data processing and improve resiliency and performance, as well as improve user experience. The ThinkEdge SE450 solution, presented in partnership with Lenovo, is used to place the 5G network on peripheral nodes and implement applications for enterprises. The solution provides a compact and reliable platform with the necessary performance to accommodate our telecommunications infrastructure and provide users with applications such as e-learning, "said Khalid Al Suwaidi, vice president of Fixed and Mobile Core at Etisalat. |
"'Improve performance, scalability, and security
The Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 is designed to overcome server constraints - it meets the needs of a wide range of critical workloads with a low-noise design and a portable form factor with less depth that allows it to be installed in confined spaces. In addition, the device provides real-time analytics with high performance and flexible deployment options that can support multiple AI workloads, allowing customers to scale the solution as needed. A server with support for many GPU adapters is specially designed for building peripheral environments calculations and has a wear-resistant design that can withstand a wider range of operating temperatures, as well as adverse operating conditions such as dust, shock and vibration. Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 - equipped with graphics processorsNVIDIA for enterprise industrial and application of AI in peripheral applications for maximum performance.
Security is critical, and Lenovo provides companies with the ability to confidently transfer data between peripheral and cloud environments using fault-tolerant and secure infrastructure solutions that minimize the risks of security breaches and data threats. The ThinkEdge portfolio offers many connectivity and protection options that are easily deployed and securely managed in today's remote environments. Among them are a new secure bezel to prevent unauthorized access and reliable security features for more effective data protection.
The ThinkEdge SE450 server is designed with a scalable processor Intel 3rd generation Xeon equipped with Intel Deep Learning Boost Technology and supports flash drives for AI applications and computing analytics on the periphery. The server was verified by Intel as the Intel Select Solution for the vRAN virtual network.
"Our collaboration with Lenovo helps businesses increase business value by transforming the network and leveraging edge computing. Fault tolerant and flexible servers equipped with the 3rd generation Intel Xeon processor provide high performance and provide a reliable foundation for modern AI solutions, "said Jenny Panhrost, Vice President and General Manager of Intel Network and Peripheral Platforms. |
There are often no personnel in the areas of peripheral computing, as they are difficult to reach - the ThinkEdge SE450 server can be deployed automatically, the device is controlled using Lenovo Open Cloud Automation (LOC-A), and is also configured thanks to Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator software. Support for wireless data transfer technologies and remote access to the device avoids additional visits to the locations of the equipment.
AI-Enabled Peripheral Computing Solutions
With a flexible approach to hardware development with partners and customers, Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 allows you to solve current operational problems in the field of telecommunications, retail and smart cities. The AI-adapted server supports an extensive ecosystem of partner solutions, making it easier for customers to deploy peripheral computing solutions. As companies build hybrid infrastructures from cloud to peripherals, the server is the optimal extension for on-premises cloud environments built around technologies and solutions from Microsoft, NVIDIA, Red Hat and VMware.
ThinkEdge SE30 и SE50
On March 10, 2021, Lenovo introduced the ThinkEdge line of systems for peripheral computing. ThinkEdge SE30 and ThinkEdge SE50 are small devices designed for enterprise data processing, security, and peripheral scalability.
According to the company, it is expected that by 2025 the 75% of data generated by companies will be processed at the border of IT environments. The pandemic has catalyzed digital transformation and accelerated the adoption of edge computing solutions in companies around the world.
Lenovo's December 2020 survey of top executives and IT executives showed that edge computing is a key priority and is being deployed at a rapid pace. 59% of respondents said they "hope to implement computing solutions in the next 6 months." 82% are confident that "real-time data collection and analysis are the areas where peripheral solutions have the greatest impact on their business."
Lenovo ThinkEdge devices are powered by Intel processors and are designed to handle enterprise data on the periphery.
Edge computing is critical to the intelligent transformation of enterprises. These products in the ThinkEdge line are specialized devices that can work both independently and as part of various corporate solutions. noted Jon Pershke, Vice President, Strategic Planning and Business Development at Lenovo Smart Devices |
ThinkEdge SE30 is built on the 11th generation Intel Core i5 vPro processor for industrial computing. It provides adequate performance, accelerates AI workloads, offers optimized security features, and has an extended operating temperature range (-20 to +60º C). In addition, ThinkEdge SE30 supports 4G networks, and in the second half of 2021 the device will be able to work in the 5G range.
