While data is growing an unprecedented scale, analyzing it is where the real insights can be found. Data has been said to be the new gold rush, but the value in the data is typically not apparent on the surface level. Analyzing such huge volumes of data is a challenge that needs to be addressed. This is where Lenovo comes in with its new Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 & SR850 V2 servers as well as the ThinkSystem DM7100 storage system. The new servers are all about high-end processing and memory capabilities and come with twice the NVMe storage capacity of their predecessors.
Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 & SR850 V2 Servers include the following benefits:
Looking into the individual devices announced today, first up the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2. This server aims to deliver affordable scalability for workloads such as SAP HANA in-memory computing, transactional databases, analytics, big data, and enterprise resource planning tasks.
