Lenovo is the first HPC company to go abroad, providing product solutions and technical support for many world-class supercomputing centers. For example, at Leibniz Supercomputing Center, one of the largest academic data centers in Europe, Lenovo helped them build a 11000-node SuperMUC direct water-cooled supercomputing cluster. The peak computing speed of the cluster reaches 9 trillion times per second, providing supercomputing resources to researchers throughout Europe, including astrophysics, life science and so on.

In addition to the performance improvement, the new cluster system achieves a PUE value of 1.1, much lower than the average industry level of 1.5-3, due to the use of Lenovo's 45-degree warm water cooling technology. Lenovo reduced its overall electricity bill by 37% for five years-from 27.6 million euros to 17.4 million euros, saving more than 10 million euros.

In addition to the Leibniz supercomputing center, Lenovo has also helped many customers such as Barcelona in Spain and CINECA in Bologna to build world-class supercomputing systems in Europe. In the global Top500 ranking of high-performance computing, Lenovo has maintained the first place in China and the second place in the world with 99 sets for two consecutive years. Our supercomputers serve customers in all countries around the world and help customers innovate in many areas such as high-energy physics, life sciences, meteorology, ocean, environmental protection, aerospace, oil exploration, intelligent manufacturing and the Internet.

Recently, Lenovo, using water-cooling technology, recently won the bid for the supercomputing center project of Peking University. This is the first supercomputing center in the country to apply water-cooled technology. It can not only provide super high computing performance, but also save a lot of energy for schools and the country. Lenovo's water-cooled technology inherited from the acquisition of IBM's System X server, and then merged with the original Lenovo ThinkServer.

Lenovo server: dual-brand operation, or move towards convergence

After integrating System x, Lenovo has initially built a data center layout, including servers, storage, and networks. The server product line is extremely rich, from low-end single-way, to high-end four-way / eight-way, blades, converged infrastructure Flex System, to cabinet servers, high-density servers, Lenovo servers will cover almost every market space.

Zhou Deliang, global general manager of massive servers of Lenovo data Center Business Group, believes that ThinkServer and System x are naturally complementary and have different market positioning: "System x, which has a wide demand for high-end products such as finance, post and telecommunications, and public transport, while trying to make the whole System x a brand image of the best solution." ThinkServer will focus on the pursuit of cost-effective areas such as government and education, while IPDC will also use ThinkServer to maximize its share. "

In other words, ThinkServer and System x will adopt a dual-brand operation approach to achieve maximum complementarity. The System X system inherits a large number of advanced technologies of IBM servers, such as the best reliability in the industry, direct water cooling technology, and so on. However, Zhou Deliang said that dual-brand does not mean completely using two sets of completely independent mechanisms and systems to operate, which is not conducive to the development of Lenovo's enterprise-level business. Zhou Deliang said that after one or two generations, the two product lines may gradually move towards integration, and even the brand will gradually move towards such a state in the future.

"because in the future, we may have to replan the entire Lenovo brand, because you see the new Lenovo organizational adjustment, in the future in the field of mobile Internet, in the field of cloud, it may have some of its own brand demands in the future. or the possibility of some new brand image. Among the traditional commercial customers, we will also replan and reposition the product brand Think in the future. And we have now achieved the integration of back-end R & D, procurement and supply, and the integration and unified management of the team. So in the future, I believe that with the change of the product life cycle, Lenovo will plan to unify the brand of a unified enterprise product line under the big Lenovo brand, "said Zhou Deliang.
