Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

In the era of digital economy, computing power has become a new type of productivity, especially under the promotion of generative artificial intelligence technology, AI-oriented intelligent computing power is promoting the construction of digital economy into the deep water area, and the deployment of AI and computing power has also become the key to the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises.

Recently, the 2023 China Computing Conference with the theme of "calculating the trend of new industries and endowed with high-quality development" was held in Yinchuan. As a leading provider of intelligent full-stack solutions and services, Lenovo Group was invited to attend the meeting and made it clear that "Puhui" computing power will be the strategic direction of Lenovo's future development of computing power, and launched the latest AI server products.

This means that Lenovo Group, led by Puhui, is building a comprehensive AI-oriented computing infrastructure and a solid AI computing base, so as to give full play to its enabling and leading role in the field of AI and computing power, and contribute substantial strength to promoting the construction of the digital economy.

Release new products of AI server, tamp AI computing base

Under the development tide of AI led by ChatGPT, AI server, as the core infrastructure of computing power, plays a vital role in the growing demand for computing power because of its high-performance computing power, powerful storage capacity, high-performance design and other advantages.

The market value of AI server is prominent, and the market demand increases accordingly. According to TrendForce data, global AI server shipments reached 855000 in 2022, and global AI server shipments are expected to be 2.369 million in 2026, with a compound growth rate of 29.02% in 2022-2026, which is expected to lead the growth of the entire server market.

As the third largest server provider in the world, Lenovo Group is very competitive in the server market. According to the global x86 server market report released by IDC in the first quarter of 2023, Lenovo Group increased its market share to 7.1% with a year-on-year growth rate of 39.9%, making it the third largest server manufacturer in the world for three consecutive quarters, becoming the only company to achieve substantial growth.

Based on the demand of AI computing power and the market prospect of AI server, Lenovo Group has upgraded its products to AI-oriented servers on the basis of inheriting its server advantages. In recent years, Lenovo Group has made a strong layout of AI servers, and formed a dual-brand layout of "Lenovo Wendy + Lenovo ThinkSystem". At the China Computing Conference, Lenovo Group launched two new AI server products-Lenovo WA7780 G3 AI large model training server and Lenovo WA5480 G3 AI training server, which further consolidated its leading position in the AI server field.

These two AI server products are AI-oriented computing infrastructure built by Lenovo Group, which can realize global AI applications. Chen Zhenkuan, vice president of Lenovo Group and general manager of the server division of Lenovo's infrastructure business group in China, said: "the two newly launched Lenovo AI servers, adhering to the two strategic characteristics of'AI intelligence and green enabling', cover global applications through leading AI technology, and create a comprehensive AI-oriented infrastructure."

Among them, "AI intelligence" means that 100% computing infrastructure products support AI,50% infrastructure research and development in the field of AI, with comprehensive AI technology covering global AI applications. For example, Lenovo WA7780 G3 is a server specially built for AI big model training, which has three advantages: surging power, flexible architecture, energy saving and high efficiency. It aims to provide strong computing support for AI big model training. Lenovo WA5480 G3 AI training and push integrated server is a 4U rack AI server in the Lenovo brand, which supports multiple computing power and rich ecology, and can provide extremely reliable computing power for the training and reasoning of AI models.

The purpose of "green enabling" is to build a beacon of liquid cooling cluster scheme under the guidance of liquid cooling technology, and to promote the sustainable development of intelligent computing industry with green computing infrastructure. At present, the liquid cooling technology of Lenovo Group has been widely used in specific products. For example, Poseidon warm water cooling technology reduces the PUE to 1.1, and the heat dissipation efficiency can be as high as 98%, helping Shanghai Jiaotong University's "Siyuan No. 1" high-performance computing cluster to achieve 5 times the computing density of the general computing center, while the required computer room area is only 1max 10 of the general computer room.

Send the power "Puhui", the intelligent calculation center plan to increase the calculation power.

In the new computing era driven by the digital economy and general artificial intelligence dominated by ChatGPT, the scale of computing power demand is constantly expanding, showing obvious characteristics of specialization, marginalization, intelligence and so on. The traditional computing paradigm based on general computing has been unable to meet the demand. The new computing era of "Puhui" jointly released by KPMG and Lenovo believes that in the new computing era, the future computing power will accelerate its development in the "Puhui" dimension of universal plus wisdom.

In this regard, Chen Zhenkuan said: "Lenovo hopes to make computing power a public resource like electricity, so that everyone can use universal and intelligent computing power, and 'Puhui' computing power will be the strategic direction of Lenovo's future development."

Behind the value proposition of "Puhui" computing power, Lenovo Group relies on the new "end-edge-cloud-network-intelligence" IT architecture to build a computing infrastructure with excellent performance, fully covering cloud and edge computing scenarios, and meeting the training and reasoning needs of AI and traditional models at the same time.

Focusing on the AI-oriented computing infrastructure, Lenovo launched the Lenovo Intelligent Computing Center solutions and service core products for the first time at the China Computing Conference, including Lenovo brain embedded solutions, Lenovo hybrid cloud solutions, Lenovo green low-carbon computing center infrastructure, Lenovo Intelligent Computing Center services and Lenovo Zhenxing 2.0 services.

The solution of Lenovo brain embedding is the grasp of the computing service of Lenovo Intelligence Center, which is widely used in many industries, such as finance, education, manufacturing, energy and so on. Lenovo hybrid cloud solution is the cloud base that supports the intelligent computing center. It contains computing resources of universal computing, supercomputing and intelligent computing. It is a hybrid cloud solution for scheduling and unified deployment of hybrid computing resources. The infrastructure of Lenovo Green low-carbon Intelligence Center is committed to helping customers build a green and low-carbon Intelligence Center.

Lenovo Intelligence Center service provides end-to-end, full-cycle companionship service from consulting design to system operation, while Lenovo Computing Service 2.0 uses an innovative business model of on-demand subscription and flexible payment to help reduce the cost of investment.

Dai Wei, vice president of Lenovo Group and general manager of China solution Services Group, said that Lenovo solution services will be delivered in three ways: hybrid cloud, Zhonghua service 2.0 subscription and one-stop delivery. Support the hybrid computing needs of three types of scenarios (smart computing, hypercomputing, general computing).

It is worth mentioning that the "Puhui" computing power advocated by Lenovo Group has four-dimensional computing characteristics of integration, scene, subscription and green in the infrastructure layer, while Lenovo Group AI server products, Lenovo Intelligence Center solutions and services all meet these four characteristics. Driven by the computing power of "Puhui", Lenovo Group will help to achieve a wide range of artificial intelligence applications.

The future has come, AI technology is developing and popularizing rapidly, and the demand for AI computing power is increasing with the in-depth development and wide application of AI. Lenovo Group is based on its innate "computing genes", "Puhui" and AI-oriented computing infrastructure, which is helping various industries to speed up the transformation of digitalization and intelligence, and make new breakthroughs in the development of digital economy.
