Features

Highlights

Increased density, improved management, and energy efficiency reduces operating costs vs. 1U rack servers and older blade servers

Unsurpassed two socket memory capacity, featuring up to 3TB† of TruDDR4 memory, to enable more VDI users or VMs per node

Deploy new capabilities for virtualization, performance, and industry-leading networking flexibility

Ideal platform for those migrating from Lenovo BladeCenter and competitive blade systems, as well as users needing more computing power than 1P and older 2P blades can offer





Infrastructure made simple

The Flex System Enterprise Chassis now supports two new blades, incorporating powerful Intel Xeon processor Scalable family CPUs: the two-processor ThinkSystem SN550 and the four-processor ThinkSystem SN850. The chassis was engineered to support high-speed networking and multiple generations of Intel Xeon processors. With twice the memory of the previous generation server, increased memory bandwidth, and faster and larger storage capacity, the SN550 is powerful enough for most key data center workloads, such as cloud, server virtualization, departmental databases, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), as well as consolidating older servers onto a single blade. In addition, the SN550 is compatible with your current Flex System Enterprise Chassis, protecting your investment in your chassis infrastructure.
