Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 Mission-Critical Server
Product Overview
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V2 is a 4U four-socket rack server engineered for the most demanding, mission-critical enterprise workloads. It is designed to deliver an exceptional balance of price, performance, and scalability for applications such as in-memory databases (e.g., SAP HANA), large transactional databases, AI inference, real-time analytics, ERP, CRM, and virtualized server environments.
The server features a flexible “pay-as-you-grow” architecture, starting with two processors and scaling to four via a simple docking mechanism that adds the top processor and memory tray. This design allows organizations to expand processor, memory, and storage capacity as business needs evolve without replacing the entire system. The SR860 V2 supports up to four enterprise-grade GPUs for accelerated computing, high-speed NVMe storage, and Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory 200 Series, arming it with the technologies necessary to handle both current and future enterprise-class workloads.
