Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 — Product Overview
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 is a 4U rack-mount, four-socket server engineered for mission-critical workloads that demand maximum performance, scalability, and reliability. Built on the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor platform, the SR860 V3 supports up to four processors, 16TB of DDR5 memory, and flexible storage configurations with up to 48x 2.5-inch drive bays. It is designed for demanding applications including SAP HANA in-memory computing, transactional databases, large-scale virtualization, workload consolidation, and GPU-accelerated AI or 3D modeling workloads.
The server features up to four enterprise-grade GPUs, 18 PCIe slots, and two dedicated OCP 3.0 networking slots, providing exceptional I/O expansion for next-generation data center requirements. Advanced RAS capabilities—including Predictive Failure Analysis, memory mirroring, and Light Path Diagnostics—combined with Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 management deliver the availability and serviceability expected in business-critical environments.
