Lenovo and NVIDIA have expanded their partnership with new, hybrid solutions and engineering collaboration that supports a shared vision to bring the power of generative AI to every enterprise.
In close collaboration with NVIDIA, Lenovo will deliver fully integrated systems that bring AI-powered computing to everywhere data are created, from the edge to the cloud, helping businesses deploy tailored generative AI applications to drive innovation and transformation across any industry.
The offerings were described by Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang at the annual global Lenovo Tech World keynote held in Austin, Texas, where they discussed businesses’ need for end-to-end solutions that bring together accelerated systems, AI software and expert services build and run custom AI models using their own data.
Supported by the new Lenovo AI Professional Services Practice, the solutions enable enterprises to use a hybrid cloud approach – building their custom AI models using NVIDIA AI Foundations cloud service and then running them with on-prem Lenovo systems powered by NVIDIA’s latest hardware and software designed for generative AI.
Lenovo’s NVIDIA-powered systems are optimized to run NVIDIA AI Enterprise software for secure, supported and stable production AI. With the trademarked NVIDIA NeMo framework, included in NVIDIA AI Enterprise, organizations can customize enterprise-grade large language models, available on NVIDIA AI Foundations.
Using the latest retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technique and fine-tuning methods, enterprises can build generative AI applications with their unique business data, which are optimized for production and running on Lenovo hybrid AI solutions.
At the center of the companies’ expanded partnership are the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 server and ThinkStation PX workstation, which are optimized for production AI running NVIDIA AI Enterprise.
The ThinkSystem SR675V3 will include NVIDIA L40S GPUs, NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and NVIDIA Spectrum-X networking. The ThinkStation PX will bring expanded AI capability and data center performance to the desktop by enabling up to 4x NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada GPUs in a system.
Additionally, Lenovo and NVIDIA will create next-generation systems based on the flexible NVIDIA MGX modular reference design to deliver a range of robust and secure solutions for demanding generative AI workloads and help businesses implement immersive simulations and cognitive decisions at scale with the trademarked NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform for connecting and developing OpenUSD applications.
The Lenovo solutions also support the VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, enabling the hundreds of thousands of VMware customers to streamline adoption of generative AI.
