The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST550 2-socket 4U rack-mountable tower server provides excellent performance and superior reliability. It is ideal for small and medium enterprises, distributed enterprises, retail, educational institutions and remote offices/branches. The ST550 server now supports the second generation Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family processors with up to 768 GB of TruDDR4 system memory. Suggested uses: business workloads such as email, workgroup applications, file and print, system administration, web services, and point-of-sale applications. Main parameters It boosts productivity by offering superior system performance with up to two processors with up to 22 cores each and core speeds of up to 3.8 GHz. Hyper-Threading technology to maximize the concurrent execution of multi-threaded applications, available on most processors. Intelligent and adaptive system performance with energy-efficient Intel Turbo Boost technology, available on most processors, allows CPU cores to run at maximum speed during peak workloads by temporarily exceeding the processor thermal performance (TDP). Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating system vendors to better utilize hardware for virtualization tasks. Intel Speed Select Technology provides improvements in server utilization and guaranteed performance levels of individual cores with more detailed control of processor performance. Intel Deep Learning Boost (Vector Neural Network Instruction Set or VNNI) is designed to provide significant and more efficient acceleration of deep learning (Inference) for high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) enable acceleration of enterprise-class workloads, including databases and enterprise repsu planning (ERP). Each processor has six memory channels with memory speeds up to 2933 MHz to help maximize system performance Up to 768GB of memory capacity using 12x 64GB DIMMs Internal 12 Gb/s SAS storage connectivity doubles the data transfer rate compared to 6 Gb SAS solutions to maximize the performance of storage I/O intensive applications. Flexible storage configurations support either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hot-swappable drive bays or a combination of both (hybrid configurations). Configurations are also available with 3-5 inch bays for single-swap drives. The 3.5-inch drive bays support SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs. The 2.5-inch drive bays support SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs, as well as NVMe drives. Support for up to four NVMe PCIe SSDs in a 2.5-inch design maximizes the performance of the I/O unit in terms of throughput, bandwidth and latency. Using Solid State Drives (SSDs) instead of or alongside traditional Hard Drives (HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical HDD. Broadcom new high-speed RAID controllers provide 12 Gb SAS connectivity to disk backplanes. A range of *RAID adapters are available with up to 4GB cache and support for 20 drives on a single controller. It supports the new M.2 adapter in Lenovo patented design for convenient operating system boot functions. The available M.2 adapters support either one M.2 drive or two M.2 drives in a RAID 1 configuration for higher boot drive performance and reliability. The server has two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. The server offers PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion options that improve the theoretical maximum bandwidth by almost 100% (8 GT/ps per line using 128b/130b encoding) compared to the previous generation PCI Express 2.0 (5 GT/s per line using 8b/10b encoding). The server offers up to six PCIe 3.0 I/O expansion slots plus one slot dedicated to the M.2 adapter Support for up to two NVIDIA graphics processors (GPUs) to maximize computing power.
