Lenovo ThinkSystem are actually the company’s servers and they offer Neptune liquid-cooled systems. Despite not having the fastest supercomputer in 2020 as its clients, Lenovo boasts some other impressive customers.
For example, Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences Research Computing’s Canon cluster runs on Lenovo’s servers. This supercomputer has an efficient data processing capacity that is used in researching complicated phenomenon like; earthquake aftershock forecasting, model black holes, map invisible ocean pollutants, flu tracking and details of star formation.
Commenting on this recent achievement, Lenovo says; “Our success is the result of our fantastic team working with our visionary customers and our strategic partners in HPC: AMD and Intel for processors and deep HPC knowledge, NVIDIA for GPUs and interconnect fabric and NetApp for storage.
“Customers have come to rely on these strong partnerships with Lenovo to help them create the systems that will power discoveries and innovations to solve humanity’s greatest challenges in the years to come.”
