Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 Rackmount Server with 128GB TruDDR4 RAM, 40TB Raw Storage, and Dual Xeon Silver 4316 Processors

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 is a high-performance, versatile 2U dual-socket rack-mount enterprise server, purpose-built to handle a broad range of demanding workloads. This custom-configured unit is optimized as a storage-centric enterprise server, designed for large-scale data archiving, backup, virtualization, and hybrid workloads, delivering exceptional compute power, massive storage capacity, and enterprise-grade reliability.

Powered by dual 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors, this SR650 V2 configuration delivers robust multi-threaded performance for enterprise workloads. With 40 total cores and 80 threads, it excels at handling concurrent virtual machines, database transactions, and application hosting, while the Ice Lake architecture ensures efficient instruction execution and low-latency processing. The 150W TDP design balances performance and power efficiency, making it ideal for storage-intensive environments where continuous, stable operation is critical.

This configuration features a high-capacity hybrid storage setup, perfectly balanced for speed and scalability:

• 2*960GB SATA SSDs: Deployed as system drives or high-speed cache for operating systems, virtualization hosts, and frequently accessed applications, ensuring fast boot times, low-latency read/write operations, and responsive application performance.
• 5*8TB SAS HDDs: Delivering 40TB of raw storage capacity, ideal for large-scale data archiving, centralized file sharing, database backups, and long-term data retention. The included ThinkSystem RAID 5350-8i controller supports multiple RAID modes (RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50), enabling you to build redundant storage arrays to protect against drive failures and ensure business continuity. The server’s flexible drive bay design supports future expansion, with the ability to add additional SAS/SATA or NVMe drives as your storage needs grow.

Built for 24/7 operation in data center environments, this SR650 V2 unit features:

• Dual Redundant 750W Platinum Power Supplies: Eliminating single points of failure, these high-efficiency power supplies ensure continuous operation even if one PSU fails, reducing downtime risks.
• Optimized Cooling System: N+1 redundant fans maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating and ensuring long-term hardware reliability for storage-intensive workloads.
• Robust Chassis Design: Hot-swappable components and enterprise-grade build quality minimize downtime and simplify maintenance, critical for data storage environments.

The SR650 V2 is highly scalable, with:

• PCIe 4.0 Expansion Slots: Support for additional network cards, storage controllers, or GPU accelerators to adapt to evolving business needs, such as adding high-speed network adapters for backup and replication.
• Up to 32 DIMM Slots: Memory can be expanded up to 8TB (with 3DS RDIMMs) to support larger virtualization clusters or in-memory databases.
• Broad OS Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Windows Server, Linux distributions, VMware, and other enterprise virtualization platforms, making it suitable for diverse enterprise environments.

Lenovo’s XClarity Controller (XCC) provides embedded management, remote monitoring, and automated maintenance tools to simplify IT operations, allowing you to monitor storage health, configure RAID arrays, and manage power usage remotely. Combined with the 3-year Next Business Day (NBD) on-site warranty, you get enterprise-level support to keep your infrastructure running smoothly, minimizing downtime and reducing IT management overhead.
