Customers can scale solutions at will and optimize costs with Lenovo metering technology that ensures they only pay for what they use. With the service, Lenovo has become the first one-stop-shop for end-to-end, edge-to-cloud AI solutions.
With more enterprise data being processed outside of the data center, Lenovo is committed to supporting AI workloads everywhere, ensuring purpose-built performance and maximizing computing efficiency that is critical to enabling implementation in remote settings. The Lenovo ThinkEdge SE455 V3 harnesses the cutting-edge EPYC 8004 series processor to deliver unmatched efficient performance at the edge, unlocking data intelligence and enabling next-generation AI applications while lowering power consumption and total cost of ownership in a compact, quiet design that works discreetly in remote settings. As emerging innovations, like large language models (LLMs), require more processing power, the new server delivers best-in-class power, storage and expandability to support even the most intensive AI and workload consolidation capabilities.
Across its solutions, Lenovo also continues to expand collaboration with best-in-class partners to support mass edge AI deployment, delivering tailored, proven and ready-to-deploy AI solutions. New solutions with partners like AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. with Qualcomm® Cloud AI 100 AI inference accelerator, are helping to improve end-to-end operations and decision-making with computer vision, audio recognition, prediction, security, and virtual assistants for every industry.
“As Latin America’s biggest tuna fishing fleet, we have reliable insight into fuel and food consumption on our vessels for the first time using advanced Lenovo edge AI computing,” said Sergio Alcaraz Pérez, IT Infrastructure Manager, Pesca Azteca. “Our crews can stock up with the exact supplies needed for every voyage, avoiding shortages and reducing unnecessary expenses while obtaining accurate, real-time information on the amount of fish caught, propelling more efficient, precise and profitable operations.”
In other key industries, like manufacturing, Lenovo offers edge AI solutions that help detect workplace hazards such as accidents, defective machinery and fires while state-of-the-art edge AI computing processes thousands of data points to monitor and engage with public crowds in large hospitality settings, enabling better guest services, security, and business intelligence in real time.
