As the latest generation of star products, RD640 continued the Thinkserver family of reliable quality, innovative lead, full care of the three genes, to the ultimate performance, ultra-low energy consumption, flexible expansion and other advantages for the financial, military, energy, medical, government, education, large and medium-sized enterprises and other industries to bring higher application value, Fully meet its high requirements for IT platform stability, security, and performance, and help customers successfully cope with the new challenges and opportunities brought about by cloud computing and the big Data age.

Thinkserver RD640 employs a new intel® Xeon e5-2600 V2 series processor, with a overall 27% increase in computing power. At the same time, RD640 storage capacity can be as high as 32TB, and for the massive data throughput performance further optimization, to achieve more than 12 times times the data read and write performance improvement, for the need for a large number of data processing industry customers to bring reliable protection.

Strong power to inject new vigor into enterprise

As the new Thinkserver family new work, RD640 can carry two of Intel's latest Ivy Bridge platform Xeon E5-2600 V2 series high-end processors, up to 24 core processing to bring strong computing power; with DIMM memory, Capacity up to 320GB, users can also choose low power LV-RDIMM memory to meet the stringent performance requirements of the business while further optimizing energy efficiency.

In terms of storage space, Thinkserver RD640 not only supports traditional SATA, SAS hard drives, but also supports high-performance SSD solid-state drives, which enable users to choose 8x3.5 "and 8/16x2.5" hdd hard drive configurations to maximize 32TB storage capacity, Data read and write performance of more than 12 times times the upgrade, easy to meet the enterprise critical applications of the system performance of stringent requirements. The RAID options provided by LSI include a Thinkserver RAID 710 adapter with 1GB High speed writeback cache, optional LSI megaraid cachecade Pro 2.0, and FastPath technology to provide users with superior reliability and IOP performance. In addition, Thinkserver RD640 new product also has 2 x16,4 x8 a total of 6 PCI expansion port, to provide users with more powerful I/O scalability, to achieve flexible expansion.

Ultimate Energy efficiency lowers enterprise TCO

For many large enterprises and institutional customers, energy consumption is a significant cost in IT operations, which, according to statistics, the Enterprise Data Center 40% of the energy consumption by the server. Thinkserver RD640 uses Lenovo's innovative "intelligent energy-saving technology" to significantly improve system energy efficiency. In the authoritative specpower standard test, RD640 with excellent low-power performance, as well as the combination of soft and hard energy efficiency management system, to provide users with excellent energy management, to save users 30% of the electricity bill. At the same time, RD640 also uses a leading dynamic load-carrying power supply, with the industry's highest standard redundant hot-swap (Platinum Power), to achieve 94% of the power conversion efficiency, and support dynamic loading adjustment, to ensure the conversion efficiency of the power supply.

Thinkserver RD640 adopts the family innovative Intelligent Energy Efficiency management Technology (smart Grid). The system uses unattended design, the user can use the web side of the independent management interface, through a simple step-by-step configuration process, easy remote management of data center energy consumption. The embedded intelligent algorithm can monitor the power consumption and performance of the server, give the trend and report, and recommend the optimized data center physical layout Management and power management strategy for the users. The power management system based on dynamic monitoring of application effectiveness, all based on dynamic monitoring data, can maximize energy saving without affecting performance, users can also open temperature monitoring, get hot report of engine room and optimize air-conditioning planning.

In addition, Thinkserver RD640 adhering to the "high quality" gene, using the Thinkserver family unique ultra-slow seismic technology, effectively reduce the vibration caused by 40% of the system failure, greatly improve system stability. The dual-body design of the chassis, the strength than the ordinary chassis upgrade of 20%, the hard disk warehouse is a double reinforcement design, the strength of the normal hard drive warehouse to upgrade by 50%.

Seamless integration to help enterprises flexible and easy to manage

For enterprise IT managers, data center expansion is a very frustrating thing, because the device brand is different, the need for multi-protocol adjustment, and even can not match, and the process is extremely cumbersome and waste time. To this end, Thinkserver RD640 for the user to create a truly open management, the adoption of open industrial standards and protocols, compatible with multi-brand product environment, and the application environment seamless integration; Through the Thinkserver family of machine-free tool design, So that administrators do not need any tools to complete the server disassembly, 60 seconds on the shelves, rapid repair failures.

Thinkserver RD640 provides users with a range of practical management tools that allow for easy bulk deployment, alerting, and system management. The new Thinkserver Server navigation tool software easy startup can help IT administrators deploy large-volume servers at the same time, with just two mouse clicks to complete the installation of all major operating systems in the industry, and to configure raid during installation, without having to configure it individually, Dramatically reduce the overall cost of server deployment. and Lenovo original DIT fault self-diagnosis technology, CPU, memory, power supply, fans and other major components of accurate fault location, and the system fault information intuitive display in the management interface, to help users quickly locate, shorten the failure time.

In addition to its unique firmware intelligent upgrade system, Lenovo Thinkserver RD640 to help IT administrators upgrade system firmware anytime, anywhere, and continuously optimize the efficiency of the server, as well as the latest plug-in tools for VMware vcenter and Microsoft SCE. and using VMware vsphere Operations management management software and lenovo| The Complete virtualization management solution built by EMC storage technology can further help IT managers improve enterprise management efficiency.
