Nvidia, Lenovo announce expansion of hybrid AI partnership

Lenovo (LNVGY) and Nvidia (NVDA) announced an expansion of their partnership with new, hybrid solutions and engineering collaboration that “supports their shared vision to bring the power of generative AI to every enterprise.” “In close collaboration with NVIDIA, Lenovo will deliver fully integrated systems that bring AI-powered computing to everywhere data is created, from the edge to the cloud, helping businesses easily deploy tailored generative AI applications to drive innovation and transformation across any industry. The offerings were described by Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang and Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang at the annual global Lenovo Tech World keynote held in Austin, Texas,” the companies stated. “At the center of the companies’ expanded partnership are the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 server and ThinkStation PX workstation, which are optimized for production AI running NVIDIA AI Enterprise. The ThinkSystem SR675V3 will include NVIDIA L40S GPUs, NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and NVIDIA Spectrum-X networking. The ThinkStation PX will bring expanded AI capability and data center performance to the desktop by enabling up to 4x NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada GPUs in a system. Additionally, Lenovo and NVIDIA will create next-generation systems based on the flexible NVIDIA MGX modular reference design to deliver a wide range of robust and secure solutions for the most demanding generative AI workloads and help businesses implement immersive simulations and cognitive decisions at scale with NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform for connecting and developing OpenUSD applications. The Lenovo solutions will also support the recently announced VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, enabling the hundreds of thousands of VMware customers to streamline adoption of generative AI,” the companies added.
