Description

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR868 (SKU: LENOVOSR868002) is a 4U enterprise rack server built for demanding data center workloads. It belongs to the SR800 series and targets high-performance computing, virtualization, and enterprise consolidation.

This configuration uses dual Intel Xeon Bronze 5220 processors and 64GB of TruDDR4 memory. As a result, it delivers balanced compute performance for mid-to-large-scale environments. In addition, the platform supports up to 4 processors and scales memory up to 6TB across 48 DIMM slots. This ensures strong future expandability.

The system offers flexible storage options. It supports up to 16× 2.5″ SAS/SATA drives or up to 8× NVMe SSDs. Moreover, it allows optional mirrored M.2 drives for OS boot. For networking, it includes 4×1GbE ports via a 730i adapter. Furthermore, it supports higher-speed connectivity such as 10/25/40GbE or InfiniBand through PCIe expansion.

The SR868 fits enterprise and cloud data centers. It works well as a virtualization host, database server, or analytics platform. Additionally, it supports technologies like VMware, Hyper-V, Intel Optane persistent memory, and Lenovo XClarity management.

For reliability, the system includes redundant 1100W hot-swappable power supplies. It also uses redundant cooling fans to maintain continuous operation. Finally, it provides up to 11 PCIe slots, which enable GPU support and advanced network expansion.
