- Supports processors with up to 28 cores, core speeds up to 3.6 GHz, and TDP ratings up to 165 W
- Two processors in each server, up to 56 cores total, and 112 threads maximize the concurrent execution of multithreaded applications
- Intelligent and adaptive system performance with Intel Turbo Boost technology 2.0 allows CPU cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond processor thermal design power (TDP)
- Intel Hyper-Threading technology boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core
- Intel Virtualization technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads
- Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) enable acceleration of enterprise-class workloads, including databases, and enterprise resource planning
- Each processor has six memory channels with memory speeds of up to 2666 MHz to maximize system performance
- Supports up to 16 DIMMs to maximize memory capacity, supporting up to 1 TB with 16x 64 GB LRDIMMs and two processors
- The 12 Gbps SAS internal storage connectivity doubles the data transfer rate of 6 Gb SAS solutions, to maximize performance of storage-intensive applications
- Each SD530 server supports up to six 2.5-inch hot-swap drives
- The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of, or along with, traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) can improve I/O performance
- PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion capabilities improve the theoretical maximum bandwidth by 60% compared with the previous generation of PCI Express 2.0
- With Intel Integrated I/O technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon processor E5 family, which reduces I/O latency and increases overall system performance
- Planned support for up to two Intel or NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) to maximize computing power
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SD530 is an ultradense and economical two-socket server in a 0.5U rack form factor. With four SD530 servers installed in the ThinkSystem D2 Enclosure, you have an ideal high-density 2U four-node (2U4N) platform for enterprise and cloud workloads.
2U4N systems have gained popularity in a variety of data centers, from large enterprises to service providers, because their small footprint and inherent density make them ideal for building solution-based appliances at a low cost. The combination of the Lenovo ThinkSystem SD530 and D2 Enclosure is engineered to deliver these types of solutions.
