Today, remote locations are forced to make a choice between underpowered IOT gateways and PCs, or overpowered and non-rugged data center servers. Now they have an option—a right-sized compact edge server designed specifically to meet the needs of remote locations, as well as the right processing power to run AI workloads.
The Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 is a 1-socket 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Platinum processor-based server, with a 2U height and short depth case that can go almost anywhere. It can be hung on a wall, stacked on a shelf, or mounted in a rack. This rugged edge server can handle continuous operating temperatures from 5°C and 45°C; and some configurations are designed to meet NEBS Level-3 and ETSI requirements for 96 hours operating excursions from -5°C and 55°C as well as tolerance to locations with high-dust and vibration.
The ThinkEdge SE450 is designed to virtualize traditional IT applications as well as new transformative AI systems, providing the processing power, storage, accelerator, and networking technologies required for today’s edge workloads. Lenovo’s innovation makes the ThinkEdge SE450 one of the most powerful, yet quiet servers on the market, allowing it to be deployed next to end users without disturbing the workplace.
Secure, Connected and Reliable
At Lenovo, security begins with design and continues through supply chain, delivery, and the full lifecycle of the system.
Edge locations command special attention for security of the data and device itself. That’s why the ThinkEdge SE450 is delivered with ThinkShield capabilities, loaded with a secure BIOS and optional tamper detection protection for extra security at the edge.
The ThinkEdge SE450 provides numerous connectivity options with wired and secure wireless Wi-Fi capabilities. Reliability features such as wireless failover, redundant boot and data drives, high temperature components and support for hyperconverged clustering keep critical Edge workloads running.
Agility and Remote Manageability
It is costly and time consuming to send IT staff to remote sites. The ThinkEdge SE450 features XClarity Controller, an enterprise-grade embedded management engine. It also supports XClarity Administrator, which enables IT managers to efficiently maintain server, storage, and networking infrastructure and accelerate services provisioning.
In addition to a dedicated wired networking management port, the ThinkEdge SE450 can deliver management over a secure wireless connection so IT managers can perform updates, management tasks, and access sites even when the primary Ethernet connection is down.
