Lenovo has announced new ThinkSystem servers built on 6th Generation AMD EPYC 9006 processors, new storage arrays and expanded Hybrid AI services aimed at organisations running AI and high-performance computing side by side. The range was announced on 10 November 2026.
The ThinkSystem SC755 is a dual-socket server cooled by Lenovo Neptune liquid cooling. Lenovo says it is designed to remove up to 100% of system heat through water and deliver up to 40% higher sustained performance than similar air-cooled systems, based on its internal testing, which could cut reliance on evaporative air conditioning and water use at scale. Lenovo Dynamic Partitioning lets customers convert two dual-socket systems into single-socket ones and back. The ThinkSystem SR755 targets virtualisation, engineering, financial modelling, electronic design automation and agentic AI, with an emphasis on memory bandwidth and lower power draw than dual-socket configurations.
On storage, the ThinkSystem DE6800 is aimed at high-throughput block workloads and the DE6500 at lower-cost performance with simpler deployment. Lenovo has also validated Cornelis CN5000 fabric as an interconnect option for AI and HPC clusters.
The services side is broader. Hybrid AI Factory Services add GPU deployment, configuration and optimisation, with multi-node support across Red Hat AI, NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Run:ai. Gigafactory services bring NVIDIA Infrastructure Services expertise for cluster validation at larger scale. Lenovo can now also arrange colocation space through Digital Realty's data centres, with the Digital Realty Innovation Lab available to validate AI infrastructure, and TruScale Infrastructure as a Service for financing.
Scott Patti, vice president of Infrastructure Solutions Group at Lenovo, said: "AI and high-performance computing are converging around a simple customer need: the ability to turn increasingly complex workloads into real outcomes". Lenovo cited the University of Florida's fourth-generation HiPerGator, which delivers 17.49 PFLOPS, and DreamWorks Animation, which reports up to 20% greater rendering performance on Neptune liquid-cooled servers.
Lenovo is showing the range at booth 3023 at SC26.
