In recent years, as a new round of technology engine, artificial intelligence is promoting the digitalization and intelligent transformation and upgrading of global industries. The birth of ChatGPT has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of the industry!
The world's fastest consumer application growth record, accelerating global intelligent transformation
This year, ChatGPT has been attracting global attention, as a cutting-edge representative of the AI field, shocking the entire industry, it can not only write code, write poetry, but even complete academic papers. In just two months since its launch, it has gained 100 million monthly active users, making it the fastest growing consumer-facing app in history.
Moreover, driven by ChatGPT, US and European companies and mainland Internet companies are increasing their research on AI to accelerate the expansion of the AI market, such as the "2023 V1 Global AI Spending Guide" released by IDC mentioned that China's AI market spending is expected to increase to US$14.75 billion this year, accounting for about one-tenth of the world's total size.
At present, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has become an important driving force to promote the intelligent transformation of the global AI industry, for example, in the field of industrial manufacturing, AI technology can greatly improve production efficiency and quality in intelligent production, intelligent logistics, intelligent maintenance and other links; In the transportation field, through the intelligent voice solution, the manual review workload of customer service has been greatly reduced, and the accuracy rate of intelligent customer complaint handling has been greatly improved. The birth of ChatGPT allows intelligent upgrades to open the "acceleration" mode!
At the same time, with the rapid development of industrial intelligent transformation, the demand for AI computing power has also shown explosive growth, and it is estimated that the demand for computing power brought by the AI explosion will increase by 500 times in 2030 compared with 2020. Among them, edge computing has become a powerful technical foundation for industrial intelligent transformation and plays an increasingly important role by virtue of the advantages of "data processing closer to the data source and being able to process and analyze data in real time or faster".
For example, as a leading intelligent IT infrastructure provider in China, Lenovo provides strong computing power support for customers in edge scenarios with leading edge computing technology to help enterprises transform and upgrade intelligently.
Lenovo's leading technology helps the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the industry
Recently, Lenovo launched the ThinkEdge SE450 designed for edge AI, which is an edge server with abundant GPU resources, can support multiple GPU resources, and can carry AI workloads at edge nodes, suitable for a variety of artificial intelligence application scenarios, creating more efficient data analysis and decision-making capabilities for enterprises.
In terms of performance, Lenovo's ThinkEdge SE450 Edge Server delivers superior edge computing capabilities—designed to virtualize traditional IT applications and new transformative AI systems, delivering the processing power, storage, accelerators, and networking technologies required for today's edge workloads. At the same time, Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 leverages the AI advantages of enterprise and industry edge applications, and by directly mounting the AI platform to the edge side, it can obtain more efficient data analysis capabilities in a shorter time, while providing the best computing power, enabling enterprises to make real-time decisions at the edge.
In terms of manageability, Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 edge server is equipped with XClarity Controller, an enterprise-class embedded management engine, which supports XClarity Administrator, which can help IT operators efficiently maintain server, storage, and network infrastructure, and accelerate service delivery, reducing the time and labor consumption caused by sending IT staff to remote locations in the past, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. And, in addition to a dedicated wired network management port, the ThinkEdge SE450 delivers management over a secure wireless connection so IT managers can perform updates, manage tasks, and access sites even if the primary Ethernet connection is interrupted.
In terms of appearance design, the design is compact and easy to deploy. With a compact form factor, the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 Edge Server is designed to meet the deployment needs of edge locations. Designed as a single slot, the body is designed with a height of 2U and a short housing for easy portability: it can be hung on a wall, stacked on a shelf, or mounted in a rack.
In terms of durability, the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 edge server is rugged enough to withstand continuous operating temperatures from 5°C to 45°C, and some configurations meet NEBS Class 3 and ETSI requirements, operate at -5°C to 55°C for 96 hours, and withstand heavy dust and high vibration environments.
In terms of security, the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 combines ThinkShield functionality with a secure BIOS and optional tamper detection protection to ensure security at the edge. Lenovo integrates security throughout the supply, delivery, and lifecycle of the system. And, when it comes to connected security, the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 offers a variety of connectivity options with wired and secure wireless Wi-Fi, and reliability features such as wireless failover, redundant boot and data drive, high-temperature components, and support for hyperconverged clustering ensure critical edge workloads are up and running.
In addition, in terms of noise reduction, the unique noise reduction innovation also makes the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 a rare server product with strong performance and quiet on the market. Under professional acoustic testing, Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 has excellent sound level numerical performance, and the operating noise is generally less than 50dBA, which will not be uncomfortable when deployed in quieter indoor work scenarios, and can provide flexible and powerful edge computing power for different edge scenarios such as smart parks and smart stores.
Nowadays, major countries around the world have increased their investment in AI models such as ChatGPT to promote the in-depth development of the AI industry and intelligent transformation. In the future, as a leading intelligent IT infrastructure provider in China, Lenovo will fully release its accumulated strength in the field of edge computing, promote the practice and implementation of edge computing in various industries, and help accelerate the intelligent upgrading of industries.
