Partners will leverage Lenovo ThinkSystem's high-performance AI-ready server and storage portfolio with the Nokia Data Center networking solution, encompassing data center fabric, IP routing, and DDoS security portfolios, along with the recently announced Event-Driven Automation (EDA) data center networking platform. The combined solutions will help meet the demanding processing and network performance requirements of modern workloads. As AI models are trained, data centers for inference will be needed where AI clusters are networked both within data centers and with each other at the edge, requiring high-speed, reliable, and secure interconnectivity.
Integrating these portfolios with a validated blueprint architecture enables seamless automation of AI/ML and compute-intensive workloads with enhanced observability, programmability, and extensibility—crucial for adapting to dynamic environments. Both Nokia and Lenovo's portfolios feature built-in security solutions that detect and thwart security threats in real time, essential for combating the scale and frequency of cyberattacks. Furthermore, both companies focus on energy-efficient designs that reduce power consumption and operating costs while promoting sustainability—a key concern for data centers.
