Lenovo’s New Cascade Lake ThinkSystem Servers: Up to 8 Sockets with Optane

Along with other OEMs, Lenovo is also updating its Xeon Scalable server offerings to Intel’s new processor family, Cascade Lake, and is also offering some Optane variants as well. Lenovo’s announcement is unique in two ways: by offering a large eight-socket implementation with up to 448 threads and 24 TB of Optane DC Persistent Memory, and also offering its systems through Lenovo TruScale, its recently announced consumption based compute-as-a-service way of interacting with Lenovo’s product offerings.
