Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 is an ideal 2-socket 2U rack server for small businesses up to large enterprises that need industry-leading reliability, management, and security, as well as maximizing performance and flexibility for future growth. The SR650 server is designed to handle a wide range of workloads, such as databases, virtualization and cloud computing, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), enterprise applications, collaboration/email, and business analytics and big data.

Featuring the second generation of Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (Xeon SP Gen 2), the SR650 server offers scalable performance, storage capacity, and I/O expansion. The SR650 server supports up to two processors and up to 3 TB of memory, up to 24x 2.5-inch or 14x 3.5-inch drive bays with an extensive choice of drive technologies, and flexible I/O expansion options with a LOM slot, a dedicated storage controller slot, and up to 6x rear PCIe expansion slots.

The SR650 server offers basic or advanced hardware RAID protection and a wide range of networking options, including selectable LOM, ML2, and PCIe network adapters. The next-generation Lenovo XClarity Controller, which is built into the SR650 server, provides advanced service processor control, monitoring, and alerting functions.
