With the Lenovo ThinkServer RD650, you can run more workloads than ever before. Built with the latest Intel® Xeon® processors E5-2600 v4 Series (up to 44 cores per system), expansive memory capacity, and flexible storage configurations and I/O options, the RD650 can easily be tailored to your business needs. For example, the RD650 offers a unique hybrid storage option with nine 3.5-inch and six 2.5-inch drive bays in the front and two 2.5-inch drive bays in the back—ideal for tiered storage environments. With up to 100TB of local storage capacity, the RD650 is also excellent for database, data analytics, and video streaming workloads.
