The SR950 V3 scales from 2 to 8 x 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (LGA 4677 socket), each supporting up to 60 cores at 350W TDP. The modular 2-bay chassis design enables field expansion from a 4-processor to 8-processor configuration. Up to 480 total CPU cores are available in the fully populated 8-socket configuration.
192 DIMM slots across 8 processor nodes support TruDDR5 at 4800 MHz with 3DS RDIMM modules up to 256 GB per slot, enabling maximum memory capacity of 48 TB. This in-memory footprint supports the very largest SAP HANA OLAP environments, massive Oracle in-memory databases, and research workloads.
The SR950 V3 provides up to 24 PCIe expansion slots distributed across the 8-socket chassis — providing I/O bandwidth for GPU accelerators, InfiniBand HDR HCAs, NVMe host bus adapters, and 100/200/400GbE network adapters for the most demanding HPC and database workloads.
The SR950 V3 uses a modular 4U + 4U chassis design that allows deployment starting with 4 sockets and field upgrade to 8 sockets — enabling organisations to deploy at required capacity and expand without forklift upgrades. This pay-as-you-grow model reduces initial capital expenditure.
Predictive Failure Analysis monitors all major subsystems — CPUs, DIMMs, PCIe slots, fans, PSUs, drives, and voltage regulators — issuing advance warnings of component degradation before failure. Hot-swap drives, fans, and N+N redundant power supplies ensure continuous operation.
XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2) provides comprehensive hardware lifecycle management — firmware updates, hardware health, remote KVM, Redfish API — with native XClarity Administrator, VMware, and Microsoft management integration. ThinkShield hardware Root of Trust with PFR provides firmware integrity for regulated enterprise environments.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 V3 represents the pinnacle of Lenovo's enterprise rack server portfolio — an 8-socket x86 platform that delivers unprecedented scale-up compute, memory, and I/O capacity for the most demanding mission-critical workloads.
With support for up to eight 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors delivering up to 480 total cores, and 192 DIMM slots providing up to 48 TB of TruDDR5 memory, the SR950 V3 is designed for workloads that cannot be distributed or scaled horizontally — SAP HANA at maximum scale-up configurations, Oracle Database with Exadata-class in-memory performance, and large analytics engines.
The modular chassis design enables deployment starting from 2 or 4 processors and field expansion to 8 processors without hardware replacement — protecting the initial capital investment. Up to 24 PCIe expansion slots provide the I/O bandwidth for GPU accelerators, InfiniBand HCAs, and high-speed networking.
Enterprise reliability is anchored by full Predictive Failure Analysis across every subsystem, N+N redundant power and cooling, and XClarity Controller 2 remote management. ThinkShield hardware Root of Trust and PFR deliver firmware integrity for compliance-sensitive regulated environments.
The SR950 V3 supports the largest SAP HANA OLAP scale-up configurations — up to 48 TB in-memory for analytics and reporting on the full enterprise data set without horizontal sharding.
Up to 480 CPU cores and 48 TB shared DDR5 memory across 8 NUMA domains provides enterprise Oracle RAC and SQL Server performance at maximum scale for financial services, ERP, and CRM environments.
Up to 24 PCIe slots for GPU and InfiniBand acceleration, combined with 480 cores and 48 TB shared memory, delivers an HPC compute node capable of hosting the largest single-node scientific and engineering simulations.
