Full stack + intelligence, Lenovo Huitian edge hardware products released
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data technologies, computing power is sinking from centralized cloud computing to the edge side closer to the user application environment, showing a new trend of “edge-cloud integration” and “ubiquitous” . In this context, edge devices not only have to carry a variety of computing power requirements, but also face practical challenges such as harsh working environments and complex interface protocols.
Based on in-depth insights into industry trends and user needs, Lenovo has integrated core technologies in the field of servers and commercial intelligent terminals to create a product family for edge computing – Lenovo Huitian intelligent edge products, which comprehensively cover industrial computers, embedded computers, Industrial all-in-one machines, intelligent edge gateways, edge servers and other hardware devices meet the needs of all walks of life with different computing power and various product forms.
Lenovo Huitian-Intelligent Edge Product Family
At the same time, in order to better promote the implementation of edge-side computing power, Lenovo Huitian intelligent edge products integrate three core technical advantages. First of all, in the face of complex and diverse equipment application environments, Lenovo Huitian’s entire line of intelligent edge products have innovated in terms of system structure, not only using liquid cooling solutions and high-power passive heat dissipation designs to broaden the ambient temperature and voltage levels supported by the equipment, and optimize It is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof, so that the device can still provide reliable computing power in harsh environments. Secondly, the product family supports heterogeneous computing capabilities and can be flexibly matched with different accelerator cards to adapt to various application scenarios such as network acceleration and AI acceleration. Finally, Lenovo Huitian intelligent edge products mostly adopt scalable modular design, which can support different industries and scenarios, and realize rapid customization according to user needs to improve the application efficiency of edge computing. Based on the support of core technologies, the Lenovo Huitian intelligent edge product family has the significant advantages of adapting to harsh external environments, covering a variety of scenarios, and realizing flexible customization, broadening the applicable scenarios of computing power, and consolidating the creation of ubiquitous new computing power Base.
Edge cloud fusion, Lenovo edge cloud activates edge intelligence
Unlike centralized computing and standardized environmental facilities owned by data centers, edge computing devices are often deployed in remote areas such as mountains and mines, and lack on-site personnel management and perfect security protection. At the same time, in the face of massive data from edge scenarios, the device needs to support the rapid calculation of data with a stable system, and synchronize it to the data center in real time to achieve cloud-edge collaboration.
To solve these challenges, Lenovo Edge Cloud came into being. As a software system that can remotely manage edge computing infrastructure, Lenovo Edge Cloud not only realizes more secure, full-lifecycle edge application management, but also effectively improves the uniformity and intelligence of central management, thus exploring cloud-edge collaboration reliable path. This innovative breakthrough is due to the four major technical advantages of Lenovo Edge Cloud: First, it adopts lightweight hybrid virtualization technology, which greatly optimizes the system startup time and memory usage, and the optimization degree is 60% higher than the industry ; Second, it supports a fully converged infrastructure, which can effectively reduce the implementation cost of customers; third, the system uses remote intelligent operation and maintenance technology, which can monitor, manage and troubleshoot full-stack edge hardware, platforms and applications Diagnosis; Finally, Lenovo’s lightweight edge computing security technology provides devices with secure and credible edge encryption computing guarantees, further enhancing system stability.
Lenovo Edge Cloud
In addition, Lenovo has specially launched an edge-cloud all-in-one machine for industrial application scenarios, which integrates the leading technologies of edge hardware terminals and edge cloud platforms to bring flexible computing power configuration and application. The edge integrated machine has built-in lightweight edge security protection, supports traditional virtual machine applications and modern cloud-native applications, realizes flexible construction and expansion of edge clusters from one node to multiple nodes, and provides more convenient configuration for edge computing power support.
Accelerating application landing, Lenovo’s edge brain helps digital and intelligent transformation
In addition to hardware and software support, edge computing power and artificial intelligence also need to solve the application problem of edge intelligence in the process of landing. Traditional artificial intelligence application development faces three major challenges: difficult sample collection, complex model construction, and slow adaptation and replication, which often lead to problems such as long model development cycles, untimely demand response, and reduced intelligence accuracy. In response to these pain points, Lenovo has built Lenovo Edge Brain, which uses four subsystems: the edge dynamic model training system, the cloud management low-code AI solution development system, the edge management model rapid batch deployment system, and the edge inference acceleration system to realize the edge-side artificial intelligence model. rapid build, deployment, development and application.
associative limbic brain
Not only that, Lenovo Limbic Brain also continuously improves the application efficiency of artificial intelligence through three core technologies – through the lifelong learning technology of small samples, Lenovo Limbic Brain can shorten the model training period by up to about 80%; Inference acceleration engine, the platform can optimize mainstream chip operators and increase inference performance by up to 10 times; based on low-code artificial intelligence solution generation and deployment technology, cloud-side end can achieve collaborative management, reducing total procurement costs by up to 45% , the remote deployment time can be saved by up to 75%. These technologies have also been applied to Lenovo’s artificial intelligence all-in-one machine, providing more convenient edge computing power support for dynamic model training, safety production, vehicle analysis and other fields through the combination of hardware and software facilities and various product forms.
The integrated development of computing power is inseparable from technological breakthroughs and innovations, and it is also inseparable from the strong cooperation of partners inside and outside the industry. In recent years, Lenovo has actively cooperated with industry partners in manufacturing, communications, retail, finance, energy, education, transportation, etc. to closely cooperate in terms of technological innovation and industry insights to provide end-to-end customized products and services that meet customer edge computing needs. Program. Today, Lenovo has entered thousands of industries, covering automated production lines, store monitoring, park security, smart classrooms, road management and many other scenarios, helping thousands of industries to transform into digital and intelligent.
Lenovo’s edge computing power empowers thousands of industries
In the future, the coordinated development of cloud computing and network technology will become an unstoppable technology trend. As an industry-leading provider of intelligent infrastructure, Lenovo takes the lead in the field of edge computing, and builds full-stack intelligent edge computing solutions through innovative software and hardware products and services, enabling new computing infrastructure to be ubiquitous and digital intelligence Cover every corner and create a new era of digital intelligence!
