Accelerate AI initiatives, modernize data center infrastructure and support demanding technical workloads
Why AMD EPYC + Lenovo?
Organizations need infrastructure that can keep pace with evolving workloads while remaining adaptable to changing business priorities.
AMD EPYC™ 9005 and 9004 Series processors, combined with Lenovo's flexible server portfolio, provide a powerful foundation for:
- AI-ready infrastructure planning
- High-performance computing (HPC)
- Technical and engineering workloads
- Data center modernization
- CPU-based AI inference
- Virtualization and consolidation
Lenovo delivers the deployment flexibility organizations need across a wide range of environments, while AMD EPYC provides the performance, scalability and efficiency required for today's most demanding workloads.
Arrow helps partners translate these technologies into customer solutions through architecture guidance, technical enablement, and deployment support.
Three AMD EPYC opportunities for Lenovo partners
1. AI infrastructure foundation: Build the platform that powers AI
Successful AI initiatives depend on more than accelerators. They require a strong infrastructure foundation capable of supporting compute-intensive workloads, high memory demands and growing data volumes.
AMD EPYC processors provide the CPU platform that helps organizations prepare for AI while giving partners the flexibility to align infrastructure with customer goals.
Ideal for:
- AI readiness assessments
- Infrastructure modernization
- AI training and inference environments
- Data-intensive applications
Key insight:
Preparing for AI starts with the right infrastructure strategy—not just the right hardware.
How Arrow helps
Our specialists work with partners to:
- Assess workload requirements
- Build baseline architectures
- Align infrastructure with business objectives
- Accelerate solution validation
2. HPC and technical computing: Scale demanding workloads with flexibility
Engineering, research, analytics and technical computing environments require consistent performance and scalable infrastructure.
AMD EPYC processors running on Lenovo platforms provide a flexible compute foundation designed to support a broad range of technical workloads while giving partners the freedom to build solutions that fit diverse customer environments.
Ideal for:
- Engineering simulations
- Scientific research
- Data analytics
- Technical computing clusters
- Compute-intensive enterprise applications
Key insight:
The strongest HPC projects begin with the right architecture and workload planning.
How Arrow helps
Arrow enables partners to:
- Scope technical computing environments
- Validate workload requirements
- Recommend optimized infrastructure
- Reduce deployment risk
3. CPU-based AI inference: A practical approach for the right AI workloads
Not every AI deployment requires dedicated accelerators. For many inference workloads, AMD EPYC processors offer a cost-effective, operationally simpler alternative that can meet performance requirements while reducing infrastructure complexity.
Ideal for:
- Edge deployments
- Cost-conscious AI initiatives
- Existing data center
- Organizations prioritizing operational simplicity
Key insight:
The right AI solution depends on the workload—not every inference project needs GPUs.
How Arrow helps
Arrow helps partners quickly determine whether CPU-based inference is the right fit through workload qualification, architecture guidance and technical expertise.
