Product Guide

The Lenovo ThinkServer RD450, with up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors, is a versatile, 2U two-
socket server that blends outstanding flexibility and expandability.
With as much as 1TB of memory, it supports double the capacity of the previous generation. Because the
RD450 uses DDR4 memory, you get up to a 50 percent boost in performance and up to a 45 percent
increase in power savings over previous generation memory, enabling your applications to run faster and
more efficiently.
These gains, coupled with the RD450's highly flexible design, make it perfect for your infrastructure,
collaboration and line-of-business applications, as well as web serving or hosting.
The following figure shows the ThinkServer RD450.

The RD450 is now also better managed with new support for Lenovo XClarity Administrator. Improved
systems management means greater remote management capabilities for increased reliability and uptime.
The ThinkServer RD450 delivers impressive compute power per watt and incorporates energy-smart
features for minimized costs and efficient performance. The 80 PLUS Titanium power supply units (PSUs)
can deliver 96% efficiency at 50% load.

    Lenovo XClarity Administrator Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource management solution designed to reduce complexity, speed response, and enhance the availability of Lenovo systems and solutions. Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management for ThinkServer, System x, and Flex System servers. The administration dashboard, shown in the following figure, based on HTML 5, allows fast location of resources so tasks can be run quickly.
  • Page 29 Figure 7. Lenovo XClarity Administrator dashboard Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not include any agent software that is installed on the managed endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution and no memory is used, which means that up to 1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed system where an agent is required.
