factor. With four sd350 servers installed in the ThinkServer n400 enclosure, you have an ideal high-density
2U four-node (2U4N) platform for enterprise and cloud workloads.
2U4N systems have gained popularity in a variety of data centers, from large enterprises to service
providers, because their small footprint and inherent density make them ideal for building solution-based
appliances at a low cost. The combination of the Lenovo ThinkServer sd350 and n400 Enclosure is built to
deliver these types of solutions.
Suggested use: Cloud, MSP, CSP, HPC, hyperconverged solutions, branch office or remote office needs
