“With our old servers we often had to make compromises, like running smaller models or ones with lower resolution, in order to make sure jobs completed on time. With Lenovo and AMD, there are fewer limits: we can run simulations without compromise and get results much faster than before.”
With complex design and engineering projects demanding ever-growing amounts of high-performance computing (HPC) resources, DAR decided to supercharge its capabilities with all-new Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and AMD EPYC™ processors—achieving up to 5x faster performance.
Customer Problem
Taking on increasingly ambitious projects and complex simulations, design and engineering teams at DAR were close to maxing out the group’s existing HPC infrastructure.
Lenovo Solution
DAR upgraded to an HPC cluster based on next-gen Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 V3 servers, each equipped with 64 AMD EPYC™ 9554 CPU cores.
Business Impact
The Lenovo-AMD infrastructure has unlocked 3-5x faster performance in a server footprint that’s 50% smaller than DAR quoted for and 50% more cost-efficient than an equivalent cloud option.
