Nvidia and Lenovo launch AI Express systems

Lenovo and Nvidia launched Lenovo AI Express, a joint solution designed to accelerate enterprise artificial intelligence infrastructure deployment. Announced in São Paulo on October 30, the system aims to reduce adoption hurdles such as extended delivery times and integration complexity, offering equipment deliveries starting at 15 business days for select configurations.

The offering serves as an entry path to the Lenovo Hybrid AI Factory with Nvidia and includes three setups compatible with AMD and Intel processors. The Small tier, delivered from 15 business days, uses the ThinkSystem SR650a V4 with two Nvidia RTX 6000 PRO Blackwell Server Edition GPUs for models with 7 billion to 70 billion parameters at over 30 tokens per second. The Medium option, available from 20 business days, uses the ThinkSystem SR675 V3 with eight Nvidia RTX 6000 PRO Blackwell Server Edition GPUs for models between 70 billion and 400 billion parameters. The Large configuration, available from 25 business days, handles generative AI models of up to one trillion parameters on the ThinkSystem SR680a V4 powered by the Nvidia HGX B300.

Companies can expand these setups with enterprise software, including Nvidia AI Enterprise and Red Hat AI Factory with Nvidia, alongside Veeam Kasten data protection. Lenovo cited data from its 2026 strategy guide for chief information officers showing that organizations moving from testing to production expect an average return of $2.79 for every $1 invested, with 93% anticipating positive returns.

Chris Marriott, vice president of enterprise platforms at Nvidia, stated that the solution combines Lenovo systems with Nvidia accelerated computing, networking, and software into turnkey packages to help companies deploy AI factories as demand grows.
