Lenovo ThinkSystem SR850 V2
The ThinkSystem SR850 V2 is Lenovo's high-density 2U four-socket enterprise server powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Cooper Lake, 5300/6300/8300HL series). Engineered with 6 UPI links per CPU in a full mesh topology, 48 DDR4-3200 DIMM slots, and support for up to 24 direct-connect NVMe SSDs, it is specifically optimized for mission-critical in-memory workloads like SAP HANA, Oracle Database clusters, and dense virtual machine consolidation. Its compact 2U form factor saves 50% rack space compared to standard 4U quad-socket chassis. Second-hand buyers should confirm that processor steppings are identical across all sockets, inspect the upper processor tray connectors, and verify that high-wattage power supplies and performance fans are present.
