Lenovo launches its first compact AI inference server: the size is reduced by 85% and can be hung on walls and ceilings

At MWC2025, Lenovo's hybrid AI solution ThinkEdge SE100 was officially unveiled. This is also Lenovo's first entry-level AI inference server, which is cost-effective, sustainable and scalable.According to reports, ThinkEdge SE100 has successfully bridged the gap between client servers and edge servers, providing enterprise-level AI services for various enterprises and becoming a key link to promote the implementation of AI.

ThinkEdgeSE100 is the most compact AI-ready edge computing solution currently on the market. Its size is 85% smaller than that of traditional servers, but its performance is still strong.

It supports GPU-based artificial intelligence tasks such as real-time reasoning, video analysis, and object detection, and is suitable for a variety of scenarios such as telecommunications, retail, industry, and manufacturing.

The device can be equipped with up to 6 or 8 performance cores, exerting powerful performance in a smaller size, providing enterprises with efficient, flexible and reliable AI support.

ThinkEdgeSE100 supports hybrid cloud deployment and machine learning, which can help various industries improve efficiency, optimize workflow, and complete tasks such as target detection and text recognition through AI functions while ensuring data security.

ThinkEdge100 features a rugged design with dust filtering and tamper protection, and can effectively fend off external threats and protect sensitive data by disabling security features such as USB ports and disk encryption.

This server is designed with flexibility in mind and can be deployed in a variety of scenarios such as desktops, walls, ceilings, and 1U racks, greatly expanding its application scenarios.

While providing strong performance, ThinkEdge SE100 also effectively reduces the total cost of ownership. Even when the GPU is fully configured, the system power consumption of the device can still be controlled within 140 watts, thereby achieving lower energy consumption.

In addition, with its unique energy-saving design, it can reduce overall carbon emissions by up to 84%, and its packaging uses 90% recyclable materials, significantly reducing carbon emissions during transportation.

It is understood that Lenovo has the largest edge computing infrastructure portfolio in the industry and has shipped more than one million edge systems globally, firmly leading the industry. Lenovo has achieved edge business revenue growth for 13 consecutive quarters and continues to expand the application scope of AI computing.
