At the NVIDIA GTC event held in San Jose, California, in March, Lenovo brought together a diverse group of industry leaders to explore how they're leveraging Lenovo’s hybrid AI technologies in partnership with NVIDIA. These innovations are driving transformation across sectors such as customer service, hospitality, retail, automotive, healthcare, and manufacturing.
As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, spending on AI is projected to nearly triple by 2025 compared to last year. This growth reflects both the promise and the pressure facing organizations: as investments rise, so do expectations for measurable results. IT leaders are now tasked with navigating the complexities of AI while maximizing returns and implementing scalable solutions across hybrid infrastructure.
To support these leaders, Lenovo is introducing its Hybrid AI Advantage—developed with NVIDIA—into enterprise environments. These new offerings enable rapid deployment of agentic AI, tailored to different scales of business. They convert enterprise data into actionable AI insights, improving productivity and reducing operational costs within a short timeframe.
Scalability and increasing technical debt often hinder AI adoption. Lenovo addresses these challenges with its newly developed AI use-case solutions, built on a next-generation agentic AI platform powered by NVIDIA. This platform offers an integrated approach combining hardware, software, and services to simplify the deployment and maintenance of AI workloads. In addition, Lenovo and NVIDIA are collaborating on standardized, validated hybrid AI factories that improve operational efficiency and reduce overall business expenses.
Empowering AI with NVIDIA Blackwell
AI applications are rapidly expanding to include areas like content creation, customer engagement, data management, design, and productivity. To meet these growing demands, companies require high-performance computing capabilities. The evolving complexity of AI models and the need for real-time processing are straining traditional data centers.
By integrating Lenovo’s Hybrid AI Advantage with the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, businesses can fully tap into AI capabilities within their data infrastructures. This includes accelerating simulations, analyzing data, and enabling real-time design and visualization. The Blackwell platform enhances AI training, data processing, and engineering simulations at scale.
In Germany, Lenovo partnered with the Technical University of Darmstadt to launch the first NVIDIA GB200 project. This initiative features Lenovo’s energy-efficient ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune systems, powered by advanced liquid-cooling technologies and designed to support large-scale scientific research. The project enhances the university’s Lichtenberg NHR-Stage 1 supercomputer with cutting-edge Grace-Blackwell technology.
Unveiled at GTC, the SC777 V4 Neptune server supports AI models with trillions of parameters using a compact, fully liquid-cooled design. This innovative system minimizes energy use by eliminating traditional cooling fans, reducing power consumption by up to 40%. It marks a major step toward more efficient, high-density data centers in the AI era.
AI Advancements in Healthcare
Lenovo is also helping healthcare providers apply AI for better patient outcomes. In Mexico, the healthcare software firm AISHA—a spin-off from the country’s largest private hospital network—implemented Lenovo and NVIDIA’s hybrid AI solution to enhance MRI analysis. With AI running on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and NVIDIA GPUs, AISHA dramatically reduced MRI scan analysis time to just 30 minutes, a process that previously took hours. This rapid analysis supports timely, high-quality care across their growing hospital network.
Smarter Manufacturing with AI Vision
At GTC, Lenovo presented an AI-powered quality control system for manufacturers. Developed with Trifork, a leader in vision-based AI, the solution uses Lenovo’s infrastructure to automate defect detection. It can identify flaws like broken or discolored candy and provides real-time analytics through an interactive dashboard. This significantly cuts inspection costs and boosts operational efficiency.
Together, Trifork and Lenovo are advancing predictive maintenance, performance monitoring, and seamless integration between IT and operational systems to speed up time-to-market and ensure quality standards.
Key benefits of the solution include:
Vision-based monitoring for real-time quality assurance and customer satisfaction. High-performance analytics for translating vast operational data into actionable insights. Seamless IT-OT integration to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, spending on AI is projected to nearly triple by 2025 compared to last year.
