How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Everything in Retail
This podcast explores how AI solutions—a combination of data management, connectivity, edge computing devices, and software—can create powerful results. Experts from NVIDIA, Lenovo, and Connection cover real-world examples of how retailers are getting their return on investment and what strategies have been successful in delivering strong business outcomes.
Lenovo Workstations
Lenovo’s workstations enable retail analysts, designers, and operations specialists to work with statistical models, data visualization, and graphic design. They combine advanced components with patented cooling and diagnostic features, while built-in tools enable users to optimize performance for their preferred software applications.
Lenovo ThinkStation P520
This most powerful single-CPU workstation supports retail data analytics and modeling tasks. The Tri-Channel cooling system separates air between three areas inside the machine, so you can configure up to 2x NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 or Quadro GP100 graphics cards in this relatively compact 33L device. For digital signage, add an NVIDIA NVS card to manage up to eight displays. 2x FLEX Trays—front-mounted storage bays—can accommodate a range of storage, media, or connectivity port options.
Lenovo ThinkStation P620
Imagine your business being able to visualize, compute, and create on a system that delivers unparalleled ROI. Lenovo has partnered with AMD to create the world’s first and only AMD Threadripper Pro workstation—delivering a dual-CPU experience in a single-processor system that is performance-tuned and ISV certified for multithreaded application environments. Choose from rich configuration options. Add up to four high-end or two ultra-high-end NVIDIA RTX graphics cards to maximize GPU-based solutions.
Lenovo ThinkStation P920
For the highest computational power, the P920 ThinkStation is perfect for running intensive apps for rendering, simulation, visualization, deep learning, or artificial intelligence. This 55L workstation supports up to 56 processing cores from two Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Configure with five NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, massive memory arrays across 16 DIMMs, and up to 12 storage drives.
Lenovo Edge Computing
At Lenovo, they understand how the edge is changing, and that is why they’re taking an equally progressive approach to their solutions. That means more than remarketing compact computers and calling them “edge” devices. It means committing to the category and engineering devices specifically for the evolving tasks at the edge. Lenovo knows the edge and what you need in a device portfolio to allow you to harness the power of the future, today.
