Lenovo EveryScale (formerly Lenovo Scalable Infrastructure or LeSI)

Lenovo EveryScale (formerly named Lenovo Scalable Infrastructure, LeSI) is a framework for designing, manufacturing, integrating and delivering data center solutions, with a focus on High Performance Computing (HPC), Technical Computing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) environments.

Lenovo EveryScale provides Best Recipe guides to warrant interoperability of hardware, software and firmware among a variety of Lenovo and third-party components.

Addressing specific needs in the data center, while also optimizing the solution design for application performance requires a significant level of effort and expertise. Customers need to choose the right hardware and software components, solve interoperability challenges across multiple vendors, and determine optimal firmware levels across the entire solution to ensure operational excellence, maximize performance, and drive best total cost of ownership.

Lenovo EveryScale reduces this burden on the customer by pre-testing and validating a large selection of Lenovo and third-party components, to create a “Best Recipe” of components and firmware levels that work seamlessly together as a solution. From this testing, customers can be confident that such a best practice solution will run optimally for their workloads, tailored to the client’s needs.

In addition to interoperability testing, Lenovo EveryScale hardware is pre-integrated, pre-cabled, pre-loaded with the best recipe and optionally an OS-image and tested at the rack level in manufacturing, to ensure a reliable delivery and minimize installation time in the customer data center.

With Lenovo EveryScale, customers can focus their efforts on maximizing their business value, instead of consuming valuable resources to design, optimize, install, and support the infrastructure required to meet business demands. Whether the need is for a small AI training solution, a mid-sized HPC cluster, or the world’s largest supercomputers, customers can take advantage of the decades of Lenovo experience, innovation, and expertise in solution deployment with EveryScale. EveryScale delivers optimized IT solutions to the customer pre-integrated, pre-loaded, and tested, and ready to install, increasing time-to-value and reducing deployment risk.

On top of their individual warranty and maintenance scope or support entitlement, Lenovo EveryScale offers solution-level interoperability support for HPC and AI configurations based on the above selection of Lenovo ThinkSystem portfolio and OEM components.

The extensive testing results in a “Best Recipe” release of software and firmware levels Lenovo warrants to work seamlessly together as a fully integrated data center solution instead of a collection of individual components at the time of implementation.

To see the latest Best Recipe for Lenovo EveryScale, see the following link:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/HT505184#5

The Solution Support is engaged by opening a hardware ticket based on the Lenovo EveryScale Rack (Model 1410) or Lenovo EveryScale Client Site Integration Kit (Model 7X74). The Lenovo EveryScale Support team then will triage the issue and recommend next steps for you, including potentially to open tickets with other components of the solution.

For issues that require debugging beyond hardware and firmware (Driver, UEFI, IMM/XCC) an additional ticket will have to be opened with the software vendor (e.g. Lenovo SW Support or 3rd party SW vendor) to assist working towards a fix. The Lenovo EveryScale Support team will then work with the SW Support team in isolating root cause and fixing the defect.

For more information about opening tickets, as well as the scope of support for different Lenovo EveryScale components, see the Lenovo EveryScale Support Plan information page.

When a cluster ships the most recent Best Recipe is its compliant version, which is always defined exactly for that specific EveryScale release and the cluster is delivered as a solution of that specific release. Using a Support call clients can request a review if their solution is also compatible with a newer Best Recipe release and if it is, are able to upgrade to that while maintaining solution interoperability support.

As long as a cluster (Model 1410, 7X74) is under Lenovo warranty or maintenance entitlement, full solution interoperability support will be provided for the original Best Recipes. Even when newer Best Recipes are available the previous Recipe will remain valid and supported.

Of course, any client is free to choose to not adhere to the Best Recipe and instead deploy different software and firmware versions or integrate other components that were not tested for interoperability. While Lenovo cannot warrant interoperability with those deviations from the tested scope, a client continues to receive full break & fix support for the components based on the individual warranty and maintenance entitlement of the components. This is comparable to the level of support clients will receive when not buying it as a Lenovo EveryScale solution, but building the solution from individual components – so-called “roll your own” (RYO).

In those cases, to minimize risk we suggest still staying as close as possible to the Best Recipe even when deviating. We also suggest when deviating first to test it on a small portion of the cluster and only roll it out completely if this test was stable.

For clients who need to upgrade the firmware or software of a component – for example due to OS entitlement support issues or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) fixes – that is part of the best recipe, a support call should be placed on the 1410/7X74 rack and serial number. Lenovo product engineering will review the proposed changes, and advise the client on the viability of an upgrade path. If an upgrade can be supported and is performed, Lenovo EveryScale will note the change in the support records for the solution.

Lenovo Services is a dedicated partner to your success. Our goal is to reduce your capital outlays, mitigate your IT risks, and accelerate your time to productivity.

Note: Some service options may not be available in all countries. For information about Lenovo service upgrade offerings that are available in your region, contact your local Lenovo sales representative or business partner.

Before you can deploy any new device or autonomous agent in a real-world environment, organizations need to understand how they will behave in the physical world. This can be achieved through first simulating the change in a digital twin. Digital twins must be physically accurate representations of their real-world counterparts. True-to-life simulations require precision timing, ensuring synchronization across the physical and digital worlds with interactions occurring within the same real-time space for all actors in the simulation.

Lenovo and NVIDIA have worked together to deliver real-time remote work and Digital Twin capabilities through the Lenovo EveryScale OVX solution enabled by NVIDIA Omniverse™ Enterprise software and Lenovo ThinkSystem™ platforms leveraging the latest NVIDIA GPU accelerators and networking.

For more information, see the OVX Solution Brief.
