Lenovo, NVIDIA fast-track enterprise AI

Lenovo has launched AI Express, a new program developed with NVIDIA that promises faster delivery of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, with eligible server configurations shipping in as little as 15 business days.

The program aims to help businesses move AI projects from experimentation to production by offering prevalidated hardware configurations, software options and deployment support.

According to Lenovo’s 2026 CIO Playbook, 93 percent of surveyed enterprise executives expect positive returns from AI investments, with an anticipated average return of $2.79 for every dollar invested.

However, lengthy procurement processes, integration challenges and infrastructure requirements remain barriers to implementation.

“Organizations are navigating today’s complexity and constraints to get AI into production faster, looking for an approach that fits their current needs while giving them the ability to scale as those needs evolve,” said Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, president of Lenovo’s Infrastructure Solutions Group.

“Lenovo AI Express gives our customers an accelerated path to deploying AI infrastructure to fit their specifications while mitigating the risk of overbuilding or costly delays.”

The program offers three configurations under Lenovo’s Hybrid AI Factory platform with NVIDIA.

The entry-level configuration uses a ThinkSystem SR650a V4 server with two NVIDIA RTX 6000 PRO Blackwell GPUs, designed for AI applications serving tens of users. Eligible orders can ship in as little as 15 business days.

The midrange option supports hundreds of users through a ThinkSystem SR675 V3 server equipped with eight NVIDIA RTX 6000 PRO Blackwell GPUs, with shipment timelines starting at 20 business days.

For larger organizations, Lenovo offers a ThinkSystem SR680a V4 powered by NVIDIA HGX B300, designed for enterprise-scale AI workloads, with shipping starting at 25 business days.

The systems support AMD and Intel processors and can be paired with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Red Hat AI Factory and Veeam data protection solutions.

Lenovo is also offering deployment assistance, performance optimization and proactive maintenance through its expanded server support services.

“As AI agents reshape every industry, enterprises need purpose-built infrastructure that can efficiently turn their data into intelligence,” said Chris Marriott, vice president of enterprise platforms at NVIDIA.
