Lenovo has announced an agreement with Anaconda Inc, a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and data science platforms, to empower Lenovo’s high performance data science workstations. The partnership will couple Lenovo’s Intel-powered ThinkStation and ThinkPad workstation portfolio heritage and leadership with Anaconda’s enterprise strengths in open-source, security, and reliability.
► Combination of technologies will streamline data science workflows
► Anaconda open-source OS available for use on Lenovo Workstations
Generative AI is opening up new opportunities for businesses and data scientists and much of the AI innovation is being driven by open-source software and cloud-based solutions, with Python being a leading software language for AI applications. However, the data security risks associated with using open-source software at an enterprise level, privacy concerns and often prohibitive cost of cloud-based AI solutions, are causing many organizations to rethink their approach to investment in AI development.
With Intel-powered Lenovo workstations architected with the latest generations of professional NVIDIA GPUs built for large-language model fine-tuning, and the Anaconda Navigator’s ability to enable businesses to leverage open-source and AI with enhanced security, scale, and governance mechanisms in place, the partnership allows data scientists to create and deploy AI solutions with first class hardware and enterprise-grade AI software support within a more manageable investment framework.
Optimised for Intel platforms, Lenovo’s new generation of data science workstations deliver remarkable AI performance. It includes highly-configurable systems designed for nearly every AI workflow, industry or vertical, size and price point – all architected to drive the future of AI forward in an agile and cost-efficient way. From single CPU and GPU mobile workstations that are ideal for data input, collection and preparation, to the most powerful dual CPU and four GPU configurations for advanced AI workflows, Lenovo workstations with Anaconda Navigator offer protected “sandbox” environments to tackle the most complex AI solution development and deployment.
With more than 45 million users, the Anaconda operating system provides access to the foundational open-source Python packages used in modern AI, data science and machine learning. It is now available for download to use on current and future generation Lenovo Workstations.
