Technical specifications
The following table lists the specifications of the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell GPU.
Server support
The following tables list the ThinkSystem servers that are compatible.
- Supported with 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors only
NVIDIA GPU software
This section lists the NVIDIA software that is available from Lenovo.
NVIDIA vGPU Software (vApps, vPC, RTX vWS)
Lenovo offers the following virtualization software for NVIDIA GPUs:
- Virtual Applications (vApps)
For organizations deploying Citrix XenApp, VMware Horizon RDSH or other RDSH solutions. Designed to deliver PC Windows applications at full performance. NVIDIA Virtual Applications allows users to access any Windows application at full performance on any device, anywhere. This edition is suited for users who would like to virtualize applications using XenApp or other RDSH solutions. Windows Server hosted RDSH desktops are also supported by vApps.
- Virtual PC (vPC)
This product is ideal for users who want a virtual desktop but need great user experience leveraging PC Windows® applications, browsers and high-definition video. NVIDIA Virtual PC delivers a native experience to users in a virtual environment, allowing them to run all their PC applications at full performance.
- NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (RTX vWS)
NVIDIA RTX vWS is the only virtual workstation that supports NVIDIA RTX technology, bringing advanced features like ray tracing, AI-denoising, and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to a virtual environment. Supporting the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs unlocks the best performance possible, so designers and engineers can create their best work faster. IT can virtualize any application from the data center with an experience that is indistinguishable from a physical workstation — enabling workstation performance from any device.
The following license types are offered:
- Perpetual license
A non-expiring, permanent software license that can be used on a perpetual basis without the need to renew. For each perpetual license, customers are also required to purchase a 5-year SUMS support contract. Without this contract, the perpetual license cannot be ordered.
- Annual subscription
A software license that is active for a fixed period as defined by the terms of the subscription license, typically yearly. The subscription includes Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS) for the duration of the license term.
- Concurrent User (CCU)
A method of counting licenses based on active user VMs. If the VM is active and the NVIDIA vGPU software is running, then this counts as one CCU. A vGPU CCU is independent of the connection to the VM.
The following table lists the ordering part numbers and feature codes.
NVIDIA Enterprise Software
Lenovo offers the NVIDIA Enterprise cloud-native enterprise software, comprised of NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE) and NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise. NVIDIA Enterprise is an end-to-end, cloud-native suite of AI and data analytics software, optimized, certified, and supported by NVIDIA to run on VMware vSphere and bare-metal with NVIDIA-Certified Systems™. It includes key enabling technologies from NVIDIA for rapid deployment, management, and scaling of AI workloads in the modern hybrid cloud.
NVIDIA Enterprise is licensed on a per-GPU basis. NVIDIA Enterprise products can be purchased as either a perpetual license with support services, or as an annual or multi-year subscription.
- The perpetual license provides the right to use the NVIDIA Enterprise software indefinitely, with no expiration. NVIDIA Enterprise with perpetual licenses must be purchased in conjunction with one-year, three-year, or five-year support services. A one-year support service is also available for renewals.
- The subscription offerings are an affordable option to allow IT departments to better manage the flexibility of license volumes. NVIDIA Enterprise software products with subscription includes support services for the duration of the software’s subscription license
The following table lists NVIDIA Enterprise license part numbers and feature codes.
For more information, see the NVIDIA Enterprise Sizing Guide.
