Lenovo ThinkAgile VX7576
Lenovo's 2-socket 2U ThinkAgile VX Certified Node (base MTM 7D43CTO2WW, built on the ThinkSystem SR665) for one or two AMD EPYC 7003 "Milan" processors, with up to 32 DDR4 DIMM slots (4 TB max) and mixed 2.5"/3.5" hot-swap bays (up to 35 x 2.5" SAS/SATA, 16 x 3.5" SAS/SATA, or 32 x 2.5" NVMe). Unlike the otherwise near-identical VX7575, it adds 3.5" drive support and GPU support, making it Lenovo's flagship VX Certified Node for VMware vSAN hyperconverged deployments.
