Define your data
centre future with HCI
solutions from Lenovo

Tomorrow’s data centres are being designed today – with fluid resources that adapt and scale responsively as business needs evolve. When managed as a service through tightly-integrated software and hardware, computing resources are easier to deploy and manage.

ThinkAgile appliances from Lenovo are the time machines bringing that future forward.
Simplify infrastructure
Lenovo hyperconverged infrastructure disappears into the background, so you can focus on your core business.
Eliminate IT silos
Using many kinds of servers, hypervisors, and storage requires IT departments to spend most of their time on maintenance. Lenovo hyperconverged infrastructure helps merge these silos, reducing complexity.
Scale flexibly
Each Lenovo ThinkAgile appliance powered by Intel® technology is a flexible building block of fully integrated and tested compute, storage, and preloaded virtualization management software. This enables scale-out clusters to easily support your growth.
The guide explains the benefits of HCI for enterprise and SME-sized organisations, providing a clear step-by-step pathway for beginning the migration to a more scalable, more manageable, more nimble IT footing.

Nutanix feature

How Nutanix makes IT infrastructure invisible

Nutanix software is at the heart of Lenovo ThinkAgile appliances. It harmonises the entire data centre stack – including compute, storage, storage networking and virtualisation – into a single system (e.g. a node) deployed in scale-out clusters.

Nutanix hyperconvergence software is built on the principle that the most transformative technologies are the ones we don’t even think about. We rarely notice them. They just work, enabling us to focus on more important things.

With Lenovo HX Series powered by Nutanix software, IT infrastructure becomes invisible. You can focus on running your business instead of fixing problems.
