Lenovo just announced its largest storage portfolio refresh in company history, and channel partners should take note!

The new Lenovo Data Storage Solutions empower enterprise IT to thrive in the age of AI, enhancing efficiency, performance, security, and scalability—all of which are crucial for today's businesses looking to capitalize on AI investments.

The complete portfolio of AI-optimized storage includes storage arrays, software-defined infrastructure (SDI), and innovations in AI and virtualization to meet evolving data operation needs. Lenovo 360 partners can use these solutions to help businesses run AI and data modernization workloads on Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile infrastructure, enabling real-time reasoning and large-scale deployment.

Solutions for Enterprise AI, Virtualization, and Sustainability​

This refreshed portfolio includes 21 innovative ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile models specifically designed with the accelerated computing and efficiency needed to support AI workloads. With faster inferencing capabilities, workload consolidation, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and a focus on sustainability, the new Data Storage Solutions enable businesses to maximize their data's potential. With Lenovo's latest offerings, partners can help clients save money while ensuring their virtualization costs are manageable.

Among the new announcements is the Lenovo ThinkAgile SDI V4 Series. This full-stack turnkey device simplifies IT infrastructure and accelerates computing, enhancing the time to value for large language model (LLM) workloads. The company also announced the new Lenovo ThinkSystem Storage arrays, which are three times faster than previous models, use less power, and offer a 99 percent density improvement when upgrading from legacy products. These improvements translate to significant savings on licensing and overall infrastructure costs.

AI-Ready Infrastructure from Edge to Cloud

Lenovo's new AI Starter Kits for its Hybrid AI Platform combine pre-validated infrastructure – including GPUs, compute, storage, and networking – into one easy-to-manage package to support core AI workflows such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and LLM inferencing. These ready-to-go kits eliminate complexity and reduce deployment time, allowing Lenovo 360 partners to offer comprehensive solutions that meet diverse client needs.

Scaling Innovation with Enhanced Security

Modern enterprise data demands more than capacity—it demands secure, intelligent infrastructure that fuels real-time insights without compromise. Lenovo's comprehensive refresh has integrated advanced features like autonomous ransomware protection and software-based encryption into its storage arrays. These enhancements elevate cyber resiliency and help businesses safeguard their data assets, essential in today's digital landscape. 

As the industry increasingly shifts towards AI-driven operations, channel partners must align with providers like Lenovo that are committed to innovation and excellence. Lenovo's Data Storage Solutions addresses the evolving demands of modern data centers and positions you to deliver robust, future-proof offerings to your clients.
