The biggest obstacles small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face in deploying IT are limited budget, insufficient expertise, and significant cybersecurity threats. Since every investment counts, SMBs can't afford to waste resources on slow or unproven IT solutions.
These challenges can hinder smooth scaling. Lenovo is responding with a three-part strategy for Lenovo 360 partners, introducing products and partnerships to help SMBs build the infrastructure and security needed for AI adoption.
Business Solutions Expand SMB Access to IT Infrastructure
Lenovo's announcement adds transformative IT infrastructure solutions for SMBs, offering pre-validated server bundles, software, and consumption-based pricing to simplify deployment and scaling with modern technology. Options include:
- Business-Ready Infrastructure in a Box: Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and Microsoft Hyper-V Ready Node solutions deliver cost-efficient, secure, and scalable IT. Powered by Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 V3 and ThinkSystem SR630 V4 servers, it consolidates multiple workloads into a virtualized environment, cutting costs while ensuring resilience.
- AI Edge-Ready Node: The compact and cost-effective ThinkEdge SE100, powered by Scale Computing's HyperCore™, is designed for lightweight edge deployments where modern applications need to run close to where business occurs.
- Business Protection in a Box: Storage-optimized configurations, such as the SR650 V3 or SR630 V3, with ThinkSystem Storage Arrays, support up to 55 virtual machines while keeping critical data and workloads protected.
Lenovo XClarity One, a protected cloud portal, unifies the bundles for centralized management and predictive maintenance. Lenovo utilizes Veeam for ransomware protection and rapid recovery, enabling business continuity without requiring specialized staff.
These solutions, built on reliable servers and forged through industry partnerships, simplify IT by offering lower costs and quicker results with no special teams or custom builds required. Ready for immediate use, they let you know what truly matters—serving your customers and driving innovation.
