Lenovo Professional Services Partnering With Data Dynamics

Data Dynamics, Inc. announced their partnership with Lenovo Professional Services to offer Lenovo ThinkSystem DM Series file migration services powered by StorageX.

ThinkSystem DM Series

The service provides customers with an enterprise file migration service option that can be ordered with the purchase of ThinkSystem DM Series storage.

File migration from legacy systems to new platforms can provide many challenges to companies as Gartner estimates that 50% of data migrations fail in one or more of the following areas: 

• Over budget
• Overrun project schedule
• Do harm to the business.  

The problem is only getting worse over time as unstructured data growth continues unabated and post Covid-19 IT budget constraints do not allow for failure.

The ThinkSystem DM Series file migration service gives Lenovo customers the ability to eliminate the headaches and risks associated with file migration as well as improve the time to value of their ThinkSystem DM Series storage system purchase.  Lenovo Professional Services file migration experts coordinate with customers to plan and execute the migration of legacy file data to their ThinkSystem DM Series storage platform.

With data driving most organizations, enterprises are investing heavily into building a strong data strategy that aligns with their business goals to remain competitive in their industry. The partnership brings together valuable capabilities in business and technology to help support clients through digital and business transformation.

“Many storage vendors focus solely on selling the storage and not on helping customers gain the maximum value from their purchase by allowing them to struggle with migrating their legacy file data because it is too hard,” says Cuong Le, SVP of operations. “This offering addresses this issue and provides organizations with the ability to have their data available for them where they need it and when they need it. It’s a prime example of collaborating to help customers accelerate innovation, execute on a digital data strategy, and drive down cost. We are happy that Lenovo Professional Services has chosen our StorageX solution, which is part of our Unified Unstructured Data Management Platform, which also provides enterprise solutions for metadata analytics, archive, replication & sync (file to file, file to object), and DSF management.“

“In today’s growing digital economy, data is evolving and is forcing businesses to be strategic in their approach to managing, storing, and protecting their data across trusted storage platforms,” said Kamran Amini, VP and GM of data center and software-defined infrastructures, Lenovo. “Our customers are keenly aware that their data is an invaluable asset. Lenovo’s collaboration with Data Dynamics enables customers to not only protect but more effectively harness those assets as a strategic part of their Intelligent Transformation by creating optimized data environments with Lenovo’s award-winning storage and Data Dynamics’ StorageX offering.“

Used today by 26 of the Fortune 100 companies, StorageX has optimized 350+PB of storage, saving more than 170 years in project time and $170 million in total storage costs.
