Lenovo Thinkagile Vx Appliances

Lenovo Group Ltd. is collaborating with VMware, Inc. to transform and simplify how customers manage data for their VMware virtualized landscapes and optimize data management as enterprise data continues to grow in scale and complexity. The integration and delivery of VMware vSAN Max with ThinkAgile VX Max appliances will deliver the next-gen of disaggregated storage, simplifying and accelerating virtualized data for AI, analytics and virtualized workloads. As the #3 WW server provider and #4 WW storage provider, the company is positioned to deliver performance-optimized, resilient solutions for VMware vSAN infrastructure.

As the growth of AI and analytics intersects with enterprise’s virtualized environments, new innovation is essential to managing the complexity and growth of VMware data. The ThinkAgile VX Max with VMware vSAN Max will deliver multi-petabyte storage that can independently scale performance and capacity as your vSphere environment grows. All of this will be delivered with integration and ease-of-use for VMware ecosystems unmatched by legacy solutions.

Need for unified scalable solution
As customers expand their footprint on VMware deployments, the need to consolidate and simplify operations on a broader scale is critical. In Lenovo’s Resilient CIO Global Study in 2023, 64% of customers identified managing increasingly fragmented IT vendors as a top challenge. The growth and scale of virtualized data in customer environments is driving the need for a more unified scalable solution. VMware vSAN Max will deliver simplified operations with a single interface across VMware vSphere storage environments and elastic independent scaling of storage to optimize resource utilization and lower TCO. The ThinkAgile VX Max solutions will deliver a range of all flash-optimized capacity and performance that are validated to be simple to deploy and manage with global advanced enterprise support.
