Infrastructure downtime is a problem for IT operations. Unplanned service outages of even a few minutes can quickly disrupt network operations and end-user productivity, driving down operations and revenue.
Your business and your end-users, customers, business partners, and suppliers all expect uninterrupted access to data resources, regardless of time or location. Downtime is always costly.

Why Lenovo in the Data CenterSUPPLY CHAIN
Industry Leading Scale and Efficiency for Customer Value
Lenovo is the only global technology provider that offers mobile phones, tablets, PCs, and data center solutions. Lenovo owns its own server manufacturing facilities around the world, giving us greater control over both product quality and supply chain operations. Our scale and manufacturing efficiency enable us to drive the best quality, supply chain security, and manufacturing costs in the industry, which we pass on to you.

“Lenovo is helping us by maintaining the original pricing model as we expand the cluster—making it easier to encourage new groups to get more ‘bang for their buck’ by investing in Arcus rather than in their own smaller clusters."
