Lenovo has introduced new data storage solutions to accelerate IT modernization in the AI era

Lenovo announced the largest update to its data storage solutions portfolio, including storage arrays, software-defined storage, SDI, and innovations in AI and virtualization. These solutions enable businesses to seamlessly run AI workloads and data modernization processes on Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile next-generation infrastructure, ensuring real-time reasoning and confident AI operations at any scale.

The portfolio includes 21 new ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile models with enhanced efficiency and computing power. These enterprise AI, virtualization, and resilience solutions help companies begin their AI journey, increase employee productivity, and maximize the benefits of implementation.

Among them:

— Lenovo ThinkAgile SDI V4 Series — turnkey solutions that simplify IT infrastructure, accelerate AI computing when working with heterogeneous data sources, and reduce the time required to evaluate LLM workloads

— new Lenovo ThinkSystem Storage Arrays, designed for faster access to current data in business operations. They provide three times higher performance while reducing power consumption by up to 97%, helping to reduce data center footprint and lower total cost of ownership due to a 99% increase in storage density compared to previous Lenovo solutions based on 10K HDDs. The efficiency is particularly noticeable when upgrading legacy infrastructure.

— GPT-in-a-Box solutions on Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series with Lenovo Neptune™ liquid cooling use hyperconverged devices for AI inference, turning conceptual developments into scalable distributed cloud applications. This allows reducing power consumption by 25%, accelerating return on investment, and implementing a data-driven approach to decision-making

— AI Starter Kits for Lenovo Hybrid AI Platform are pre-configured infrastructure solutions designed to simplify and accelerate the deployment of enterprise AI. These configurations include computing, storage, graphics processing units, and networks that can scale according to organizational needs

— new ThinkSystem storage arrays offer unified file, block, and object storage, eliminating data silos and using high-performance SSD flash drives to reduce time to insight

— kits also include autonomous AI-based protection against ransomware, encryption, and synchronous replication with automatic failover handling, ensuring maximum uptime.

The new generation of Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile solutions includes data protection tools such as snapshots with anti-tamper protection, TPS, and encryption software. ThinkSystem DG and DM storage arrays offer autonomous AI-based protection against ransomware, using ML models for proactive threat detection and reducing attack risks.

Lenovo solutions and technologies, combined with technical support from Lenovo Premier Enhanced Storage Support, provide businesses with a personalized approach and fast response times, enabling organizations to confidently implement AI and apply innovations without being constrained by legacy infrastructure.
