ThinkSystem

ThinkSystem is a line of enterprise computing hardware from Lenovo that encompasses servers, storage systems, and networking gear designed for data centers. The ThinkSystem family was introduced after Lenovo's 2014 acquisition of IBM's x86 server business, and it superseded the System x and System p brands to form Lenovo's main server portfolio. ThinkSystem servers cover rack-mount, blade, and tower formats and are built for demanding workloads such as virtualization, databases, analytics, and cloud-scale deployments. They support modern processors from Intel Xeon Scalable lines and, in some configurations, AMD EPYC, with options aimed at reliability, scalability, and energy efficiency.

ThinkSystem Storage offers a range of storage solutions, including all-flash and hybrid arrays, as well as direct-attached, SAN, and NAS configurations. These arrays are designed to provide performance, data protection, and manageability for enterprise workloads, often with support for NVMe and software-defined options.

ThinkSystem Networking provides data center switches and related infrastructure intended for campus-to-core networks, with configurations that cover various Ethernet speeds and compatibility with modern SDN approaches.

Management and integration are supported by Lenovo software such as XClarity, which provides centralized monitoring and provisioning for ThinkSystem hardware. ThinkAgile, a related family, combines ThinkSystem servers with virtualization and software-defined storage or networking to enable converged or hyper-converged infrastructure.

Lenovo positions ThinkSystem as a competitive option for enterprises and service providers, alongside rival brands such as HPE ProLiant and Dell EMC PowerEdge, and emphasizes reliability, serviceability, and global support.
