Lenovo could improve its solution for blade servers. Many customers are still using blade servers. They are providing solutions for blade servers, but they have now moved on to completing the virtualization-based system. They have incorporated ESXi and have a joint venture with ESXi Solutions, and we are dealing with them.

It's very power-efficient and allows you to access the rack server directly without accessing the operating system on that server. They use XClarity Controller to access the server and monitor the status of the server.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers have incorporated much of the technology from IBM, including several patent innovations. One is Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA), a feature that highly benefits customers, allowing them to determine failing parts and components. Additionally, Lenovo has introduced Lenovo XClarity and XClarity Orchestrator, tools that enable the management of multiple servers on a single console. The solution can be easily deployed and configured, and it can take care of the health of your servers. A feature known as Call Home alerts the service center in case of failing components. One of the main advantages of this tool is its ease of use, as it is a GUI-based tool needing a simple and easy configuration. These features are among the most important advantages of this solution.

I like everything about this solution. It is a very good server, with excellent availability. The size of the power is adequate and the low heating is beneficial.

HP and Dell servers have multi-house technology that is really easy to use. We don't experience any problems with logging or gathering hardware information. The rest of the technical and software stuff is absolutely the same no matter the manufacturer. So, from a technical perspective, it is the same.

The general purpose of this hardware is the same, the functionality is the same, it just goes by a different name. As I mentioned, the stability of the server itself is a benefit for me; it's more reliable now.

They have taken over from IBM, which was the market leader. They have taken a lot of technology from IBM, and IBM always delivered very powerful hardware to the IT industry compared to Dell EMC or anyone else. They basically have a bit of an upper hand on the technology compared to any others in the market.

The solution is stable.

Setting up the product initially is simple.

It has good integration. You have VMware for connecting many machines, and you can support microservices. You can also easily connect the networks. 

It is also very easy to use and implement, and it comes with good support.

The IMM tool is great because we can upgrade different views and device versions very quickly. We can upgrade everything from a single point through a single dashboard, which is great for us because we also have Lenovo storage. Lenovo ThinkSystem also has Xclarity built into the system.
