Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers Other Advice

Adalberto Giaretta - PeerSpot reviewer

I'm not sure which exact version of the server we're using. It might be 630 and 650. They are the latest offerings. 

These are good solutions that come at an average price. The product is reliable. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a special business relationship with Lenovo.

I'd advise new users that, if they are looking for a more resilient and reliable server to run any critical applications on, I would choose either HP or Dell. They also offer better support and better response time. While HP and Dell servers may cost a little more, you get more value for your money.

In general, I would rate the solution at a five out of ten.

Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers is like buying a Volkswagen, which is a good car, but there are always better cars for which you have to pay more. It is a good product that offers value for money. It is not the best and most stable tool in the market, but it is good enough for my company.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

For those planning to use the solution, I advise them first to check their actual requirements. Then, they should learn from their team which product they are most comfortable with since adaptability is key. Adaptability may vary from person to person and from organization to organization. For example, if your existing team is accustomed to Dell and I introduce Lenovo to them, it may feel like an intrusion. In short, people's adaptability differs. Most system failures are due to humans, as we don't always follow proper procedures and steps to operate the solution. Based on my experience, the system never fails, and humans fail to operate the tool properly. With that being said, I recommend the solution to others. 

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I don't have any suggestions for others to use it since the product was already present when I joined my current organization. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

The documentation provided by Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers is good.

There is no need to pay for the maintenance of the solution. Three people are enough for the maintenance of the solution.

The product is easy to use.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

The general usage of the hardware itself is a level of education that you get during the process of the initial setup and further maintenance of the servers. That alone is very valuable. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. I cannot give it a higher rating because the perfect solution does not exist.

My advice to new users is not to focus too much on benchmark indicators for servers. The key is finding servers that align with your specific application needs and optimizing them for performance, regardless of the brand. It is more about how well the servers suit your applications than just the brand's performance claims. Overall, I would rate Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers as an eight out of ten.

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with Lenovo.

Normally, we are not using the latest version of the solution due to the fact that they are too expensive. We are a university and we have to look for how much money we use. Therefore, often we end up buying some refurbished machines or some equipment from IBM, from Lenovo, etc., which we get at reasonable prices.

Everything is on-premises and we have our own private cloud with these machines.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at a nine.
