LENOVO Flex technology
Main characteristics
- Advanced, integrated technology that helps customers grow and adapt with the power of the IT industry
- Sufficient flexibility to run multiple types of applications, operating systems and processors, while also supporting a wide variety of performance and environmental requirements
- Use of advanced system management tools - such as the LENOVO XClarity software, which is suitable for the full management of the LENOVO Flex solution
Blades/Nodes - the new IT paradigm
The shift towards a blade server environment is not just a matter of form factor. IBM quickly transformed the industry with the release of the BladeCenter in November 2002, taking the lead in mindshare technology through its innovative modular design. This technology was purchased and further developed by LENOVO. So before you start thinking about another server, consider a new architecture based on FLEX technology. The unique, modular design provides simplicity, flexibility and control over the systems.
Flexible Connection
Offering a wide range of integrated switching options, FLEX technology eliminates the need to purchase additional KVM, Ethernet and Fiber Channel switches – and the associated cumbersome and expensive cabling work. BladeCenter leads the industry in flexibility and choice. It can be perfectly integrated into the existing infrastructure, while providing a complete blade solution. There is no need to change specific business practices and management techniques, and network suppliers simplify the switch to the blade environment, and the likelihood of problems causing production downtime is reduced.
If the idea of introducing Flex technology arises,
It is worth knowing that there is far more at stake here than just density.
Optimize the work of IT managers with incredibly effective monitoring tools!
Why should you have to manage hundreds - or even thousands - of separate servers, network and storage switches, when all of this can be replaced with a solution consisting of only dozens of LENOVO Flex frames?
