According to recent data from industry analyst firm, Forrester,
for 2016, U.S. enterprises are allocating only 29 percent of their
tech budgets to new project spending and 45 percent of the balance
to ongoing operations and maintenance, keeping the lights on, and
maintaining the status quo.1 This partnership brings together
Lenovo’s world-class server technology, rated number one in
reliability2 and customer satisfaction3, with Nimble’s innovative
All Flash storage offerings and InfoSight™ Predictive Analytics as
a means to address this issue, enabling the IT professional to
spend less time on maintenance and more time innovating. In the
first wave of these offerings, Lenovo today announced its
ThinkAgile™ CX series of converged infrastructure solutions, which
has storage capabilities powered by Nimble Predictive All Flash
arrays.
Lenovo plans to integrate its XClarity™ infrastructure
management software with Nimble InfoSight which leverages
predictive analytics to automate the support experience. The two
companies will work together in creating “self-healing” system
management capabilities across the entire data center
infrastructure, including storage, compute, and networking. The
alliance promises to increase data center resiliency through early
problem identification and automated intervention across the
infrastructure stack. The result is expected to provide IT
professionals the opportunity to redeploy resources from day-to-day
maintenance tasks to strategic revenue-generating projects that
will create value and drive business growth.
The first offerings that will benefit from the Lenovo-Nimble
partnership will be the ThinkAgile CX Series solution available on
October 28.
