Lenovo has announced a broad suite of new data storage, virtualization solutions, and data management services designed to help enterprises and mid-sized businesses modernize IT infrastructure and prepare for AI-driven workloads. The offerings include new Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile solutions alongside complementary data management services, providing a unified foundation to deploy, manage, and maximize the value of enterprise data.
Modern enterprises face significant challenges in preparing their data for AI. According to Gartner, 63 of organizations either lack or are unsure about having the right data management practices for AI. At the same time, IDC reports that 80 of storage deployed in the past five years relies on slower, hard drive-based systems that are not optimized for AI. Lenovo's new solutions aim to address these gaps by delivering open, flexible, and high-performance infrastructure for virtualization and AI workloads.
