2019: Announcement of the strategy for developing solutions for the "smart" infrastructure of peripheral data centers

On May 14, 2019, Lenovo and Lenovo DCG presented a global strategy for developing solutions for a smart peripheral data center infrastructure. Lenovo's strategy is based on the idea of ​ ​ modernizing data centers, finding ways to improve the efficiency of key IT operations that make up the main load on the data center's computing power, and developing peripheral technologies when the bulk of computing shifts closer to the data source.

The first Lenovo product created as part of this strategy was server ThinkSystem SE350.

A strategic partnership between Lenovo DCG and Microsoft has also been announced, aimed at developing complete IoT solutions. As part of the collaboration, it is planned to combine Microsoft's extensive portfolio of cloud solutions with Lenovo's hardware and software solutions. Now customers deploying artificial intelligence applications in the Microsoft Azure cloud can use the full range of hardware solutions for the Internet of Things developed by Lenovo, with the ability to quickly scale if necessary.

According to Lenovo representatives, connecting the physical and digital worlds using wearable devices, sensors, cameras, built-in computers and other Internet of Things nodes, business can speed up transformation processes and learn how to effectively use its most valuable assets - data.

Lenovo's smart hardware and software solutions target two large segments:

• Retail. The use of IoT technologies in the retail sector is not limited to interaction with customers. With big data and the ability to analyze it, retail chains can create new revenue channels. In this area, Lenovo solutions help to unify operations, optimize the supply chain and implement such new items as self-service cash desks, customer identification using artificial intelligence, and much more.
• Industrial production. Industrial IoT technologies solve problems such as predictive maintenance and adjustment of schedules in real time; they help improve processes related to material efficiency, automation and quality control. The strategy of shifting computing infrastructure power to the periphery of the network requires investment, but as a result, savings are achieved at literally every production site.
