Lenovo Launches Two Cloud Tiering Solutions
ThinkAgile MX1021: Instant Access to Edge Data
DM7100, offering hybrid cloud capabilities


With the advancement of IoT and 5G, the amount of data generated, analyzed, stored, and managed from the edge to the core is growing explosively.

Lenovo Data Center Group unveiled the ThinkAgile MX1021 and ThinkSystem DM7100 on the 2nd. These two servers provide cloud tiering solutions for enterprises building end-to-end applications based on Microsoft Azure.

The ThinkAgile MX1021 leverages Azure Stack HCI solutions to enable enterprises to move computing to the edge and use data immediately where it is generated.

For retailers looking to reduce inventory loss, real-time insights into relevant customer sentiment analysis data can help proactively address potential issues. Additionally, edge servers can collect sensor data during the manufacturing process to enable real-time monitoring, thereby improving the efficiency and productivity of manufacturing plants.

It can also be utilized in the healthcare sector. When organizations combine the ThinkAgile MX1021 with Azure Stack Hub and Azure IoT Hub, they can tier medical data and improve the efficiency of clinical, customer, and operational analytics.

The ThinkSystem DM7100 All-Flash Array and Hybrid Flash enterprise-class storage solutions accelerate mission-critical applications with end-to-end NVMe technology and provide secure, integrated hybrid cloud capabilities available with solutions from Microsoft Azure and other public cloud providers.

Customers can access all-flash performance with integrated Azure cloud tiering capabilities, deploying and deploying Azure-powered applications under consistent, on-premises data management. Users can reduce their data footprint by up to 66% with enterprise data space-saving features within the cloud environment.

For retailers, all-flash NVMe storage can improve transaction rates. This is because collected data can be utilized for business purposes, such as managing real-time inventory information or accelerating e-commerce transactions to shorten customer delivery times. Adopting NVMe technology can improve data analysis speeds by up to 30%, providing a competitive edge in relevant markets.

Both products are protected by Lenovo ThinkShield and available through Lenovo TruScale, a pay-per-use data center.
