Lenovo to Bring First VMware’s Edge Software Solutions to Market

Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group announced that it will be the first to bring VMware’s edge software solutions to market on robust ThinkSystem SE350 edge servers.

The new solution is delivered directly to the client edge site with the VMware software solution preloaded on a pair of robust and secure ThinkSystem SE350 computers.

In addition, Lenovo has announced an update to its Lenovo open cloud automation management software.

This automates the design, implementation, and ongoing management of your data center cloud deployment to the edge location. As a result, organizations can now use the same management platform to design cloud and edge infrastructure solutions for their data centers.

“To increase business continuity and improve application and user experience, hybrid cloud models are being deployed in both the cloud and the edge.

The new solution announced today supports this hybrid model. Charles Farland, Vice President and General Manager of Lenovo ISG’s Edge Computing and Communications Services Provider, said: “You can save up to half of the servers you normally need and take full advantage of the ThinkSystem SE350’s built-in network capabilities to further remove other network elements at your edge sites.”

This solution simplifies the network with built-in switching and wireless connectivity, eliminates the need for external network devices at the edge, and enables smoother and more seamless operation.

As a result, VMware customers can order this integrated, preloaded bundle to enjoy the same environment they need in their data center directly at the edge.

This new solution is ideal for remote sites that need to be closer to creating data and closer to users such as retail stores, manufacturing sites, and schools.

Deploying remote edge sites requires a set of management tools that allow organizations to automate tasks without specialized onsite staff.

Lenovo has enhanced its open cloud automation software solution to add edge-supporting capabilities and reduce time to value for managed customers.

This single interface automates the planning, deployment, and ongoing lifecycle management of the physical and virtual infrastructure needed to host cloud applications in data centers and thousands of edge sites. ..
