Lenovo Enhances Deep Partnership With VMware, Introducing New Edge-to-Cloud and AI Solutions

Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) introduced new, first-to-market edge-to-cloud and AI solutions in partnership with VMware that provide massive scalability and enable business agility for VMware environments. At VMworld 2021, Lenovo showcased how businesses of all sizes can address the demand for a more agile IT infrastructure in response to business changes. Additionally, Lenovo highlighted the continued expansion of its Lenovo TruScale  as-a-Service hybrid cloud solutions.

New ThinkAgile VX Solution for SAP HANA and Enhanced ThinkAgile VX Integrated System

Lenovo unveils the industry’s most scalable, vSAN-certified SAP HANA solution for HCI environments with its 8-Socket, ThinkAgile VX Certified Node. Running SAP applications in the cloud while keeping control of data is critical in today's hybrid cloud world. Working with SAP and VMware, Lenovo provides a massively scalable SAP HANA certified on VMware vSAN ReadyNode solution. Lenovo’s 12 TB 8S VX solution provides management simplicity, greater scalability, and cost savings, enabling enterprise customers with large SAP HANA databases to leverage hyper-converged infrastructure for their SAP HANA platform.

Lenovo’s updated ThinkAgile VX Integrated System, fully integrated with vSphere Lifecycle Manager (VLCM), provides significant TCO savings for the customer’s vSAN environment. The newly enhanced ThinkAgile VX Integrated System provides operational transparency via simplified deployment to proactively monitor and manage cluster health and uptime. With zero touch automated updates and built-in intelligence for configuration setting, customers can experience 75% reduction in time to deploy vSAN. This smarter HCI solution provides greater intelligence, automation, agility and simplicity, enabling customers with more efficient hybrid cloud operations and management.

Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Enterprises

Lenovo delivers an expanded portfolio of ThinkSystem servers, designed for Analytics and AI workloads with NVIDIA AI Enterprise and VMware vSphere 7. The optimized Lenovo ThinkSystem AI-ready servers provide best-in-class performance for AI workloads – delivering up to 20x performance improvement over previous generation systems. Customers in manufacturing, retail, finance, healthcare and other industries, can deploy with confidence and scale without compromise.

Expanding Lenovo TruScale Portfolio for VMware

Recently announced at Lenovo Tech World 2021, Lenovo TruScale Hybrid Cloud with VMware HCI is a hyperconverged infrastructure cluster solution that hosts virtualized workloads and their storage in a hybrid environment that combines the security of on-premises infrastructure with cloud services. With this turn-key hybrid-cloud solution based on Lenovo's best-in-class ThinkAgile VX Integrated System HCI platform and industry-leading VMware Cloud Foundation full stack HCI software, enterprise customers can now benefit from a managed as-a-Service hybrid cloud for running their business applications, while leveraging a consumption-based price model. With this solution, Lenovo will become a VMware Cloud Provider Partner (VCPP), offering VMware Cloud Verified solutions. With VMware SaaS solutions included in our everything-as-a-service portfolio, Lenovo provides full as-a-service and software subscription consumption models for customers transitioning from perpetual license models to consumption models, but doing so at their own pace.

To help customers implement local, hybrid, or multi-cloud solutions with optimal agility and flexibility, Lenovo is committed to delivering its everything-as-a-Service model from the device to the data center, from edge-to-cloud, while leveraging its global partner ecosystem and channel-first commitment. Extending Lenovo TruScale as-a-Service solutions, delivering Edge innovations, massively scalable SAP HANA on vSAN, Enterprise-Ready AI, and a new, game changing ThinkAgile VX appliance highlight the power of what Lenovo and VMware are doing together to help our customers transform their business for the next reality.

Leostream Enhances Security and Management of vSphere Hybrid Cloud Deployments

Business Wire | January 29, 2024

Leostream Corporation, the world's leading Remote Desktop Access Platform provider, today announced features to enhance security, management, and end-user productivity in vSphere-based hybrid cloud environments. The Leostream platform strengthens end-user computing (EUC) capabilities for vSphere users, including secure access to both on-premises and cloud environments, heterogeneous support, and reduced cloud costs. With the Leostream platform as the single pane of glass managing EUC environments, any hosted desktop environment, including individual virtual desktops, multi-user sessions, hosted physical workstations or desktops, and hosted applications, becomes simpler to manage, more secure, more flexible, and more cost-effective. Significant ways the Leostream platform expands vSphere’s capabilities include: Security The Leostream platform ensures data remains locked in the corporate network, and works across on-premises and cloud environments, providing even disparate infrastructures with the same levels of security and command over authorization, control, and access tracking. The Leostream platform supports multi-factor authentication and allows organizations to enforce strict access control rules, creating an EUC environment modeled on a zero-trust architecture. Multivendor/protocol support The Leostream platform was developed from the ground up for heterogeneous infrastructures and as the connection management layer of the EUC environment, the Leostream platform allows organizations to leverage vSphere today and other hypervisors or hyperconvergence platforms in the future as their needs evolve. The Leostream platform supports the industry’s broadest array of remote display protocols, including specialized protocols for mission-critical tasks. Consistent EUC experience The Leostream platform enables IT to make changes to the underlying environment while ensuring the end user experience is constant, and to incorporate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OpenStack private clouds into their environment without disruptions in end-user productivity. By integrating with corporate Identity Providers (IdPs) that employees are already familiar with, and providing employees with a single portal they use to sign in, the Leostream platform offers simplicity to users too. Connectivity The Leostream Gateway securely connects to on-prem and cloud resources without virtual private networks (VPNs), and eliminates the need to manage and maintain security groups. End users get the same seamless login and high-performance connection across hybrid environments including corporate resources located off the internet. Controlling cloud costs The Leostream Connection Broker implements automated rules that control capacity and power state in the cloud, allowing organizations to optimize their cloud usage and minimize costs, such as ensuring cloud instances aren’t left running when they are no longer needed. The Connection Broker also intelligently pools and shares resources across groups of users, so organizations can invest in fewer systems, reducing overall cost of ownership. “These features deliver a streamlined experience with vSphere and hybrid or multi-cloud resources so end users remain productive, and corporate data and applications remain secure,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “At a time when there is uncertainty about the future of support for VMware’s end-user computing, it’s important to bring these options to the market to show that organizations can extend vSphere’s capabilities and simultaneously plan for the future without disruption to the workforce.” About Leostream Corporation Leostream Corporation, the global leader in Remote Desktop Access Platforms, offers comprehensive solutions that enable seamless work-from-anywhere environments for individuals across diverse industries, regardless of organization size or location. The core of the Leostream platform is its commitment to simplicity and insight. It is driven by a unified administrative console that streamlines the management of users, cloud desktops, and IT assets while providing real-time dashboards for informed decision-making. The company continually monitors the evolving remote desktop landscape, anticipating future trends and challenges. This purposeful, proactive approach keeps clients well-prepared for the dynamic changes in remote desktop technology.
