Canalys 2016 Channel Forum at Macau had a lot of takeaways: One big is that Lenovo is ready to revolutionize the datacenter market with its technology tie ups. It was probably the reason why Lenovo was present in the event as a Keynote sponsor.
It is not hidden that Lenovo is aggressively trying to tap datacenter market. Reason being ever since the company has acquired the X86 servers’ portfolio from IBM, Lenovo has been endeavoring to add value to it. The objective of the company is to create a leadership position in this market by targeting the new age IT business opportunities. It means the company is targeting the organizations adopting Web-scale IT, Converged Infrastructure, Hyper Converged Infrastructure and All Flash solutions. To do that, the company has technology tie-up with companies like Nutanix, SimpliVity, Nimble Storage, Cloudean, Nexenta and many more. However, its growth in the standard server market is quite given which they have inherited from IBM.
Sumir Bhatia, Vice President, Asia Pacific, Data Center Group, Lenovo, said: “We acquired this business in 2014, which is relatively new to the other business. Our go to market and disruption of the data center is that ‘we are often called the challenger’. We relish that. Reason being, we have no legacy. With the next-gen IT influencing the CIOs, we have world class partnerships. We have partnerships with Microsoft, VMware, Red Hat, Nutanix, SAP, Juniper and Nimble, etc. It is not just handshake partnership but it is engineering partnership from the ground up.”
He added, “In the space of Hyper Converged infrastructure for example, today we have the most number of range of Hyper Converged solutions because of Nutanix alliance. We have 11 different boxes in HX series of hyper converged boxes today, which offers 600 different combinations. So, taking this into the market of data center is a huge advantage.”
