New Lenovo ThinkAgile Portfolio and Nimble Flash Storage Partnership
Lenovo made strategic announcements that allow customers to better capitalize on the transformation taking place in the data center
This transformation is the result of unprecedented information exploding in a digital era, which places extreme pressure on customers to streamline IT planning, design and implementation in the data center.
Not Your Typical Converged Infrastructure
Lenovo is here to help, and our all new ThinkAgile portfolio was developed precisely to liberate customers from the traditional burden of slow, time-consuming and cost-constrained data center deployments. We embraced the best of Lenovo data center to create the ThinkAgile brand that maximizes our supply chain, server, storage, networking and software advantages. Lenovo now unifies family of integrated solutions under ThinkAgile name
ThinkAgile is not your typical converged infrastructure solution. It offers customers integrated, pre-validated, completely configured, provisioned and ready-to-deploy solutions. But it’s much more because we can ship ThinkAgile solutions just weeks after a customer hangs up the phone to place an order
I couldn’t be more excited or proud of the new Lenovo ThinkAgile brand. We start shipping in North America at the end of this month and the rest of the world in 2017 Our timing couldn’t be better as the converged infrastructure market alone represents a $10B annual data center opportunity worldwide

Nimble – Industry’s Only Predictive Flash Storage
We also announced that Lenovo continues the skillful art of data center partnerships with Nimble, a proven leader with the industry’s only predictive flash storage platform. Our new partnership with Nimble brings to market Lenovo flash storage offerings designed to deliver agile, autonomous predictive, application-centric storage solutions that work seamlessly across the data center
Lenovo will initially make Nimble storage a part of our ThinkAgile converged infrastructure offering with new levels of efficiency and scale, which equates to dramatic time savings by IT teams managing data centers. In the future we will add co-developed storage offerings from Lenovo and Nimble that complement and expand Lenovo’s existing Storage portfolio

We will begin shipping Nimble storage in our ThinkAgile offering in 4Q 2016 with standalone co-developed storage coming in 2017
I am extremely optimistic about the opportunity this flash storage partnership represents for Lenovo data center. It is imperative Lenovo has a strong play here for our customers that are, according to IDC, driving all-flash storage market growth of 58.5% in 2016
Let me know, if I can help you in this exciting journey
