Today’s Challenges

Gain more insight from expanding data sources

Execute faster, with greater confidence

Eliminating downtime of high-volume workloads

Downtime is measured in dollars & cents, not minutes & seconds

Increase Application Performance

Because time is money, even milliseconds

$2.19 – The average cost per second of downtime2

5 milliseconds – The expiration time for Algorithmic trading data3

30B – The number of internet connected devices in 20201

ThinkSystem Rack & Tower Portfolio Conclusion Transformational benefit Proof Point (targeted) Lenovo Differentiation

Built-in flexibility for storage based

on workload demands 3 in 1 AnyBay – SAS, SATA,

NVMe, flexible drive bay Future proofing the customer storage needs

Efficient system design allows system

operation at higher ambient

temperatures A4

ASHRAE Spec up to

113°F*

Customers can be more flexible deploying their

systems since they can withstand higher

temperatures

Unified portfolio with common

motherboards with the inclusion of a

minimalist design point 1

Motherboard shared

between 1U & 2U

servers

Customers only need to qualify their image on a

single server versus multiple servers

Purpose designed tower includes

whisper quiet operation and physical

security features 37dB

Operating Noise Level

(33% lower noise level

than a conversation)

Customers have more choices where they place

and operate their servers

Client Success Summary: In an age of high-speed retail and customized orders,

Callaway Golf needed to accelerate key production planning reports to stay ahead of

competitors. Migrating its SAP, APO, BW and ERP systems to an SAP HANA in-

memory database on Lenovo servers enabled the company to dramatically cut report

run-times from hours to minutes. Decision-makers can now run planning reports more

frequently, enabling them to steer the business and meet customer expectations

better than ever before.

“The Lenovo solution gave us

the performance and

scalability we needed, backed

by the highest level of SAP

HANA expertise that we saw

in the market.”
