IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We support Lenovo think systems for our clients as a third party maintenance. They are used for a multitude of things such as security footage, engineering file storage, etc. The systems are typically used on a smaller scale at remote sites. On occasion, they are found within a DC and setup as clusters.
Pros
- They are very easy to maintain and repair.
- The raid and storage speeds are excellent.
- They offer many ways to use the system as a standalone or in a cluster.
Cons
- There are a lot of xclarity tools that need to be condensed.
- I would like to see the old IMM interface return as the new management interface is not as easy to use.
- Replacing some of the internal components is more involved than it used to be.
Likelihood to Recommend
It works very well for essential data storage such as security footage. It is well suited for remote office storage, but not so much as large database storage.
