Overall Satisfaction with Lenovo ThinkSystem ST Series

Lenovo ThinkSystem ST Series is a series of really good servers.
We resell it for business across 10 to 50 members.
We use it as Hyperv Server for the whole customers organization.
It stores data securely thanks to a large disposition of disk slots and a good raid controller.
It store lots of VM's thanks to a lot of ram slots and the double processor [that makes] slots usable.
One bad thing is that you will need support for the installation for it that happens frequently. There is a part that needs to be changed within the warranty or the firmware needs to be reviewed. The good thing is the support of Lenovo is quick and at a very high level.
  • Materials are top quality.
  • Support is [a] high-level quality.
  • [It is] very durable.
  • [The] design looks good.
  • [The] internal design is very accurate and professional.
  • It's easy to change parts as needed.
  • You need to read the fine [print of] the support guides [as] it is not so easy to set up the server without them.
  • HyperV server
  • Active directory server
  • File server
  • ERP server
  • With Lenovo [ThinkSystem] ST series, we can sell servers to small business customers.
  • Servers are a top way to make quick work and earn a big invoice.
  • Selling [the Lenovo ThinkSystem] ST series could make you a Lenovo partner and that is really interesting for an ICT company.
Well, the essential difference is the form of the server. Lenovo ThinkSystem ST Series is a tower server series.
We use it with business customers that don't have big racks. The server is usually located in dedicated cooled rooms, or.. in some situations, also in the office with the other pcs. We use this server series in professional studies or shops. We have sold only the SR50 and the SR250.
For bigger requests, we usually switch series, but we prefer the SR Series for rackmount.

Lenovo ThinkSystem ST Series is a tower server series, so [you don't need] to stock [several] servers or make clusters just for the space they need. In this case, [it] is better to evaluate the SR series. For small business customers, it is perfect; it is a very silent server and is very upgradable, so the small business can grow with it.
