Capturing new opportunities with 3S Strategy
Smart IoT Smart Infrastructure Smart Verticals
Intelligent transformation takes place where devices and data center infrastructure work together to
create end-to-end solutions
First, Smart IoT, forms the essential texture for this connected world.
For Lenovo, Smart IoT means, first, our current devices become smarter – meaning they are always on
always connected, easy to collaborate with other devices, adaptive to your needs, with natural language
interactions, seamless cloud connection, and enhanced security and privacy protection.
Furthermore, majority of commercial devices today – factory machines, hospital equipment - are not yet
“smart”. This is a huge opportunity for us. We can provide this “as a service” – by embedding our
computing devices, including PCs and servers, modules and protocols – into a variety of devices to make
them “smart”.
Second, smart infrastructure, which provides the computing, storage and networking power to support
intelligence.
You often hear different terms for data centers, and that’s because Lenovo offers a rich portfolio of data
centers to support different needs of different customers – traditional data centers for enterprise core
applications; software-defined for customers who need better agility and flexibility; hyperscale for public
cloud companies; and high-performance computing for scientific computing and A.I. applications.
These are the four engines of our Data Center business.
So what is a smart vertical solution?

For every selected vertical industry, our customized Smart IoT will generate data. Then with the
computing power from Smart Infrastructure, these data are sorted, cleansed and analyzed by our
increasingly mature big data tools. Finally, combining these data with the advanced algorithms that has
studied the industry’s knowhow, existing processes and decision mechanisms, we can train and then
generate a model that provides insights to dramatically enhance the processes or decision-making in the
specific value chain or use case.

Gartner’s Top 25 Supply Chain - an in-depth study of the world’s top 25 supply chains across all industries.
In 2023 Lenovo was named to the Top 25 for the 8th time, ranking at #9.
The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 ranks companies across two main components.
- First, there is a quantitative review of business performance including both financials and
environmental, social and governance (ESG) data.
- Second, it focuses on qualitative opinions of Gartner analysts, peers and industry experts on the
respective leadership in the global supply chain community and future potential of each company.
In particular, the top 25 supply chains in the world have been ranked based on being purpose-driven organizations,
business model transformers and digital orchestrators.
In particular:
- Each of us recognizes our role and responsibility to solve some of the world’s largest problems
- Our ranking demonstrates our efforts to push traditional business operations in order to serve our customers in a
dynamic, competitive landscape
- We are all investing in the most advanced digital transformation technologies and capabilities so that we can
build predictability, visibility and agility into every element of our supply chain.
During the COVID-19 pandemic our inherent resilience continues to help us flex and adapt as we reposition supply
and rebalance production across 30+ manufacturing sites around the world.
Despite required factory closures, we’ve adapted with agility and speed to ensure we continue delivering to
customers.
In addition, we’ve put every measure in place to transform our manufacturing and protect our workers and used
every partnership with suppliers and logistics providers to bring continuity and stability to our operations.
Beyond our core operations, Gartner has cited our wider leadership as a key factor for this year’s rankings.

Key Pillars for a Strong Environmental, Social & Governance Structure
Environmental Social Governance
Investment and Support from Top Management

As a global technology leader, Lenovo has a responsibility to operate a globally sustainable business.
At Lenovo, Sustainability is the practice of managing the impacts of these three pillars - Environmental,
Social and Governance , otherwise known as ESG, in order to meet the needs of our stakeholders.
For many, the term “ESG” brings to mind environmental issues like climate change and resource
scarcity. These form an element of ESG—and an important one—but the term means much more. It
covers social issues like a company’s labor practices, talent management, product safety and data
security. It covers governance matters like board diversity, executive pay and business ethics.
As we manage our ESG impacts, we can identify opportunities to improve our strategy and decision-
making process, drive innovation and operational efficiencies, and reduce risks associated with climate
change and economic growth. All of these combined can contribute toward a more sustainable
economy and world.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Intelligently measure and mitigate climate change and environmental impacts
SOCIAL: Ensure all people are treated fairly and have the opportunity to succeed in a safe and inclusive
environment
GOVERNANCE: Promote our culture of integrity across Lenovo and our suppliers

• Firmware
✓ faster qualification times
• XClarity Controller (Embeded Management Engine)
✓ easy integration
✓ simplified troubleshooting
✓ easier servicing
Common components are used across the entire end-to-end data center server portfolio, allowing for
faster qualification times for testing new servers. This helps customers more easily integrate different
servers into their data centers and simplifies troubleshooting. The common parts allow for easier
servicing by a customer or warranty service technician, and fewer parts need to be kept as backups in
case of component failure. Some parts can even be switched from a working server that is less critical to
a more critical server in case of a failure.

Intel Optane PMem (Persistent Memory) Overview
A new tier of memory
between general
DRAM memory and
high performance
NVMe storage
Close to the Higher capacity than

performance of memory memory and the data
at a lower price per GB persistence of storage
Supported on
Intel® Xeon SP Gen 2
Plugs seamlessly into Intel® Xeon SP Gen 3
Platinum and Gold SKUs
DDR4 memory slots
Intel Confidential – NDA Use Only
The latest Intel innovation extends Intel® 3DXPoint™ media by placing it onto a DIMM, combining great
features found in both DRAM and NAND SSDs.
This innovative new solution, will move larger amount of data closer to the CPU, so it can be accessed,
processed, and analyzed in real-time (without first being retrieved from storage). Our product will be
performant, and comparable to DDR4 DRAM at low latencies. Additionally, we will have higher capacity
and data persistence features typically found in NAND SSDs. This means that customers can keep more
data, closer to the CPU for faster processing, and that data will remain in memory when the system is
power cycled.
This is the game changer for memory technology. Persistent memory technologies allow development of
products with the attributes of both storage and memory. The products are persistent, like storage,
meaning they hold their content across power cycles, and they are byte-addressable, like memory,
meaning programs can access data structures in-place. This allows for memory like performance with the
storage and capacity benefits of NAND.

Lenovo ThinkSystem servers contain an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller (XCC), which
provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting functions. The XCC consolidates
the service processor functionality, super I/O, video controller, and remote presence capabilities into a
single chip on the server system
board. The XCC is based on the Pilot4 XE401 baseboard management controller (BMC) using a dual-core
ARM Cortex A9 service processor. XClarity Controller offers three functional levels: Standard, Advanced,
and Enterprise.
By default, SR-Series servers include XClarity Controller Standard features, and can be upgraded to
Advanced or Enterprise functionality by using the Features on Demand
(FoD) upgrades.
There are two ways to access the XCC management processor remotely:
• Command-line interface. To access the CLI interface, use SSH to log in to the management processor.
• Web-based interface. To access the web-based interface, point your browser to the IP address for the
management processor. The new intuitive interface includes at-a-glance visualizations and simple
access to common system actions. The dashboard is shown in the following figure.
The XClarity Controller provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
Data Center Manageability Interface (DCMI) Version 1.5
Redfish REpresentational State Transfer (REST) API Web browser with HTML5 support
Command-line interface
Virtual Operator Panel with XClarity Mobile App via the front USB port with XClarity Controller access
Virtual Operator Panel provides quick access to system status, firmware, network, health, and alerts
50
information. With proper authentication, it also allows the configuration of systems
management and network settings and the control of system power (Power on, Power off,
Restart). The Virtual Operator Panel can be accessed from the XClarity Mobile App running
on the Android or iOS mobile device that is connected to the front USB port with XClarity
Controller access.

AMD EPYC™ 9004 CPUs
“GENOA”
4TH GENERATION EPYC
83
84 AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processor Pre-Brief Deck | Embargoed until November 10, 2022
There are four key characteristics of 4th gen EPYC. The first is the performance that’s driven by Zen 4
cores. We have up to 96cores in a socket. And these are built on industry leading 5nm process node.
The combination of strong cores on leading edge node delivers performance leadership – both at the
socket level for throughput as well as per-core performance.
The second main feature of 4th Gen EPYC is leadership in memory bandwidth and capacity. 4th Gen
EPYC has 12 channels of DDR5 memory at speeds of up to 4800 MTS. That’s about 2.3X generational
uplift in memory bandwidth.
The third feature is next gen high speed IO. 4th Gen EPYC has up to 160 lanes of PCIe Gen 5 in 2 socket
configuration (128 PCIe Gen 5 in 1 socket configuration) - delivering 2X IO bandwidth generationally. 4th
Gen EPYC also implements CXL 1.1+ to deliver breakthrough memory expansion capability.
And finally, 4th Gen EPYC delivers additions to our Infinity Guard feature set that continue to drive
confidential computing. We’ve almost doubled the number of encryption keys to support 2X the
number of confidential VMs. We also extended our memory encryption feature to CXL attached
memory as well, so no matter which memory tier a customers data resides in, it continues to be secured.

10s digit - Perf
Cores 8 16 24 32 48 64 84-96
➢ Relative Performance w/in core count
➢ Higher number = higher perf
Let’s start with the first obvious item – why 9000 series. 4th Gen EPYC delivers a step function
advancement within the EPYC family – and we wanted to clearly demarcate that with our model
numbers. With 4th Gen EPYC, we are bringing to market 5nm process technology, Zen4 cores, DDR5
memory, PCIe Gen5 IO, CXL support – all in a new SP5 socket and at a completely new performance
level. We are using the model number increment as a way to communicate that easily to customers.
(Second element is – why not 8004 series. And the answer is fairly straightforward - we are planning
use 8000 series for a future product line. Hence we picked 9000 series.)
Moving to the hundredths digit – there is a mapping between this digit and core count; making it easy
to identify the core count in a model.
The tens digit identifies the performance rank within the core count – so higher number indicates
higher performance.
The last digit continues to be EPYC generation identifier.
We decided to keep all the feature modifiers at the end of the series to allow for easy identification of
the special features.

Now let’s turn to double click on the product that delivers all of that performance. This slide has the
overall 4th Gen EPYC product stack.
Our approach to SKU stack design is to be very focused on the customer – to keep it clean and simple;
and give complete choice so customers can get all the features no matter where they land on the stack.
The result of this approach is the SKU stack on the right – total 18 SKUs. 14 dual socket parts and 4
single socket parts. The ones that are shaded blue are per-core performance optimized parts and we
have 4 of them.
We’re showing the core count, base and boost frequencies, default TDP and configurable TDP range for
each SKU. That cTDP range is something our customers can set through the BIOS and gives them an
option to run the part at higher or lower power level depending on their power and performance needs.
When we look at 2P stack, we have one 96c SKU – with a default TDP of 360W that is configurable up to
400W. You’ll notice the base frequency is almost the same as 3rd Gen EPYC 64c even though we have
50% more cores here; and the boost frequency at 3.7 GHz is 200 MHz higher than 3rd Gen EPYC TOS.
And that’s something you’ll see across the stack – we’re delivering nice frequency uplifts from 3rd Gen
EPYC.
Below that we have an 84c SKU that is at a lower TDP, so targeted where a customer wants the core
density and high performance but also wants high perf/W.
Next, we have two 64c SKUs – one with a TDP of 360W and another at 280W TDP. 9554 is a really
interesting part – with very nice frequencies – 3.1 GHz for base and 3.75 GHz for boost. It delivers high
perf/core and high perf/W and a substantial lead against the best part from our competition.
86
Below that we have two 48c SKUs – one SKU that’s optimized for core performance and
another that’s targeted for balanced TCO at lower TDP. 9474F is another interesting part. It
has excellent frequencies and delivers really nice performance per core! This part has a Spec
Int rate of 1090, so we’re expecting this to be positioned very nicely against Xeon.
Next, we have three 32c SKUs and three 24c SKUs - offering a per-core performant part, a
balanced performant part and a value part.
And finally, we have two 16c SKUs. The frequencies of our per-core performance optimized
parts are really great – with 16c coming in at 4.4 GHz boost frequency.
Turing the features, all of the leading edge features of 4th Gen EPYC are available up and
down the stack. Starting with the memory channels and memory performance – that’s the
same across the stack. The number and performance of PCIe lanes is constant. Our infinity
fabric number of links and performance is constant across the stack. Number of CXL lanes
are constant as well. And our security features are present in all of the products as well.
(One comment about memory capacity – the 2TB for 2P system is based on 2DPC. 90%+ of
systems that our partners have designed are 1DPC – given them we have 12 memory
channels – that covers almost all of the workload needs. In terms of platform availability, we
will have 1DPC platforms available in Q4 and 2DPC platforms in Q1 23.)
(Turning to security, the EPYC 9004 series expands on the AMD Infinity Guard security
feature set continuing to add layers for both physical and virtual security. Currently, EPYC
CPUs offer leadership security features like Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Secure Nested
Paging (SEV-SNP), and Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) memory to
enhance virtualization security. In addition, the EPYC 9004 series will support SME-"Multi
Key“ (SME-MK) and will have more keys, longer keys and a new 256 AES-XTS encryption
mode along with FIPs certified SKUs.))

When you combine the features and the performance, 4th Gen EPYC is the best data center CPU in the
industry. It is the fastest processor that delivers socket and per core performance. It delivers leadership
energy efficiency. And that combination drives best TCO across workloads. And it provides security
features that enable confidential computing. And all of that comes with a broad ecosystem of solutions
so our customers can deploy more readily and get to value faster.

89 AMD EPYC™ 9004 Series Processor Pre-Brief Deck | Embargoed until November 10, 2022
I’m going to unpack the performance in four sections. First looking at top of stack flag ship part and
comparing socket level throughput performance. Second, to look at per core performance that’s
important in the enterprise. Third, to look at performance of key workloads and dominant applications
across market segments. And last, what does all of that performance mean in terms of TCO and helping
enterprises achieve their sustainability goals.
Underlying all of these is the exceptional energy efficiency of 4th Gen EPYC. 4th Gen EPYC delivers
leadership performance in a highly power efficient way – and that’s a tremendous value to our
customers. If they’re in legacy data centers they can get more performance out of their power/cooling
infrastructure; and in a modern data center, they can get all the performance they want while lowering
their energy costs.
We’re going through a moment in time when there are two strong trends that are intertwined forcefully
– first is the price of energy that continues to rise steeply; and second is the carbon footprint associated
with energy production and that continues to contribute to climate change. With that backdrop, 4th Gen
EPYC is a product that meets the moment perfectly. It delivers performance efficiently, so you don’t
have to compromise on performance but can still reduce energy costs. And that efficiency translates to
lower carbon emissions as well.

DE-Series Controller Firmware Features
Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) SSD Cache and Hybrid Storage

8 times faster rebuild (minutes, not Expedited access to “hot” data through Snapshot and Volume Copy
days) and continuous high automated, real-time caching to SSD; mix More precise recovery point
performance during drive rebuild and match SSDs and HDDs objectives and faster recovery
Thin Provisioning Mirroring (Sync and Async) Encrypted Drive Support

Improves storage use by up to 35% Cost-effective enterprise-class disaster recovery Extended security enhancements for
and eliminates overprovisioning of data with FC and IP replication compliance and regulations
Automatic Load Balancing - automated I/O workload balancing of I/O traffic from the hosts across both controllers.
Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) technology consists innovative method of: (1) greatly simplifying storage
management; (2) making the addition or loss of drives a nonevent; and (3) significantly reducing the time
to recover from a drive loss versus with traditional RAID (minutes versus days).
DE-Series supports hybrid systems with mixed flash and rotating disk. SSD cache is a feature that is
designed to accelerate HDD data access by caching highly read data on SSD automatically.
Snapshot copies and views allow multiple recovery points or the use of production data for testing and
development.
Thin provisioning is used for capacity-optimized configurations and eliminates guessing on how much
capacity that some volume is really going to need.
Mirroring and replication support both synchronous and asynchronous mirroring and replication.
Encryption is AES-256 with a local key manager saves the (often significant) cost of an external key
manager and is now an included feature of the Lenovo SAN Unified Manager

Setting your own performance rules for individual workloads - QoS
▪ Deliver on-demand performance
▪ Responds to changes in workloads to deliver

consistent performance
▪ Monitor and manage workloads that are based on

policies (IOPS or MBps)
▪ Monitor, isolate, and limit workloads of storage

objects such as volumes, LUNs, files and SVMs
▪ Adaptive QoS offers three different policies to

automatically adjusts storage resource levels and
maintain high customer satisfaction:
▪ - Extreme, Performance, and Value
Storage quality of service (QoS) can be used to deliver consistent performance by monitoring and
managing application workloads. The storage QoS feature can be configured to prevent user workloads
or tenants from affecting each other. The feature can be configured to isolate and throttle resource-
intensive workloads. The feature can also enable critical applications to achieve consistent performance
expectations. QoS policies are created to monitor, isolate, and limit workloads of storage objects such as
volumes, LUNs, files, and SVMs. Policies are throughput limits that can be defined in terms of IOPS or
megabytes per second (MBps).
For All Flash DM, QoS policy is expanded to include minimum thresholds and available maximum limits.
Adaptive QoS (AQoS) enables IOPS per volume to automatically increase or decrease based on volume
capacity changes. You can choose from three policies (Extreme, Performance, and Value) to ensure the
most efficient use of storage resources.

Lenovo End to End NVMe over FC

Fibre Channel is the most trusted and widely deployed purpose-built network infrastructure for storage. Decades of use
supporting mission-critical applications have proven that Fibre Channel has the reliability, scalability, and performance to
handle evolving, demanding storage applications.
Lenovo can provide end-to-end Fibre Channel solutions that take advantage of new All Flash Arrays (AFAs) that utilize the latest
32/64Gb Fibre Channel technologies and features including Non-Volatile Memory Express over Fibre Channel (NVMe over FC)
available with the Lenovo ThinkSystem DM Series All Flash Storage Arrays, ThinkSystem DB Series FC SAN Switches and
Directors from Brocade, and Emulex Host Bus Adapters.
Business problem
Data storage is consistently getting faster, delivering improved economics for data centers of all sizes. Flash memory-based
storage is a key technology that has significantly increased the performance of storage systems. Solid state disks (SSDs) are now
so fast, that the SCSI I/O interface has become the bottleneck.
Solution
The solution is based on a modern storage network capable of adapting to the requirement of NVMe-based arrays. NVMe over
Fibre Channel is a solution that is defined by two standards: NVMe-oF and FC-NVMe. NVMe-oF is a specification from the NVM
Express organization that is transport agnostic, and FC-NVMe is an INCITS T11 standard. These two standards define how NVMe
leverages Fibre Channel. NVMe over Fibre Channel was designed to be backward compatible with the existing Fibre Channel
technology, supporting both the traditional SCSI protocol and the new NVMe protocol using the same hardware adapters, Fibre
Channel switches, and Enterprise AFAs. There is no need to "rip and replace" the SAN infrastructure with NVMe over Fibre
Channel.
An NVMe all-flash array connected to a storage network will help eliminate the bottleneck and deliver more value back to the
business. This scalable storage network will deliver reliable flash that performs at the speed of memory.
Benefits
The benefits of NVMe over FC include the following:
•IOPS: Experience a 2.1x increase in IOPS using a more efficient command by simply moving over to NVMe/FC from the
traditional SCSI FCP command set.
•Latency: Achieve 52% lower latency using NVMe over FC. NVMe over FC will have has lower latency than traditional SCSI FCP.
Depending on the workload scenario.
•Throughput: Accomplish up to 2.1x throughput improvement over traditional SCSI FCP when using NVMe/FC
•Increased OLTP performance Microsoft SQL Server 2019 for Linux up to up to 2.7x more transactions/minute.
•Increased OLTP performance for Oracle 19c Databases up to 2.6x more transactions/minute and up to 60% better CPU
efficiency.

Application Silos
IT infrastructure & operations have been evolving to support this business transformation. As the
volume and frequency of IT demands increased over time, the industry sought ways to accelerate and
simplify IT Operations to keep up with demand.
• Traditional IT infrastructure was often complex to manage, with highly customized architecture and
integration typically designed to support silo’ed workloads.
• Converged Infrastructure helped standardize infrastructure architecture with prescriptive guidance
and packaged integration, which helped simplify workload consolidation onto shared infrastructure
that was predictably configured to enable more automation.
• Hyper-converged Infrastructure further optimized IT operations by combining compute and storage
resources into a pre-integrated platform, eliminating the complexity of storage networking while
further reducing the administrative burden and automation endpoints.
• The transformative emergence of Cloud infrastructure and operations, whether delivered on- or
off-premise, brought the value of fully-integrated and automated IT delivery as-a-service. This
practice dramatically improved IT resource-sharing and enabled the business to more rapidly obtain
the IT resources needed for their applications and services.
• These Core IT Operations typically occurred within the business’ own data centers or other IT
providers; however, the increasing digitalization of business driven by the expanding data economy
has led to more Distributed Edge IT Operations that occur closer to the data sources themselves,
where data can be quickly collected and refined across many locations before consolidating into
core data centers. This data is typically collected from local application endpoints or IoT Operations
leveraging smart devices, controllers or sensors.

Hyper-converged Infrastructure (HCI)
A form of SDI that combines Both compute and storage virtualization is delivered from
every node in a cluster.
compute and storage virtualization
into a single integrated system Starting with just a few nodes, users can easily scale out
compute and storage capacity as a single building block.
Traditional Hyper-converged Why Hyper-converged Infrastructure?

Compute Infrastructure
▪ As an integrated system, all updates can be applied
Virtualization (HCI) across hardware and both server and storage
virtualization software (e.g. one click upgrade)
▪ Easy to grow – add nodes to expand both compute
and storage capacity together.
▪ No need to manage a separate storage system and
SAN. HCI embeds software-defined storage, and
Shared SAN both virtualization and storage are integrated into the
Integrated SDS

Why customers Choose to go to the Cloud?
WHAT IS CLOUD?
▪ An IT Delivery & Consumption Model to
provide infrastructure resources, applications
and services on-demand or by subscription.
▪ An IT Operating Model that can easily adapt
to meet changing application and service
requirements
▪ Streamlines operations
▪ Provides IT agility
▪ Lessens the burden of administrative duties
▪ Provides more time for innovation
Customers choose to go to the cloud because it streamlines and optimize their IT operations.
Cloud brings IT agility which allows organizations to quickly adapt to changing business demands.
Cloud helps the IT team because lessenes the burden of administrative duties such as resource
management and system maintenance. A cloud system provides IT departments with more to focus on
innovative development and business growth.
163
Cloud Deployment Models
• IT resources provisioned from two distinct

cloud infrastructures.
• Typically this is a combination of public and
private clouds.
• IT resources provisioned for exclusive use by • Infrastructure shared with general public.
single organization. • IT provisioned by the Cloud service provider.
• Infrastructure may be located on-premise or • Infrastructure is off premise.
may be outsourced.
A private cloud has hardware located onsite or housed and managed by the business offsite, and
provides services exclusively to customer-authorized users, normally employees only.
A public cloud has all hardware hosted at a provider site, with services provided to many different tenant
organizations. Tenants are businesses that make use of the services provided by a service provider.
A hybrid cloud is a model of cloud with a mixed environment created by a single business; a private
cloud is implemented on-site, but there is integration with a public cloud.

Cloud Service Models describe what kinds of services are delivered by a cloud environment. There are
countless variations of service models. Customers may use a combination of service models to
manage their IT goals.
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provides a fully-automated, self-service facility for consumers to

obtain fundamental computing, networking, and storage resources for arbitrary application use cases.
Because of its general-purpose nature, IaaS is often used to rapidly implement sandbox environments
for IT projects, deploy standardized applications, or even complex multi-tier software systems. With
IaaS, the consumer is able to administer the resources they have deployed, but the underlying
infrastructure is controlled by the Cloud provider.
With Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), a Cloud provider delivers a managed operating environment with
utilities to streamline application development, so PaaS is generally leveraged by software developers
rather than application end users. PaaS enables developers to take advantage of provider-managed
software tools and components like code management, databases, content management, directory
services, etc. (a PaaS form sometimes termed “Backend-as-a-Service” or BaaS). Some forms of PaaS can
even offload application functions to provider-managed facilities for analytical processing, image or
speech recognition, or large-scale computation (a.k.a. “server-less computing” or “Function-as-a-
Service” -- FaaS). Software that is specifically designed and constructed to exploit such offloaded PaaS
capability is considered a “Cloud-native” application.
Simply put, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Cloud provider delivers a fully-managed application directly
to end users. SaaS is the most broadly-consumed version of Cloud technology by the general public for
popular activities like media streaming, social media, webmail, etc. SaaS is also widely used in business
to outsource common administration systems for finance, HR, CRM, collaboration, etc.

The ON DEMAND Program produces ON DEMAND Solutions with independent software vendors (or
ISVs). ISVs want to achieve high customer satisfaction but typically do not want to deal with
manufacturing, logistics, demand planning, quoting and delivery times, or hardware on their books. And
they typically have a smaller sales force. We help them with all of these challenges and to devise the
optimal solution for their target market through our broad OEM product portfolio.

What is the difference between an ad-hoc solution and an ON DEMAND solution?

Ad-hoc solutions present a few challenges, like the lack of control on the hardware selection,
compatibility issues and integration errors. Also, supporting the solution can be an issue, as ownership of
solving the issues can be disputed by the Software vendor, the Hardware vendor or channel partner,
resulting in poor customer experience.
ON DEMAND Solutions offers customers access to Lenovo’s OEM Portfolio providing an optimized
customer experience. The hardware? It’s high quality ThinkSystem hardware. Compatibility? It’s vendor
certified and also the integration is factory tested. Finally, the Level 1 and Level 2 support is provided by
the Software vendor, benefiting the customer experience since they receive all their support from only 1
vendor.

Lenovo TruScale
201
201
202
Let’s start by understanding what TruScale is and how Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) fits into it.
We can think of TruScale as the umbrella for all of our Lenovo products delivered as a Service.
It incorporates our complete portfolio and it allows us to provide simplified access to technology through
a flexible, as a Service model.
We can combine hardware, software and services into a single, configurable solution with a predictable
or variable and affordable periodic fee.
TruScale allows us to dynamically respond to our customer’s current and future needs and become their
trusted partners.
One of our as a Service offerings under the TruScale umbrella is Infrastructure as a Service.
202
We believe the way IT is consumed today needs to fundamentally change. Rapid changes in technology and
consumer demands make traditional approaches risky and costly.
For several decades, the traditional IT model was based on capital expenses for direct equipment purchases and
expense associated with operating and maintaining them. This model required businesses to acquire an asset up
front, deploy it on premise, and maintain it over time. This is now a risky and costly approach due to the rapid
changes in technology and consumer demands.
Future consumption models must be flexible, allowing businesses to pay for usage when they need it, as they go.
This can lead to a reduction or even elimination of capital expenses and maintenance and upgrade costs, causing
many businesses to transition away from the traditional model toward the new IT consumption model.
Traditional:
Based on capital expenses
Direct equipment purchases, operations and maintenance
Acquire an asset up front
Deploy IT on premises, and maintain it over time
New:
Flexible, pay-for-usage model
Reduce capital expenses, maintenance and upgrade costs
Never take ownership of an asset
Scale up or down on demand without overprovisioning
203
With Lenovo TruScale you are in control. No minimum infrastructure capacity commitment, from 0% to 100%, you
can define your consumption plan. You benefit from the latest industry-leading equipment without the initial high
investment. The service also includes a dedicated Customer Success Manager who serves as your account
advocate.
Lenovo TruScale is for size customer – from large enterprise to small business. Data center solutions and services –
on-premise or at a preferred location such as the edge – all without having to purchase the equipment. TruScale
can be applied to any configuration to meet your needs – whether storage-rich, server-heavy, hyperconverged or
high-performance compute – and can be scaled as business dictates.
With Lenovo you only pay for what you use, so you can scale up or down to meet the needs of your business, with
predictable monthly payments based on usage. TruScale includes easy to add incremental capacity, allowing you
to upgrade hardware during contract term to meet changing business needs. The benefit of predictable monthly
costs is to eliminate budget surprises, allowing you to allocate capital to bigger business priorities.
As a TruScale customer you have constant visibility to your consumption in real time, enabling you to control and
predict costs. This, along with an assigned Customer Success Manager, enables access to any level of detail
needed, as well as clear paths to drive resolution with any issues encountered.
TruScale services include:

Preinstallation assessment and planning
Installation and deployment to production
Infrastructure monitoring, metering and maintenance by Lenovo
Customer portal for monitoring usage and environmental data

On-going maintenance

provides the ability for customers to view consumption in real time, enabling the ability to control and
predict costs. This, along with an assigned Customer Success Manager, enables customers to have
easy access to any level of detail needed, as well as guidance to drive problem resolution.

training, and even data and workload migration services so you can easily adjust as your needs evolve.
