Traditional 3-tier storage –
compute, storage, and networking.

Are you a large enterprise with existing 3-tier investments?
Do you need to optimise for high IOPS and low latency?

Lenovo’s 3-tier storage separates compute, storage, and networking for flexible, high-performance infrastructure. Ideal for mission-critical workloads like databases, AI/ML, and big data.

By leveraging enterprise-grade SAN or NAS systems connected via high-speed Fibre Channel or Ethernet, this proven design delivers low latency, strong data protection, and advanced features like snapshotting and replication. giving you the flexibility to scale each layer independently.

Explore our full range of enterprise storage solutions.

Simplify IT with Hyper-Converged
Infrastructure
for mid-size workloads.

Are you running a virtualised environment (VDI, private cloud, Kubernetes, etc.)?
Do you want to reduce operational overhead with an all-in-one infrastructure?

Lenovo’s ThinkAgile HX, VX, and MX Series offer hyper-converged solutions built for mid-size workloads. By combining compute, storage, and virtualisation in a single platform, they simplify deployment, reduce complexity, and make scaling easy. Ideal for modern IT environments, these solutions help you respond faster to changing business demands.

    networking layers

    Best for:
    Enterprise applications
    (e.g. databases, ERP)
    Key benefit:
    High performance and vendor flexibility
  • Converged Pre-integrated compute, storage, and
    networking (but still separate components)

    Best for:
    Enterprises wanting simplified deployment with existing architecture patterns
    Key benefit:
    Faster integration, predictable performance
  • HCI / SDI Unified compute, storage,
    and virtualisation

    Best for:
    Virtualised workloads (VDI, private cloud)
    Key benefit:
    Simplicity, fast deployment, easy scaling
  • SDS Decoupled storage software on
    standard servers

    Best for:
    Scalable, flexible data environments
    Key benefit:
    Cost-efficiency, hardware freedom, scalability

Businesses need to future
proof their storage infrastructure
to accelerate AI adoption and
simplify data management.
