At the beginning of this year we were privileged to welcome the manufacturer Lenovo to HCD Consulting GmbH with its Data Center Group.
Lenovo is one of the world’s leading hardware manufacturers. Its Data Center Group provides hardware suitable for the processing and storage of large amounts of data but also offers solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Lenovo can boast some impressive figures. For example the manufacturer has been number 1 in the reliability of x86 servers for the last 4 years. Furthermore, Lenovo hardware is represented in many supercomputers and research facilities all around the world. That does not mean that its Data Center products are only suitable for larger computer centres – Lenovo also has the right products for smaller and medium-sized enterprises.
