Today’s Challenges
Gain more insight from expanding data sources
Execute faster, with greater confidence
Eliminating downtime of high-volume workloads
Downtime is measured in dollars & cents, not minutes & seconds
Increase Application Performance
Because time is money, even milliseconds
$2.19 – The average cost per second of downtime2
5 milliseconds – The expiration time for Algorithmic trading data3
30B – The number of internet connected devices in 20201

ThinkSystem Rack & Tower Portfolio Conclusion Transformational benefit Proof Point (targeted) Lenovo Differentiation
Built-in flexibility for storage based
on workload demands 3 in 1 AnyBay – SAS, SATA,
NVMe, flexible drive bay Future proofing the customer storage needs
Efficient system design allows system
operation at higher ambient
temperatures A4
ASHRAE Spec up to
113°F*
Customers can be more flexible deploying their
systems since they can withstand higher
temperatures
Unified portfolio with common
motherboards with the inclusion of a
minimalist design point 1
Motherboard shared
between 1U & 2U
servers
Customers only need to qualify their image on a
single server versus multiple servers
Purpose designed tower includes
whisper quiet operation and physical
security features 37dB
Operating Noise Level
(33% lower noise level
than a conversation)
Customers have more choices where they place

Client Success Summary: In an age of high-speed retail and customized orders,
Callaway Golf needed to accelerate key production planning reports to stay ahead of
competitors. Migrating its SAP, APO, BW and ERP systems to an SAP HANA in-
memory database on Lenovo servers enabled the company to dramatically cut report
run-times from hours to minutes. Decision-makers can now run planning reports more
frequently, enabling them to steer the business and meet customer expectations
better than ever before.
“The Lenovo solution gave us
the performance and
scalability we needed, backed
by the highest level of SAP
HANA expertise that we saw
in the market.”
