New Lenovo Servers Rack Up on Performance, Virtualization and Usability

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Lenovo today announced its latest line of servers, the ThinkServer TD200 and
TD200x tower servers as well as the RD210 and RD220 rack servers. The new
servers offer small to mid-sized businesses the latest in performance with
several choices of Intel Xeon 5500 Series processors and vastly expanded memory
and storage. These ThinkServers are also equipped for virtualization and several
power saving features to help customers cut their energy usage without
sacrificing performance.

Powering Up for Performance

Equipped with the latest Intel Xeon 5500 Series processors, the new ThinkServers
are up to three times faster than their predecessors. With high-speed DDR3
memory up to 128GB, the latest models offer more memory than previous Lenovo
servers. These highly scalable, dual processor servers also offer increased
storage capacity with up to 12 hard drive bays in the rack models and up to 16
in the tower models.

Equipped for Virtualization

Lenovo`s new ThinkServers are virtualization ready and are equipped with several
time and cost saving features that help customers seamlessly transition to a
virtual environment. The latest ThinkServers come with an onboard connector for
an embedded hypervisor. With the expanded memory and storage capacity on the new
models, customers can consolidate several legacy servers onto a single new
ThinkServer to save on hardware costs and energy usage while boosting their
return on investment. Lenovo supports a variety of virtualization solutions from
Microsoft, Novell, VMWare and Red Hat.

"Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and System Center management suite running on
Lenovo ThinkServers offers customers a solution that can help them be more
efficient, lower operational costs and optimize power consumption," said Zane
Adam, senior director of virtualization and management, Server and Tools
Business, Microsoft Corp. "This combination empowers our customers to optimize
their IT operations with tools that are familiar and easier to use."

Powering Greener, More Energy Efficient Servers

The ThinkServer TD200, TD200x, RD210 and RD220 are the most energy efficient
servers from Lenovo yet, featuring low wattage processor and memory options, and
small form factor hard drives. Select models are compliant with Energy Star for
Servers 1.0, finalized in May 2009, which provides a 30 percent reduction in
power usage compared with other x86 servers that do not meet the standard. In
addition, the ThinkServers` power supplies are more than 92 percent efficient,
meaning more energy is translated into usable power.

Server Management Goes Mobile

The new ThinkServers come with the Integrated Management Module (IMM), which
provides complete, "always-on," out-of-band server management capabilities via
an easy-to-use Web interface. With IMM, users can remotely access and manage
their ThinkServer from anywhere, anytime, even if the server has crashed or is
turned off.

Select models come with IMM Premium, giving users full control of their
ThinkServer (including the mouse, keyboard and video) from remote locations, as
well as the ability to connect local drives remotely to their ThinkServer
through virtual media.

"Our second generation of ThinkServers makes giant leaps in both performance and
usability for small and mid-sized businesses, while offering new virtualization
and energy efficient features leading to a substantially lower cost of
ownership," said Tom Tobul, executive director, Enterprise Systems, Software and
Peripherals, Lenovo. "Lenovo ThinkServers are designed as turnkey solutions to
help our customers smoothly scale up and easily manage their server
environment."

Peace-of-Mind Services

Servers are a critical IT mechanism at the heart of many businesses. That`s why
Lenovo`s server solution provides total support for both hardware and software
to help customers without IT departments quickly set up, update and manage their
servers.

In addition to its standard warranty, Lenovo offers ThinkServer customers a
90-day trial of ThinkPlus Priority Support services so customers have the
complete support they need during the critical first days after their server
purchase. This provides services such as next business day warranty service,
24x7 hardware and software phone support as well as priority call routing to
advanced technicians. For customers who need on-site hardware installation and
online training, Lenovo also offers the ThinkPlus Productivity service plan.
