Lenovo has opened the Lenovo Technology Centre, as part of its ongoing commitment to working with partners to drive incremental growth in the server market.
Located in Basingstoke, UK, the centre will offer a permanent demonstration space for Lenovo’s server and storage portfolio, and brings together an ecosystem of partners including Microsoft, Nutanix, Kellway and Pivot3, to showcase customised enterprise solutions in a live environment.
Working closely with its partners, Lenovo developed the centre to run complex proof of concepts for end-users, helping them to realize product benefits whilst interacting with Lenovo experts, decreasing overall time to bring plans to fruition. The centre also connects to Lenovo’s partner web and the brand’s global innovation and R&D facilities in China, Scotland and Germany, giving visitors access to technical and design resources across the globe.
The launch comes 12 months after Lenovo completed its acquisition of IBM’s x86 server business, and gives partners the flexibility to showcase joint solutions in real-time.
“Our priorities are to deliver a flexible and competitive offering to enterprise customers, whilst expanding the reach of Lenovo and its strategic partners,” said Guy England, Director, Enterprise Business Group at Lenovo UK and Ireland.
“The centre opening is a key milestone in our journey to accelerate the server business, and has been a true collaboration with partners to drive incremental revenue opportunities and to reduce time-to-value for customers.
“As IT continues its transition towards revenue generator and business transformer, open partnerships are critical for businesses wishing to maintain competitive edge. We’re pleased to offer new facilities that equip our partners with the capabilities and resources to help businesses across all sectors tackle this challenge.”
