LENOVO TARGETS SMBS

Bangalore, Anand Parthasarathy

Building on the brand equity of IBM's `Think' range of computing products, Lenovo has launched a new series of ThinkServers, into the Indian market, adding some user-friendly software icing of its own. The five platforms - 3 towers and 2 racks - are all architectured on Intel's x86 chip sets and are fuelled by quad core Xeon processors. The launch, the first for this series in the Asia-Pacific region, is sharply angled, cost and usage-wise, towards the `small guys' of the business world. The machines start from Rs 45,000. Though they are currently manufactured in China, the Lenovo India Managing Director, Amar Babu, promises competitive pricing for the Indian market, with specially created software tools such as EasyStartup, EasyManage and update features that should appeal to enterprises which may not have the services of a full time systems engineer.
