Introduction
Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series appliances are designed to help you simplify IT infrastructure, reduce costs, and accelerate time to value. These hyperconverged appliances from Lenovo combine industry-leading hyperconvergence software from Nutanix with Lenovo enterprise platforms.
The ThinkAgile HX Series appliances deliver the industry’s most feature-rich hyperconverged infrastructure to enterprise datacenters. Nutanix brings the benefits of web-scale technologies to enterprise applications through enterprise storage, data protection, infrastructure resilience, management and analytics, and security.
The ThinkAgile HX Series appliances are built on industry-leading Lenovo ThinkSystem servers that feature enterprise-class reliability, management, and security.
The ThinkAgile HX1320 appliance is engineered for light to medium workloads (business applications and VDI) and optimized for remote office and branch office (ROBO) environments.
The ThinkAgile HX Series appliances for compute-heavy workloads include the HX3320 1U rack-mount, HX3520-G 2U rack-mount, and HX3720 2U 4-node (2U4N) rack-mount appliances. Several common uses for the ThinkAgile HX Series appliances for compute-heavy workloads include virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), server virtualization, private/hybrid clouds, enterprise applications, light databases, and remote office and branch office workloads.
The ThinkAgile HX5520 is a 2U rack-mount appliance that is optimized for storage-heavy workloads, including file servers, on-cluster backups, and big data.
The ThinkAgile HX7520 (2U rack-mount) and HX7820 (4U rack-mount) appliances are optimized for high-performance workloads, including databases, e-mail and collaboration, and workload-balancing clusters.
The ThinkAgile HX Series appliances can be configured with a three- or five-year hardware warranty with 24×7 ThinkAgile Advantage Single Point of Support (Lenovo appliance hardware and Nutanix software) and various levels of coverage with a well-defined scope of services, including service hours, response time, term of service, and service agreement terms and conditions.
