The announcement consists of Lenovo ThinkAgile VX850 V4, Lenovo Infrastructure Deployment Services, and Lenovo Express Solutions. Lenovo ThinkAgile VX850 V4 is optimized for large-scale virtualization and high-load in-memory workloads. Lenovo Infrastructure Deployment Services supports everything from deployment to operational transition. Lenovo Express Solutions provides prevalidated configurations.
Scott Patti, vice president of Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), said that as IT environments become more complex, companies are focusing on maintaining flexibility while improving the efficiency and resilience of virtualization infrastructure. He added that Lenovo supports customers by helping them modernize legacy infrastructure, expand choice, secure operational control, scale to meet changing demands, and lay the foundation for AI adoption.

ThinkAgile VX850 V4 has single-infrastructure-based configuration characteristics. This allows it to stably integrate and modernize legacy systems while flexibly responding to future workload expansion.
Lenovo also announced infrastructure deployment services along with the product. The services are divided based on project scale and internal IT capabilities, and the options consist of three types: Standard Deploy, Premier Deploy, and Premier Deploy Plus.
At the basic level, professional hardware installation is provided. Premier and above offer one-stop support for operational handoff. Premier Deploy Plus adds extended support and a one-year infrastructure health diagnostics service.
Lenovo said it has introduced Express Solutions, which provide prevalidated configurations as part of the Lenovo Top Choice Express program. It said this can reduce the burden of system integration and shorten evaluation and deployment periods. Supported platforms include Microsoft Hyper-V Ready and Windows Server, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Microsoft Azure Local based on ThinkAgile MX V4, ThinkSystem based on Nutanix Compute Cluster, and SUSE virtualization based on ThinkSystem V4.
Lenovo said it has strengthened ransomware response and cyber resilience based on ThinkSystem storage and ThinkAgile HCI. As integrated management tools, it presented XClarity Controller 3 and XClarity One. Lenovo said XClarity Controller 3 and XClarity One improve operational visibility and interoperability across distributed and heterogeneous infrastructure.
Matt Eastwood, senior vice president at IDC, said that infrastructure modernization is moving in stages based on current infrastructure rather than through a full replacement of existing environments. He said Lenovo is connecting virtualization, hybrid cloud, storage, infrastructure management, deployment services, and key technology partners. He added that Lenovo is building an open ecosystem that expands alongside customers' AI journeys.
Yoon Seok-jun, vice president of Lenovo Global Technology Korea, said Lenovo's scope of support covers everything from existing enterprise workloads to cloud-native and AI-native workloads, as well as new business use cases. He added that enterprises can modernize their existing environments step by step and that they can also lead decisions on where and how workloads and data are deployed.
