RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Today, Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) with Nutanix announces an As-a-Service
solution for Hosted Desktops to help IT decision makers thrive in the new remote hybrid workforce model. According to
Lenovo’s recently released “Future of Work and Digital Transformation” study, 83 percent of businesses expect post-pandemic work to be remote at least half the time. Lenovo TruScale™, Lenovo’s
first solution for Hosted Desktops with Nutanix, provides companies with a complete and more secure remote work
solution. A choice of Lenovo client devices is offered, such as thin clients and PCs, choice of Citrix and other virtual
desktop environments, and ThinkAgile HX Series (powered by Nutanix), all licensed to the end user and managed
as-a-service. The complete Hosted Desktops solution provides cloud-like simplicity and on-premises performance, with the
convenience of a single monthly payment and single point of contact for support.
“Many organisations are modernising their IT infrastructures to support the growing demands remote work continues to
place on their IT systems,” said Kirk Skaugen, Executive Vice President, Lenovo Group and President of Infrastructure
Solutions Group. “We are seeing a shift where customers are more interested in as-a-service models to help offset the
investment associated with upgrading their IT systems quickly. Lenovo’s collaboration with Nutanix provides customers
with a more secure, Hosted Desktop as-a-service solution that is easy to secure, deploy and manage with minimal up-front
costs.”
Over the past few years and especially during this global pandemic, industries such as healthcare require the ability to
complete more administrative and clinical activities remotely, with added safety and security. Fraser Health Authority, one of Canada’s largest and fastest growing health authorities servicing 1.8 million people in British Columbia,
revitalised their data centre with Lenovo and Nutanix to ensure high-quality patient services during a province-wide
lockdown.
“We see that remote connectivity is more than just a short-term response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s part of our
long-term strategy to ensure we can deliver vital health services no matter what,” said Wesley Kampff, Portfolio
Manager, Fraser Health Authority. “To streamline maintenance and support, our preference was to engage a single vendor
to deliver the workstations and data centre solutions. We were confident that replacing our traditional three-tier
architecture with the cutting-edge ThinkAgile HX hyperconverged platform, with Nutanix, would offer the performance,
availability and scalability we wanted” added Kampff.Secure Desktop Delivery with Cloud-Like Consumption Frees Up IT Resources
