The Top 10 Reasons to Buy Flex System Reason Why it Matters 1. Designed for the next decade Gen 2 Flex is ready for tomorrow’s workloads, networking and Intel processors. 2. More memory per blade More memory = more workloads/VMs per blade, which = buying less hardware. 3. Scalable 2 to 8 -Processors Flex runs mission-critical applications like SAP HANA in a blade environment 4. 40% more dense and 92% less cables Saves space, power and eliminates the jungle of cables compared to 1 U rack servers 5. Feature on Demand scalability Upgrade existing switches “in-place” without “rip-&-replace” disruption to datacenter 6. Virtual Switching Flex requires fewer switches to buy and manage as you scale. HP – no virtual switching 7. Lenovo XClarity Management Integrates seamlessly into your datacenter using skills your admins already have 8. Open choice SAN Storage Use the SAN hardware you want and your storage admins know: EMC, IBM, HP Net. App 9. Run without a Top of Rack (TOR) switch Cisco UCS requires expensive TOR’s to buy and manage as you scale 10. Zoned Adaptive Cooling Fans independently self-adjust speed as needed to save power and money 2016 LENOVO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Under embargo until March 31, 2016 23
