System X in Lenovo’s Hands: New and Refurbished IBM Server Parts

Over the last several years, Lenovo has consistently made all the right moves to establish itself as a major player in the worldwide PC market. With its relatively recent acquisition of the IBM System X server division, however, the Chinese manufacturer began making strides to transcend its few remaining limitations and truly create a “one-stop shop” for all the electronics that businesses need to operate. 

Now that IBM System X servers are in Lenovo’s hands, the company may be able to create a synergy that hasn’t been seen since IBM’s original heyday 50 years ago.

Almost all servers used to be local, but rising costs and decreasing functionality spurred a major change. For years now, companies have been transitioning the bulk of their mass storage and data processing to the cloud via expensive services offered by Amazon and Google. Given the option to switch back to on-premises servers that seamlessly interface with devices like computers, tablets, and smartphones, however, many businesses will gladly choose a comparatively inexpensive local option over the costly cloud-based alternatives. 

With Lenovo’s broad product line, it may be the only company that can successfully mimic the IBM model that was incredibly popular in the early days of mass computing.
