Digital transformation across industries requires CIOs to quickly scale and deploy IT. To add, flexible work has become a reality amidst the new normal, with organizations needing to maintain data security as well as ensuring efficient deployment of devices and workstations to employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical innovation, delivered as-a-service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lenovo TruScale Backup as a Service with Veeam enables businesses to manage increasing data volumes and restore critical data in the event of a security breach. This solution is incorporated into the current data management offerings and delivered via an on-premises private cloud model, streamlining the process for IT teams. Not only that, customers will also be able to increase performance and flexibility with a modular and adaptable design as well as backup reliability. This allows businesses to cut back on capital expenditures, downtime costs, and deployment costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lenovo TruScale Hybrid Cloud with Nutanix, housed on Lenovo&#8217;s ThinkAgile HX HCI platform, is the second major addition. The solution delivers the protection and control of on-premises infrastructure and the flexibility of hybrid cloud by leveraging key software. Businesses have the freedom to scale up infrastructure deployment without substantial capital investment. Companies can make quick and effective decisions without the constraints of needing to manage complex IT since Lenovo takes care of installation, deployment, configuration, 24\/7 monitoring, and incident assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, Lenovo and Red Hat have collaborated to bring a new end-to-end hybrid cloud solution that will utilize Red Hat OpenShift. With this , enterprise customers will benefit from a fully managed as-a-service hybrid cloud for running business applications. This consumption-based price model will enable them to step into modernizing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new enhancements to Lenovo TruScale were announced at the company\u2019s annual global innovation event, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.lenovo.com\/pressroom\/press-releases\/smarter-tech-innovations-define-future-of-digital-world\/\">Tech World 2022<\/a>.
