Systems management

A significant factor in the total cost of a server's ownership is the processes that are used for administering the
system hardware, software, and support over the life of the server. ThinkServer system management offerings
are based on industry standards, which enable integration into existing IT environments. Lenovo's tools
emphasize powerful and simplified provisioning and operational management, which form a large portion of the
system cost. Optional upgrades provide more management capabilities to optimize performance and usage of
the servers.
