Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems

I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Cons

"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."

"Improvements could be made in the network cards, particularly by offering options for higher-speed cards beyond the current 10 GB."

"Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers could improve the availability of their solution. The supply chain is severely broken, we've had to wait many months for component parts to a system time after time. The availability of discs and raid controllers has been difficult lately."

"I have a few notification alerts about PCI cards but it's rare."

"It should have tools for integration with the cloud. We should be able to transmit data from our on-premises server to the servers in the cloud."

"Performance and scalability-wise, there are certain areas where the product lacks and needs improvement as it does not provide a lot of fancy features presently."

"I do not have any notes for improvements."

"To be frank, the technical support from Lenovo's team needs improvement. There seems to be a lack of support, and it is important for Lenovo to address this issue."

"Throughout the use of the product, special needs will arise which may require a global need."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It costs around $8,000. There is an additional cost for the support for a year."

"It is too expensive. Because we are a university and we have to look for our money, many times we buy some refurbished machines or equipment at reasonable prices from IBM or Lenovo. We are a little bit limited in terms of money, and we buy as much as we can. If they were cheaper, we would buy more."

"The price of the solution is very expensive when compared to other solution like HP or Dell."

"In India, the solution is cheap compared to its competitors."

"As the costs got high, we had to use the virtualization feature to consolidate the server farm."

"It is expensive compared to other vendors."

"Its pricing is very competitive."

"Your budget determines the scalability."
