Lenovo offers two software tiers for the DM Series: basic and premium. If you need more features like the MetroCluster, you must buy the premium version. You can stick to the basic software if you don't need MetroCluster or features like asynchronous replication. That makes DM Series a little cheaper.

It's difficult to calculate pricing on the solution. Lenovo does help us, as a partner, however, there are different types of storage at different price points, and also certain items that are built into the cost already. Normally, they break down and show you how they get to the final price. Typically, a client will tell you what they need and you run some calculations based on workloads. Once you have a plan that aligns with the customer's needs, you go to Lenovo for pricing, and you need to negotiate with them to try to lessen costs. Once you have decided on the costs, there are no extras beyond that which a customer would have to pay for. It's all one set negotiated cost.

We can try to make a good offer for our customers, but in Turkey, the difference between the dollar and Turkish lira is very high. Pricing is the hardest part of my job because the price is very high for our customers. We try hard to make the price low for our customers.

Main Thing is, to look for the Need of your customer! It ist very very important to know where HIS pain Points are. When he Needs a completly ready storage without any thinking about licences or something like that maybe nimble will fit the best. When he Needs more flexibility about scaleability, and superior featureset of already proven Storage Solutions maybe Lenovo DM-Series would match better.
All-Flash Storage solutions provide fast and reliable storage capabilities by using solid-state drives, catering to enterprises that demand high-speed data access and improved performance.
These storage systems are designed to eliminate the latency and reliability issues often associated with traditional HDD-based storage. They deliver consistent low-latency performance and are capable of handling demanding workloads, such as high-frequency trading, big data analytics, and large-scale...
There are extra expenses beyond the standard licensing fee for features such as replication and deduplication, which are available on demand.
The pricing is cost-effective and less expensive compared to HP servers.
The solution's pricing is similar to Dell and HPE.
The solution is highly-priced. I rate the pricing a six or seven out of ten.
The price of the Lenovo ThinkSystem DM Series is good.
