Lenovo announced two new tower servers at the 2013 Intel Developer Forum — the ThinkServer TS140 and ThinkServer TS440. Armed with the latest Intel Xeon E3 processors and Intel 9.0 for remote manageability, these whisper-quiet tower servers are designed for “powerful” performance and “expansive” scalability, ideal for SMBs and MSPs that require rich features and functionality at an attractive price point.
“Lenovo’s ThinkServer TS140 and TS440 benefits from our latest Intel technologies for MSPs and SMBs who need enterprise-grade tower servers that are powerful, easy to manage and highly scalable,” said Shannon Poulin, vice president and general manager, Intel Data Center Marketing Group. “Working with Lenovo, we believe our latest Intel Xeon E3 processors and Intel 9.0 solution delivers a compelling combination of performance and remote manageability for small businesses and distributed office environments. Customers are delighted with the performance and reliability of Lenovo ThinkServer tower servers,” said Jeff Doggendorf, vice president, Engineering Services, Technology Associates.
Equipped with the latest Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processors, the ThinkServer TS140 and TS440 tower servers offer 15 percent “faster” performance than previous generations. The TS140 and TS440 also feature Intel 9.0 to provide remote manageability tools for “easy and efficient” server maintenance. Intel AMT technology is certified with popular MSP ecosystem management consoles like N-Able, Level Platforms and Kasaya, enabling MSPs to manage end-user networks remotely.
