We know how it is: as the pressure to cut costs pushes you toward cloud computing, concerns about security are holding you back. Lenovo sees your situation from both sides – which is why we developed the unified Lenovo Cloud platform, a private cloud computing platform agencies can use to securely deliver important applications and services to a workforce diverse in both device and location.

The Lenovo Cloud solutions offer good news for end users, Federal agencies, and their IT staff.

• End users get anytime, anywhere device-neutral access to important systems and resources. They enjoy a consistent look and feel and reliable performance.
• Agencies can leverage the platform to meet cloud computing, mobile workforce, and other mandates. They can also use it to lower the cost of delivering software and other tools internally.
• IT groups get the security they need on the back end, granular access control as required, and easy user/application data backups. Complete endpoint awareness allows security policy to be set and enforced based on user attributes (device, location, etc.).

Clients and Beyond

Lenovo’s Cloud-Ready Clients give ThinkPad® laptops as well as ThinkStation® workstations instant access to the Cloud, with the client managing and optimizing how cloud services and applications perform on the machine.

Use Secure Cloud Access (SCA) to extend the cloud to other devices, cloud-ready or not. SCA detects user and device information (authentication method, device capability, location) and uses it to assign access to local or cloud-based resources. SCA also supports SSL or VPN access, external directory integration, and advanced FIPs-approved cryptography and encryption.

Federal mandates pushing you toward the cloud while security risks keep pulling you back? End the conflict with Lenovo Cloud, the unified cloud platform that provides secure access to applications and services from any device.
