    HTML tutorial

    Lenovo XClarity is a fast, flexible, and scalable hardware systems management application that enables administrators to deploy infrastructure faster and with less effort. The application seamlessly integrates into Lenovo servers, Flex System, RackSwitch networking, and S Series storage.

    Simplify

    Administrators are able to find the right information and accomplish critical tasks faster through an uncluttered, centralized, dashboard-driven graphical user interface (GUI).  Remove complexity from IT infrastructure with XClarity.

    Accelerate

    Automate and scale IT infrastructure deployment with XClarity to reduce time to market of new systems and free up valuable administrator time to focus on other high-value projects. 

    Integrate

    Deploy and manage Lenovo infrastructure from your own IT applications by developing custom integration using XClarity’s web-based REST APIs or XClarity Integrator software plugins for common IT applications.
