Cloud
We have the capabilities to deliver any cloud solution you need. Whether it's private cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, customized to turnkey, Lenovo delivers transformative products and professional services to cover it all.
Overview
Your path to cloud agility
Various cloud models can be used to meet your unique business priorities.
A private cloud solution might be right if you want the agility of the cloud but control and privacy of your application workloads and data. It can be deployed on a single operating platform, or employ a multi-cloud approach, leveraging the strengths of several platforms.
A hybrid cloud approach can enable truly seamless operations and workload mobility across multiple cloud environments, including both private and public.
