PC World: New Entry-Level Servers From Lenovo
Lenovo, maker of formerly IBM-branded ThinkPad laptops, entered the server market in 2008. The new products, the ThinkServer RD230, RD240 and TD230 are powered by six-core Intel processors.
“Lenovo announced some new entry-level servers on Tuesday, continuing its effort to become a bigger player in the server market.
The company announced the two-socket ThinkServer RD230 and RD240 rack server, and the ThinkServer TD230 tower server, all of which are powered by six-core Intel processors.
Lenovo is best known as a PC vendor but entered the server business in 2008 with its first ThinkServer products. The new systems are up to 60 percent faster than their predecessors, thanks partly to the increased core count, said Kumar Majety, Lenovo director of ThinkServer marketing. The servers can process more tasks while consuming less energy, he said.”
