Easily Managed
Lenovo XClarity Controller is an all-new hardware embedded
management engine common in every ThinkSystem server. XClarity
Controller features an uncluttered graphical user interface, industry
standard Redfish-compliant REST APIs, and enables booting in half
the time of prior generation servers, with up to 6x faster firmware
updates.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a virtualized application that
centrally manages ThinkSystem servers, storage, and networking. Via
reusable patterns and policies, it ramps up and scales infrastructure

through REST APIs, helps you further speed services provisioning,
streamline IT management, and contain costs.
