Top company executives talked with CRN about Lenovo’s acquisition of Infinidat, with topics ranging from why it took so long for Lenovo to make a serious play to bring enterprise storage to clients buying its enterprise servers to why a fast-growing Infinidat would even consider being acquired at a time its technology is in high demand for use in AI workloads.

Lenovo has completed the acquisition of Infinidat and its high-end enterprise storage systems, saying this enhances its ability to deliver resilient, intelligent, AI-ready data infrastructure to customers worldwide.

Lenovo Group Ltd. announced it has completed the acquisition of Infinidat Ltd., a provider of high-end enterprise storage solutions.

Lenovo Closes Infinidat Deal, Signals Shift in Enterprise Storage Strategy

Business value has become a tremendous differentiator in the enterprise storage market. This is a huge shift from the days when technical value alone reigned supreme in past decades. Today, business value and technical value must work hand-in-hand for a viable enterprise storage infrastructure that supports and optimizes a business to achieve its strategic goals in a data-centric world. However, understanding the finer points of this hidden gem of “value” that gets CIOs very excited, when they discover it, is not always easy and can be inadvertently overlooked.

Eric Herzog, CMO of Infinidat, talked about how partners can grow revenue by selling integrated storage-plus-cyber solutions. He described Infinidat’s InfiniBox family and the InfiniSafe software capability as embedding cyber storage security and resilience to enable fast recovery from malware and ransomware within storage systems. He recommended that partners align infrastructure and cybersecurity practices and jointly sell integrated storage-plus-cyber solutions to expand deal size, margin, and customer value. Partners should position the offering as a consultative solution rather than a quick sale to capture higher value.

For a large enterprise to take costs out of enterprise storage, or to fuel new, power-hungry AI applications, or to rapidly recover from a cyberattack, it’s virtually a Robin Hood-like feat of taking from one source and giving to another. But is it possible to make this “take from one to give to another” approach a win-win scenario? With enterprise storage, the answer is a resounding YES.
