Abstract
This paper provides practical guidance for selecting and positioning storage solutions for Lenovo Hybrid AI Factory deployments. It examines how workload characteristics, deployment scale, capacity, data-access protocols, read and write performance, data services, and scalability influence storage architecture decisions. The paper maps these requirements to common enterprise AI workloads, including inference, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic AI, computer vision, fine-tuning, and model training, and considers Lenovo ThinkSystem DM, DG, and DE Series storage solutions alongside scale-out high-performance storage solutions available through the Lenovo partner ecosystem.
The intended audience includes Lenovo sellers, solution architects, business partners, and customers planning enterprise AI infrastructure. The guidance provides a structured approach for identifying an appropriate Lenovo storage starting point and determining when workload scale, performance, data-management, or operational requirements call for a more specialized architecture. Future work will deepen the analysis of Lenovo partner ecosystem solutions, including their positioning, scaling characteristics, data-management capabilities, and applicability to larger and more demanding AI environments.
