Case Studies
MDlink
IT service provider MDlink online service center GmbH found that its networking equipment was struggling to cope with increased volumes of customer traffic and the demands of the company’s new cloud services. MDlink chose to replace its existing Cisco switches with Lenovo RackSwitch technology, based on its outstanding experience of Lenovo System x servers. Not only does this decision enable the company to
continue providing highly available hosting services, it also greatly simplifies MDlink’s data center infrastructure.

high-density Flex System solution from Lenovo, greatly boosting performance and improving scalability.
