Lenovo Hyperconverged Infrastructure — Latin America

Lenovo ThinkAgile MX, HX and VX hyperconverged platforms for virtualization, private cloud and edge computing in Latin American organizations — simpler to deploy, simpler to scale, simpler to manage than traditional three-tier infrastructure

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has become the dominant deployment model for enterprise workloads in Latin American organizations for a straightforward reason: it solves the talent problem. Traditional three-tier infrastructure — separate compute, storage and networking layers, each requiring specialized expertise to configure and maintain — demands server engineers, storage administrators and network engineers who are expensive to hire and difficult to retain in Latin American markets. HCI collapses all three layers into a single integrated system managed through a unified interface that generalist IT staff can operate effectively.

Lenovo ThinkAgile is the enterprise HCI platform that GLADiiUM deploys across Latin America — available in three variants optimized for different hypervisor environments: ThinkAgile MX for Microsoft Hyper-V and Azure Stack HCI, ThinkAgile HX for Nutanix AHV, and ThinkAgile VX for VMware vSphere. All three share Lenovo’s enterprise server hardware platform, factory-certified integration with their respective hypervisor, and GLADiiUM’s regional support infrastructure.

Lenovo ThinkAgile Platform Variants

ThinkAgile MX — Microsoft Hyper-V and Azure Stack HCI

ThinkAgile MX is Lenovo’s HCI platform optimized for Microsoft’s hypervisor ecosystem. Available in two configurations:

ThinkAgile MX630 V3 and MX650 V3 — Azure Stack HCI certified nodes providing the Azure hybrid cloud experience on-premise. Run Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Virtual Desktop and Azure Arc-managed workloads locally with cloud-like operations.
ThinkAgile MX1020 Appliance — An all-in-one Microsoft-certified HCI appliance for smaller deployments and branch offices requiring a compact, pre-validated solution.

The ideal platform for organizations in the Microsoft ecosystem: those already running Windows Server, SQL Server, Active Directory and Hyper-V who want a seamless path to Azure hybrid operations without abandoning their existing Microsoft investments.

ThinkAgile HX — Nutanix AHV

ThinkAgile HX is Lenovo’s HCI platform factory-certified for Nutanix. These nodes ship pre-configured for Nutanix AOS and AHV, enabling same-day deployment of Nutanix private cloud on Lenovo hardware.

ThinkAgile HX630 V3 and HX650 V3 — 2U platforms for mainstream virtualization workloads and VDI deployments
ThinkAgile HX1320, HX1321 — Compact 1U form factor for space-constrained environments and edge deployments
ThinkAgile HX2320 and HX3320 — High-density 2U nodes for storage-intensive workloads

ThinkAgile VX — VMware vSphere

ThinkAgile VX is Lenovo’s HCI platform factory-certified for VMware vSphere with vSAN. For Latin American organizations with existing VMware investments, ThinkAgile VX provides the path to HCI simplicity without abandoning vSphere:

ThinkAgile VX630 V3 and VX650 V3 — vSAN ReadyNode certified platforms for VMware vSphere and vSAN
ThinkAgile VX3331 and VX7331 — High-performance nodes for demanding VMware workloads including databases and business applications
ThinkAgile VX Edge — Compact, ruggedized ThinkAgile nodes for remote sites and edge locations with limited IT staff

With VMware by Broadcom’s licensing model changes, many Latin American organizations are evaluating migration paths. ThinkAgile VX provides continuity for organizations remaining on VMware, while ThinkAgile HX provides the migration path for organizations moving to Nutanix AHV.

Simplified Operations

HCI collapses compute, storage and networking into a single system managed through one interface. No separate storage admin or network engineer required to operate daily.

Non-Disruptive Scale-Out

Start with 3 nodes, scale to dozens by adding nodes. Each new node adds compute, storage and network capacity simultaneously. No forklift upgrades.

Built-in Data Protection

Built-in data protection: synchronous replication, snapshots and backup integration. No separate backup storage arrays required for protection of HCI-hosted workloads.

Edge and Industrial Ready

ThinkAgile VX Edge and HX compact nodes designed for maquilas, branch offices and industrial environments with limited space, power and IT staff.

Azure Hybrid Integration

ThinkAgile MX with Azure Stack HCI extends Azure cloud services to your on-premise environment. Run AKS, Azure Arc and Azure Virtual Desktop locally.

GLADiiUM Regional Support

GLADiiUM provides factory-authorized deployment, configuration, training and Lenovo Premier Support management across Latin America.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lenovo HCI Latin America

Which ThinkAgile platform is right for my organization?

The choice depends primarily on your existing hypervisor investment and your cloud strategy. Organizations with significant VMware investments and no immediate migration plans should evaluate ThinkAgile VX. Organizations already running Microsoft stack (Windows Server, Hyper-V, Active Directory) and interested in Azure hybrid cloud should evaluate ThinkAgile MX with Azure Stack HCI. Organizations considering migration away from VMware, or deploying net-new HCI without existing hypervisor commitments, should evaluate ThinkAgile HX with Nutanix AHV — which is increasingly the preferred choice for new deployments in Latin America given Nutanix’s licensing model simplicity and active competitive program against VMware. GLADiiUM provides a free HCI assessment that includes hypervisor-agnostic sizing and recommendations.

How many nodes do I need to start with Lenovo ThinkAgile?

Minimum deployment for ThinkAgile is 3 nodes — required for high availability (N+1 redundancy). A 3-node ThinkAgile cluster is appropriate for organizations virtualizing 20-80 VMs depending on workload profile. Most Latin American SMB deployments start at 3 or 4 nodes and scale as needs grow. GLADiiUM sizes initial deployments based on your current workload inventory and growth projection, with a specific recommendation for starting configuration and a documented scale path.

Does Lenovo ThinkAgile work in industrial and maquila environments?

Yes. ThinkAgile VX Edge and the compact HX 1U nodes are designed for industrial environments, remote sites and locations without dedicated data center cooling. For maquilas in Honduras with server rooms that cannot maintain optimal data center temperature, Lenovo’s ThinkAgile Edge platforms offer the ruggedized operating specifications required. GLADiiUM has deployed Lenovo infrastructure in manufacturing environments across the Valle de Sula and can assess the specific requirements of your production environment.
