Lenovo Exec: New Virtualization Solutions Will Aid Partners in Modernization Push, with or Without VMware
CRN, Wednesday, September 16th, 2026
CRN reports Lenovo is pitching new virtualization infrastructure and services to partners regardless of their VMware plans.
CRN interviews a Lenovo executive about a new set of infrastructure solutions and services aimed at helping channel partners guide customers through virtualization modernization.
The explicit pitch is neutrality: the offerings are designed to work whether a customer stays on VMware or moves off it following the fallout from Broadcom's acquisition and licensing overhaul.
Lenovo is packaging assessment, migration and deployment services alongside the hardware so partners can lead with a modernization conversation rather than a hypervisor swap. The story is a useful read on how server vendors are monetizing the VMware disruption.
