# Lenovo Partner - Servers for SAP HANA, ThinkSystem | SNOK > SNOK - Lenovo Partner. ThinkSystem servers, certified SAP HANA appliances, storage and hyperconverged infrastructure with full production sizing. - Source: https://snok.ai/en/lenovo-snok/ --- Lenovo Partner # Lenovo - servers, storage, and SAP HANA appliances delivered and commissioned by one team SNOK delivers and implements Lenovo infrastructure - ThinkSystem servers, storage, ThinkAgile hyperconverged systems, and certified SAP HANA appliances. Sizing carried out by the team that will later commission the environment. Who you'll be working with SNOK is a Lenovo partner and delivers ThinkSystem servers, ThinkSystem DM storage, ThinkAgile hyperconverged infrastructure, and certified SAP HANA appliances - sized for the actual workload and commissioned in production. The SNOK infrastructure team designs server sizing together with the client's SAP team - ensuring the hardware configuration matches actual S/4HANA, BW, or Datasphere workloads. We deploy servers together with the operating system (RHEL or SUSE), HA Pacemaker, and infrastructure monitoring in Lenovo XClarity or Microsoft Sentinel. Lenovo support areas ## How we support your team ### ThinkSystem servers and SAP sizing Sizing of Lenovo ThinkSystem servers (SR650, SR850, SR860) for SAP workloads - with concrete RAM, CPU, and NVMe parameters derived from SAP Quick Sizer. Hardware delivery, installation in the client's data centre, and production commissioning. ### SAP HANA appliances Certified SAP HANA appliances on Lenovo - ready-made configurations for production S/4HANA and BW/4HANA. Configurations ranging from 256 GB to several TB of RAM, with HA Pacemaker and live patching options. ### ThinkAgile hyperconverged infrastructure ThinkAgile (VX, MX, HX) implementations for hyperconverged scenarios - VMware vSAN, Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, and Nutanix. Ideal for mid-market, where operational simplicity and total cost matter most. ### Storage and backup Lenovo ThinkSystem DM storage for enterprise workloads, integrations with Veeam for SAP backup. Synchronous and asynchronous replication architectures between data centres for DR scenarios. What sets SNOK apart in Lenovo ## Sizing carried out by the team that will later commission it - rather than a separate hardware vendor and a separate integrator. In many projects, the client buys hardware from one company and outsources implementation to another. The result: hardware configuration drifts away from actual load, incorrect storage controller settings cause SAP HANA issues, and coordination takes months. SNOK delivers the whole scope - sizing is carried out by the same people who will later commission the environment. On SAP HANA projects we work directly with the Lenovo Center of Excellence for SAP. Servers arrive with the operating system, HA Pacemaker configuration and monitoring already in place, so the environment is ready to take production load. Lenovo case studies ## Selected projects from the SNOK portfolio A manufacturing-sector client Delivery and implementation of a Lenovo SAP HANA appliance for S/4HANA, HA architecture with Pacemaker A financial-sector client Implementation of ThinkAgile HX for backup and archive scenarios, integration with the existing vSAN A corporate group Consolidation of server infrastructure across four subsidiaries, migration to Lenovo ThinkSystem We're happy to discuss full case studies and further projects in a 1:1 conversation - with numbers, decision context and the path to business impact. Frequently asked questions ## Lenovo - questions clients ask us most often Both, on a single order - delivery to the client data centre plus installation and production commissioning. There is no need to split the project between a hardware supplier and an integrator. Yes. Lenovo is one of the leading providers of certified SAP HANA appliances - in both scale-up and scale-out configurations, covering the full range from mid-market to enterprise. Yes. Sizing is carried out by the team that will later commission the environment - based on SAP Quick Sizer, the client's historical metrics, and consultation with the Lenovo CoE. Yes. We routinely deliver Lenovo servers together with RHEL for SAP or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, configured for HA Pacemaker and with monitoring in place.
