Introduction

Better together
The Lenovo ThinkSystem NE1032 RackSwitch is part of the Lenovo Top of Rack (ToR) RackSwitch enterprise switch family, tested and validated with Lenovo reference architectures to provide the best integration possible for Lenovo servers, storage, and networking in the data center. RackSwitches interoperate seamlessly with other vendors' hardware and management. In addition, Lenovo XClarity provides easy single-pane-of-glass management for the Lenovo data center.

Data center optimized networking
The NE1032 is optimized for enterprise data centers with features, such as:

- Software Defined Data Center interfaces ensure smooth interoperability with popular enterprise management applications.
- Nutanix Prism with Lenovo ThinkAgile Network Orchestrator automates vlan changes to improve uptime and network security.
- VMware vRealize Log Insight collects logs and events to determine root cause and produce reports across multiple devices and vendors.
- VMware vRealize Network Orchestrator helps deploy workflows to automate complex IT processes.
- As a Microsoft Azure Stack solution partner, BGP, DCP, and switch-independent teaming deliver seamless interoperability.
- Open Architecture: NE1032 supports automation and control while integrating with industry-standard applications and APIs, such as REST, OpenStack, OpenContrail, and Ansible.
- OpenStack controls diverse pools of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout the data center.
- Ansible, Puppet, and Chef automation integration frees up operations teams for more strategic work.
- Resiliency: NE1032 offers outstanding fault tolerance with one of the quickest high-availability failovers in the industry.

Low TCO
NE1032 is an extremely cost-effective switch for low-end 10GbE hybrid cloud data center applications. It offers the following reduced costs:

- All software, management plugins, and XClarity Administrator are included in the purchase price.
- Switches come with a 3-year warranty and include free software updates and upgrades.
- Lower power consumption reduces operating expenses.
