Great Lakes Computer Takes Strategic Inventory Position on IBM x86 Servers

In response to Lenovo’s acquisition of IBM’s x86 server business on October 1^st, Great Lakes Computer has built a solid inventory of IBM System x3550 M4 and IBM System x3650 M4 rack servers as well as IBM BladeCenter HS23 blade servers. This strategic inventory position guarantees that our customers are provided with the availability of this product during this transitional period.

This sale to Lenovo has interrupted the distribution channel for IBM’s x86 servers and is bringing uncertainty to those who are currently standardized on these platforms. With this increased inventory, Great Lakes Computer can now provide this hard-to-find equipment to better support those customers as a stable solution for sourcing this equipment.

Taking this strategic inventory position on IBM x3650 M4, IBM x3550 M4, and IBM HS23 servers allows GLC to ease the difficulty and provide clarity during this process. By sourcing the chassis of each model, our configure-to-order process enables us to provide you with any configuration of processor, memory, and hard drive that you require.
