6、SA Appliance,SMC - The Safest Alternative Desktop Solution To Pilot,Re-provision Switch back to a traditional PC without any need for replacing hardware if the SMC solution does not meet expectationsExample: 1,000 ThinkCentre M5x systems used for pilot However, all M5X systems are configured as SMC

7、devices If pilot is successful, all ThinkCentre M5x stay SMC devices If pilot does not meet customers expectations, the SMC ThinkCentre can be configured back to be a traditional PC No need to replace any hardware or leave “parts on the floor” ISCSI SAN can be re-used as backup storage for desktops
