Lenovo XClarity™ Administrator (LXCA) is a centralized resource management solution that is aimed at reducing complexity, speeding response, and enhancing the availability of Lenovo® server systems and solutions.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator runs as a virtual appliance and provides agent-free hardware management that automates discovery, inventory, tracking, updates, monitoring, and provisioning for Lenovo® server systems, storage, network switches, hyperconverged and ThinkAgile solutions. A single XClarity Administrator instance supports managing a maximum of 1,000 devices.

Features:

The XClarity Administrator dashboard is an HTML 5-based web interface that allows fast location of resources so tasks can be run quickly. Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not include any agent software that is installed on the managed endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution and no memory is used, which means that up to 1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed system where an agent is required.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator delivers Lenovo resources faster. With a simplified administration dashboard, the following functions can be easily achieved:

• Discovery
• Inventory
• System Health & Monitoring
• Firmware compliance
• Firmware updates
• Windows device driver updates
• Configuration management and compliance
• Deployment of operating systems and hypervisors to bare metal servers
• Securely erase drive data
• Warranty status monitoring
• Call home, Service Data Upload and Ticket Status monitoring

Fast time to value is realized through automatic discovery of existing or new Lenovo rack servers and Flex System infrastructure. Inventory of the discovered endpoints is gathered, so the managed hardware inventory and its status can be viewed-at-a-glance.

A centralized view of events and alerts that are generated from managed endpoints is available. When an issue is detected by a managed endpoint, an event is passed to Lenovo XClarity Administrator. Alerts and events are visible via the XClarity Administrator Dashboard, the Status bar, and the Alerts and Events detail for the specific system.

Supported endpoints include:

• ThinkSystem servers and compute nodes
• Flex System Compute Nodes
• System x Servers
• ThinkEdge Servers
• ThinkServer Servers
• ThinkAgile solutions
• Hyperconverged solutions
• NeXtScale servers
• RackSwitch switches
• ThinkSystem storage
• Lenovo storage

Simplify
Administrators are able to find the right information and accomplish critical tasks faster through an uncluttered, centralized, dashboard-driven graphical user interface (GUI). Remove complexity from IT infrastructure with XClarity.

Accelerate
Automate and scale IT infrastructure deployment with XClarity to reduce time to market of new systems and free up valuable administrator time to focus on other high-value projects.

Integrate
Deploy and manage Lenovo infrastructure from your own IT applications by developing custom integration using XClarity’s web-based REST APIs or XClarity Integrator software plugins for common IT applications.
