Beginning immediately, customers worldwide can purchase VXL thin client solutions directly from Lenovo and choose from VXL’s extensive portfolio of desktop thin clients and operating systems. VXL will continue to resell select Lenovo thin ThinkPad laptops, such as the TL412 and TL100 together with its, XLmanage, management software.

“As pioneers in the thin client space, VXL and Lenovo are creating more choices and making it easier for companies to benefit from alternative computing solutions,” said Frank Noon, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, VXL Instruments. “Our commitment to quality coupled with our global footprint ensures customers are never without support for their hardware and software needs.”

Lenovo’s ThinkPad laptops are renowned for excellent durability, extra-long battery life and productivity to support today’s mobile worker. The co-branded VXL-Lenovo thin ThinkPad laptops deliver added security and manageability by storing all data virtually in the back office versus on the PC itself. As a result, the thin client solution offers better flexibility and mobility for workers who have previously been tied to their desks due to security policies, such as in financial, insurance, legal and healthcare services.
