Lenovo XClarity One

Designed for unified systems management across supported Lenovo devices, Lenovo XClarity One improves operational efficiency and secures your infrastructure. Building on this foundation, XClarity One is developing AI-powered Smarter Support, with future capabilities set to include advanced predictive maintenance and intelligent analytics. This will empower your infrastructure with enhanced performance, reliability, and efficiency by anticipating needs before they arise.

Attention
XClarity One is a for-fee offering. To purchase XClarity One or to request a free trial, contact your local Lenovo sales representative (see Licenses).

XClarity One leverages management hubs that can be installed across multiple sites where your devices are located. The management hubs are light-weight virtual machines that act as a bridge between your devices and the XClarity One portal to collect inventory, incidents, and service data, and to configure firmware and settings on those devices.

XClarity One provides a modern, initiative interface to manage and monitor your management hubs and managed devices.
  • Dashboards that highlight items in your organization that require your attention.

  • Summary views of the health of your organizations, hubs, and managed devices.

  • Summary and detailed views of component health, asset inventory, and warranty status for your devices across multiple sites

  • Aggregation of critical alerts and events, and event forwarding external applications

  • Life-cycle control for managed devices using templates (including firmware updates and device settings configuration).

  • Remote server and remote console access for management hubs and managed devices

  • Usage data and trends, such as processor and memory usage, power consumption, processor temperature

  • Automatically problem notification to Lenovo Support using Call Home

XClarity One can be installed flexibly. Today this allows XClarity One to be hosted in the Lenovo cloud with on premise management hubs or as a fully on-premises solution.
  • Cloud

    Using XClarity One in the cloud is recommended for small to medium businesses that desire enterprise-grade capabilities without the heavy upfront investments and IT overhead and for management service providers (MSPs).

    The advantages of using XClarity One in the cloud are:
    • Lenovo hosts, manages and maintains the XClarity One environment for you.
    • Software updates are installed as soon as it is released.
    • Security fixes and software updates are installed as soon as possible.
    • Customer fixes are installed as soon as possible, depending on the severity.
    • Latest Lenovo firmware updates are uploaded as soon as they are released.
    • High service level objectives (SLOs).

    To get started using XClarity One in the cloud, you need to set up an organization in the XClarity One cloud portal. Your view of XClarity One is based on the organizations that you are part of. An organization can be created for your entire company or one or more departments in your company. Only the organization owners and users that are assigned to the organization can access management hubs, devices, and data within the realm of that organization. You can request a new organization from the Sign-in page at xclarityone.lenovo.com. After the organization request is approved by Lenovo, you will receive an email from XClarity One that lets you know that the organization was created and gives a link to get started. For more information, see Setting up XClarity One in the cloud.

    XClarity One can be deployed in your local datacenter. This currently requires an internet link for some functions. Note that some functions are not available as local virtual machine.
    • Automatic problem notification through Call Home
    • Service ticket status and history
    • Device warranty
    • Lenovo firmware CVE analysis
    • Premium Support Plus
    • Predictive failure analysis

    To get started using XClarity One locally in your data center, you need to download and install XClarity One as a virtual machine. A setup wizard guides you through the initial configuration. For more information, see Setting up XClarity One as a local VM.
