The theme of the scheduled event in the grand tradition of international fairs and expositions will be "Better City, Better Life".
Zhong Yanqun, vice director, executive committee, World Expo 2010 Shanghai, said, “The World Expo 2010 Shanghai is a world-class event, following stringent international standards in building its IT system. We are confident that Lenovo, a leading global PC maker, will be able to support the event with superb computing equipment and system operation services. The co-operation between both parties will also help promote the brand and spirit of the World Expo 2010 Shanghai.”
Yang Yuanqing, CEO, Lenovo, said, “As a leader in the PC industry, Lenovo has innovative technology and exceptionally-engineered products. With a concrete track record of supporting large-scale international events such as the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Turino 2006 Winter Olympic Games, Formula One and the National Basketball Association (NBA), Lenovo is confident that we will be able to provide the Shanghai Expo with the support required to make it a success. We are pleased that we can contribute to the event and help foster communication and exchange among people of different countries.”
Lenovo will contribute to the event’s IT infrastructure via the “Lenovo Digital World Expo Program” in three areas:
* Operating an integrated, efficient, easy-to-manage, secure and cost-effective computing system platform. Lenovo will manage a warehouse for computer tooling and maintenance, and a computing operation centre. The assignment will include needs analysis, system testing, technical rehearsals and operation.
* Providing around 10,000 pieces of computing hardware, including servers, notebooks, desktops, printers and peripherals, which will form the backbone of the information system. In addition, Lenovo will provide a team of engineers and technical experts on-site to ensure smooth running of the system.
* To extend the expo’s technology platform so that it will help the adoption of technology and digital living in the city of Shanghai.
The smooth operation of this event will require an efficient information system that includes administration, infrastructure and operation management, exhibition applications, Web management and security.
“We don’t have a legacy system to fall back on in developing a computing infrastructure as complex as that for the expo. We have to start from scratch, which to us, is an excellent opportunity to show the world that Lenovo has the technology, services and talent to handle the most complex and demanding computing infrastructure projects for any client,” said Tong Fuyao, vice president, key accounts, Lenovo.
