ThinkSystem and ThinkServer are families of Intel and AMD servers from Lenovo. The ThinkSystem product line (that replaced the ThinkServer) began with the TS100 from Lenovo.[1]
The server was developed under agreement with IBM, by which Lenovo would produce single-socket and dual-socket servers based on IBM's xSeries technology.[1] An additional feature of the server design was a support package aimed at small businesses.[1] The focus of this support package was to provide small businesses with software tools to ease the process of server management and reduce dependence on IT support.[2] The tools developed for this support package included:[2]
- EasyStartup – meant to simplify the initial server configuration
- EasyUpdate – for download and installation of hardware and firmware updates
- EasyManage – to monitor the performance of multiple servers from a single console

Lenovo's ThinkServer naming conventions reflect whether the server is a tower server or a rack server. First letter "T" is used to indicate tower servers, while "R" is used for rack servers,[3] and "S" is storage rack server. Similarly, secondary letter "S" indicates single socket, while "D" indicates dual-socket.[3]
The ThinkServer family has been discontinued in 2019, and the new family of Intel servers is named ThinkSystem.
