SMC Key Strengths vs Alternative Client Solutions

SMC preserves the fidelity of the PC
Users expect PCs to support all of their audio requirements, video formats and compatibility of their peripheral devices. While other solutions in this category of products struggle with this, SMC does not.
SMC avoids IT complexity
While other alternative desktop solutions introduce complexity that create duplicate images, unique software updates, mixed IT processes, and the like, SMC avoids this bubble of complexity ensuring in the real world, real savings.
SMC is a safe and flexible investment
Lenovos SMC uses a standard ThinkCentre VPro desktop with a remote storage. This allows a company to standardize on one type of client for both their standard PC and SMC users, resulting in flexibility to use it as a PC and then provision it into an SMC device - or the reverse. SMC enables the investment to be reused, compared to others.
SMC is energy efficiency
With no HDD or with the HDD turned off, SMC based computing solution uses less energy than a traditional PC as the Storage Array is more efficient. Compared to others, SMC is as an energy effective solution. 
SMC cost less to implement
SMC uses a cost effective network storage and does not requires costly back end servers. It also takes shorter time to implement and integrate due to its simplicity.

The Secure Managed Client utilizes diskless ThinkCentre clients. The solution can also be used with a ThinkCentre M57p USSF and are supported by the ThinkCentre M58. The Secure Managed Client supports standard, versions of Microsoft Windows Vista and XP. In addition, SMC supports standard PC options designed to be used with the Lenovo ThinkCentre PC’s.
