Lenovo is a Supply Chain Powerhouse with Asset Recovery Services being a Key Cornerstone

[Sponsored Guest Article] The lifecycle of IT gear, HPC or otherwise, is generally thought to start the day it is powered up to the day it is powered down for the last time and pulled out of the rack. However, in the immortal words of Prince: there’s something else- the afterlife. Actually, there’s a beforelife too.
