Lenovo, worldwide Olympic partner and exclusive computing equipment provider, is gearing up for the final and most grueling test of all -- a 3-day complete technology rehearsal on June 10-12. The rehearsal will involve more than 300 engineers and thousands of PCs.
More than 20,000 pieces of Lenovo equipment have been put to the test in more than one year of "Good Luck Beijing" athletic competitions, including Olympic sports ranging from archery and diving to synchronized swimming and taekwondo.
Lenovo is providing the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) with more than 30,000 pieces of equipment including desktop and notebook PCs, monitors, and servers.
The test events ended on June 1 and the final preparatory event will be the comprehensive technical rehearsal conducted by BOCOG on June 10-12. The physical equipment supporting the Olympic Games and the thousands of personnel will participate in "Technical Rehearsal 2" (TR2), simulating three of the busiest days at the Games.
The rehearsal will force participants to practice managing an array of potential problems and scenarios - missing equipment, slashed cables, security breaches, power outages, etc. Nearly 95 percent of Lenovo's computing equipment at every venue will be deployed over 3-days of intensive practice and problem solving.
"Lenovo is delighted to report that the successful "Good Luck Beijing" test events proved the strength of our hardware backbone and our team of technicians that will support every aspect of the Beijing Games," said Alice Li, Lenovo vice president of Olympic Marketing.
