ThinkVantage™® System Migration Assistant™

Migration made easy

Intel® Centrino® processor technology
 
System Migration Assistant (SMA) helps get your endusers up and running by quickly and accurately migrating their individual data and settings to their new Lenovo systems, which are then familiar and ready to go. It's ideal for a large corporation moving hundreds of users' data over an enterprise network, or a small business with just a few systems in a peer-to-peer environment.

Migration made easy

Migration made easy
System Migration Assistant has an easy-to-use graphical interface for end-user driven migrations. There is also Silent Mode, which allows IT personnel to automate migrations to a large number of systems and customise the migration process.

NEW! With the latest version of SMA preloaded on a new ThinkPad® or ThinkCentre® system, you can launch SMA from the new system without having to download and install it on your old system. There is no need for external media to install software on the old system — just connect with an ethernet crossover cable (not included) and go.

  • Typical mode makes it easy for you get started and Custom mode gives you greater control.
  • Simplify system migration by copying data and settings directly from the source system to the target one.
  • Save time and IT costs by automating simultaneous migrations to a large number of systems.
  • Transfer mass quantities of data and settings with complete accuracy.
  • Take charge by customising migration with the help of an easy-to-use graphical interface.
  • Easily transfer end-user specific data and settings for applications, printers, network connections and personal preferences.
  • Perform fast and easy migration for small workgroups using Peer to Peer transfer with a crossover cable (regular patch cable if Gigabit Ethernet is used), or individual migrations using an external USB hard drive.
  • Avoid unnecessary extra costs — System Migration Assistant is available for Lenovo systems at no additional charge.
  • Compatible with LANDesk® Management Suite 8.6 for ThinkVantage Technologies
