Lenovo ThinkSystem ST Series is a tower server series, so [you don't need] to stock [several] servers or make clusters just for the space they need. In this case, [it] is better to evaluate the SR series. For small business customers, it is perfect; it is a very silent server and is very upgradable, so the small business can grow with it.

Alternatives Considered
Samsung seems to have a smoother system setup. In terms of pricing, you can find certain items at a better price however the same thing goes for intel. Samsung can be more user-friendly and is a well-known brand. performance and pace is also something Samsung tends to be better on.

Well, the essential difference is the form of the server. Lenovo ThinkSystem ST Series is a tower server series.
We use it with business customers that don't have big racks. The server is usually located in dedicated cooled rooms, or.. in some situations, also in the office with the other pcs. We use this server series in professional studies or shops. We have sold only the SR50 and the SR250.
For bigger requests, we usually switch series, but we prefer the SR Series for rackmount.
