As remote and hybrid workstation environments continue to evolve, businesses need reliable deployment infrastructure. Earlier this month, AECMagazine highlighted Lenovo’s remote workstations solution: The Lenovo Access.
The article focused on Lenovo Access and its mission to simplify and remove the complexity that is traditionally associated with remote graphics and hybrid cloud environments. With the Lenovo Access solution, it’s designed to simplify remote workstation implementation, helping organizations reduce complexity while accelerating deployment.
Lenovo Access: The Remote Workstation Solution
Remote and hybrid work environments aren’t going away, so Lenovo needed a solution that would support power users who need more than just basic access. Nobody wants slow workflows, poor collaboration tools, data privacy concerns, or high costs to scale. Instead, remote and hybrid power users need a responsive, high-performance computing solution that won’t compromise collaboration, security, or cost-efficiency.
This led to Lenovo developing the Lenovo Access, a series of reliable workstation solutions that would deliver full CPU and GPU performance, real-time responsiveness, and centralized security for power users.
The Key Benefits
- Fast Performance – Access to full CPU Turbo performance and a dedicated GPU per user, delivering up to 2X faster performance than than public cloud or VDI solutions.
- Seamless User Experience – Efficient remote protocols ensure local-like responsiveness from anywhere.
- Cost-savings – Cloud-like flexibility at significantly lower cost than public cloud and traditional data center solutions.
- Enhanced Security – Advanced security features, including Lenovo ThinkShield, safeguard your data and intellectual property.
HyperShelf for Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2
In our previous blog, RackSolutions was proud to design and manufacture a custom HyperShelf that supports the first Lenovo Access blueprint. This 5U rack mounted solution is engineered to support seven Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF workstations, offering a compact and cost effective alternative to traditional workstation deployments.
The Access story begins with the ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF, where up to seven of the small form factor workstations are housed in a 5U ‘HyperShelf’, a custom tray developed by RackSolutions. That concept has now expanded with the ThinkStation P3 Tiny, which offers even greater density — up to twelve ultracompact workstations in the same 5U space. – AECMagazine
In our collaboration with Lenovo to create a custom HyperShelf to support twelve workstations, we conducted rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance, consistent cooling, and long-term reliability. Together, we are redefining how high-performance workstations are deployed at scale.
Designed for data center environments and enterprise deployments, the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2 HyperShelf allows you to rack mount 12 workstations per 5U of rack space. This rack mount shelf provides a lower installation cost per device that doesn’t interfere with the power button or peripheral ports.
RackSolutions specifically built this HyperShelf to perfectly optimize space and airflow to enhance system performance and reliability. With our HyperShelf, it decreases deployment times and increases scalability for businesses.

FAQs: RackSolutions HyperShelf
How does the HyperShelf serve as a remote workstation solution?
The RackSolutions HyperShelf enables rapid installation, simplified maintenance, and consistent performance across distributed environments. This ensures enterprise-grade reliability and efficiency beyond the primary data center.
How has the design of the HyperShelf improved for the Gen 2 workstations?
In the original design, external power supplies were positioned loosely along the side. During maintenance or in the event of a failure, this made it easy for customers to disconnect the wrong cable. The new Gen 2 version improves cable management by housing each PSU vertically in a dedicated cradle. This allows the PSUs to align with its corresponding workstation.
