_With this new partnership, Rafay and Lenovo will initiate joint sales alignment
to help companies orchestrate and monetize enterprise AI and cloud-native workloads
across the Americas, EMEA and APAC_ 

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — [Rafay Systems](http://www.rafay.co/),
the infrastructure orchestration and monetization platform for enterprise AI and
cloud-native workloads, today announced it has joined Lenovo AI Innovators, Lenovo’s
ecosystem of AI software providers and industry solutions. Rafay and Lenovo will
bring the Rafay Platform to customers deploying Lenovo AI infrastructure, and the
two companies have initiated joint sales alignment across the Americas, EMEA and
APAC.

AI infrastructure spend is shifting from acquiring GPU capacity to operating it 
as a service. With that, neoclouds, sovereign AI clouds, telcos and enterprises 
all face the same gap between installing GPUs and delivering a usable service to
customers. Closing that gap takes multi-tenant isolation, quota enforcement, self-
service portals, and usage metering, which most teams would otherwise have to build
themselves. Rafay provides that orchestration and monetization layer for Lenovo 
infrastructure, the AI control plane Lenovo sees as critical to running hybrid AI
across on-premises, hosted private AI and neocloud environments. It covers GPU and
Kubernetes lifecycle management, SKU management, and AI Token Factory, which delivers
models as token-metered inference APIs.

Rafay and Lenovo already share multiple customers globally, with Sharon AI – a publicly
traded neocloud based in Australia that runs on Lenovo infrastructure and uses Rafay
to orchestrate its AI infrastructure – being a preeminent example. The two companies
are additionally prosecuting a healthy, joint pipeline of neoclouds and telecommunications
companies.

"The hard part of AI infrastructure is operating GPUs as a service: shared safely
across tenants, governed by policy, and metered so every GPU hour or token ties 
back to revenue," said Rupen Shah, Global AI Ecosystem Partnerships at Rafay Systems."
That operating layer is what Rafay builds. Lenovo customers already rely on Lenovo
for the infrastructure, and with Rafay they can run it as a hybrid AI platform, 
whether they are an enterprise building private AI or a neocloud selling GPU capacity
and tokens."

Lenovo reaches customers through channel partners in more than 180 markets. Learn
