ThinkVantage Technologies

ThinkVantage Technologies is a set of system support utilities that IBM provided with its desktop computer and laptop range, and then included with the Lenovo Group products since IBM sold their PC division to Lenovo in 2005.

History

In 2002 IBM heavily promoted these tools as part of its "Think" campaign, intended to instill confidence that IBM computers were easier to use and quicker to recover from disaster.[1]

In 2004 IBM provided two of the utilities, Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore and IBM System Migration Assistant as separately available software for use on non-IBM systems.[2]

Additional packages were added to the suite:
