This document outlines the Lenovo Validated Design (LVD) for Retail, leveraging Intel® Tiber™ Edge Platform, Viana™ by meldCX®, and Lenovo Open Cloud Automation (LOC-A), to simplify the deployment and management of AI applications and infrastructure. It aims to provide IT professionals, solution architects, and technical teams with a detailed guide for deploying scalable and secure edge computing infrastructure tailored for retail environments. The document describes how the integrated solution simplifies the deployment, orchestration, and management of edge AI applications and infrastructure to enhance retail operations.

The target audience includes IT professionals, technical architects, sales engineers, and channel partners involved in planning and implementing edge solutions in the retail sector.

The document assumes the audience is familiar with:

  • Edge computing concepts and the challenges associated with retail environments.
  • AI inferencing and its applications in retail operations, such as customer engagement and traffic measurement.
  • Basic understanding of Application and Infrastructure deployment and lifecycle management tools.

By addressing key business challenges, such as fragmented infrastructure and rising operational costs, the LVD showcases the benefits of integrating edge computing with AI-driven analytics to deliver real-time insights, streamline operations, and enhance the overall retail experience.
