IT supplier Lenovo has completed its last hardware shipment ahead of next year's Olympic Games in Beijing.

The manufacturer delivered more than 3,500 pieces of equipment, including 2,375 desktop computers, 141 notebooks and 140 servers. In total, Lenovo has provided the Games with some 14,000 IT devices.

The equipment will now be put to the test via a series of 42 sports events, known as Good Luck Beijing. The trials will commence on 8 August, which marks the one-year countdown to the 2008 Olympics.

'The upcoming tests are, in effect, a full rehearsal for the 2008 Games, ensuring the reliability of the hardware that forms the Games’ computing backbone,' said Yang Yichun, technology director for the event's organising committee.
