Organizations are under pressure to maximize the performance, productivity, and efficiency of their storage investments and resources, even as they rapidly scale their environments. In addition, they need to protect their enterprise against disruptions, outages, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities to ensure continuous availability.
To address these requirements and the demands of an always-on data center, it is essential for organizations to deploy a modernized infrastructure that provides a faster, more intelligent, and more resilient network. With unmatched performance, integrated security, and automated SAN management technologies, Lenovo ThinkSystem DB Series Gen 7 products transform current storage networks into an autonomous SAN and safeguard it against cybersecurity and business-continuity challenges that threaten to disrupt data center operations.
The ThinkSystem DB730S Switch delivers industry-leading port density with 128 Fibre Channel ports in a 2U form factor. Organizations can both increase scalability and optimize space utilization. Built to support maximum flexibility and dense Fibre Channel fabrics, the DB730S Switch offers cost- effective pay-as-you-grow scalability, expanding from 48 ports to 128 ports with Ports on Demand (PoD).
The DB730S base configuration comes with 48 ports enabled. To scale from 48 ports to 128 ports, additional 24-port SFP+ PODs and a 32-port SFP-DD POD can be installed in any order and combination. The 32-port SFP-DD POD includes 16 SFP-DD transceivers where each SFP-DD transceiver provides 2 ports, allowing 32 ports available for device or ISL connectivity. With a 50% latency reduction compared to the previous generation and no oversubscription, the DB730S enables the maximum performance for Flash and NVMe storage for high-transaction workloads.
