Lenovo ThinkSystem DE2000H 2U24 Hybrid Storage Array Rack

The Lenovo 7Y71A000WW is a ThinkSystem DE2000H storage array that brings hybrid flexibility to a standard 2U rack. It is built for small and medium businesses that need enterprise-level reliability without the cost and complexity of a full data-center system.

This array accepts up to 24 small form factor drives, so you can start with a modest number of hard drives or solid-state drives and expand as your data grows. If capacity needs surge, simply attach Lenovo expansion enclosures and scale to as many as 96 drives without taking applications offline.

Two onboard controllers share 16 GB of cache to keep frequently accessed data close to the processors. Four 16 Gb Fibre Channel ports and four 12 Gb SAS ports let you connect to a mix of host servers, backup devices, or existing SAN fabrics, which makes it easy to drop the DE2000H into almost any environment.

Hot-swappable drive bays, dual power supplies, and support for RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 help protect data and keep workloads available even during maintenance. Whether you run virtual machines in a branch office, handle analytics jobs in a research lab, or store backup images for disaster recovery, the DE2000H provides a balance of performance, capacity, and straightforward management.
