Lenovo Announces New High-Performance Storage for Small and Midsized Businesses
Lenovo
(HKSE: 0992) (ADR: LNVGY) announced two new SAN offerings today at Lenovo
Tech World - the Lenovo (News - Alert) Storage S2200 and S3200 storage arrays.
Designed for simplicity, speed, scalability and availability, these
feature-rich arrays easily integrate into any network environment. Known
for providing customer value, Lenovo delivers enterprise class SAN
offerings loaded with proven storage innovations at an affordable
entry-level price point. These systems support demanding workloads while
painlessly and economically jump-starting the transition to flash
technology.
The high rate of data growth, flat or shrinking IT budgets and limited
IT resources with a lack of storage expertise can make it difficult for
any business to respond to increased expectations. Lenovo responds to
these and other business challenges with new storage arrays that
simplify management and provide advanced functionality all at an
affordable price.
Business-optimized to support growing business needs
The Lenovo Storage S2200 and S3200 gives businesses simplified data
management for a variety of applications, ranging from general purpose
web serving and data management/analytics that require high IOPs, to
video surveillance and streaming workloads that need high throughput.
These storage arrays offer dual and single controllers in 2U-12 and 24
drive configurations. The S2200 supports up to 96 drives and the S3200
supports up to 192 drives to easily support storage growth. The S2200
and S3200 make connectivity simple. The S2200 and S3200 support Fibre
Channel, iSCSI and SAS (News - Alert), with the S3200 supporting multi-protocol
connectivity that can work with Fibre Channel and iSCSI at the same
time. This combination of flexibility and scalability makes integration
nto nearly any environment easy.
Simple and effective transitions to Flash cost
The Lenovo Storage S2200 and S3200 deliver innovative Intelligent
Real-Time Tiering, which automatically moves frequently accessed data to
higher performing drives every five seconds, significantly increasing
storage performance. With hybrid configurations and Intelligent
Real-Time Tiering, the Lenovo Storage S3200 can provide near
All-Flash-Array (AFA) performance for up to 120,000 IOPS at a fraction
of the cost of today's Flash only systems.
Functionality meets affordability
Every S2200 and S3200 comes with Lenovo SAN Manager. This intuitive GUI
provides advanced features at no extra charge including:
-
Data Tiering - automatically moves data between storage layers
increasing overall storage performance
-
Thin Provisioning - helps customers purchase only the storage needed
for operations,
-
SSD Read Caching - enables priority access to "hot" data accelerating
read performance
-
Rapid RAID Rebuild - minimizes recovery time and risk factors with
rapid data restoration
-
Snapshot - provides point-in-time copies of live data, eliminating the
need for restore and performance hits
-
Storage Pooling - virtualizes storage across multiple drive types
improving IO by up to 2.5x without impacting applications
In addition to redundant power, hot-swappable fans and drives, Lenovo
built these systems for 99.999 percent availability, multi-pathing, and
in-chassis controller upgrades without the need for data migrations or
extended downtime. Storage that is simple to deploy and easy to manage
is now accessible to businesses and budgets of all sizes.
