Lenovo ThinkSystem DB630S 32Gb FC SAN Switch
Part Number: 7D1SA001WW
The Lenovo ThinkSystem DB630S FC SAN Switch delivers 32 Gb Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology with industry-leading port density and combines scalability, reliability, flexibility, simplicity, and enterprise-class functionality to meet the demands of hyper-scale, private cloud storage, and growing flash-based and NVMe storage environments.
The DB630S FC SAN Switch is a dense, 2U rack-mount storage networking switch that offers 96x SFP+ ports that support 4/8/10/16/32 Gbps speeds and 8x QSFP+ ports that support 128 Gbps (4x 32 Gbps) or 4x 4/8/16/32 Gbps speeds. The DB630S FC SAN switch offers a rich set of standard features with the options to expand its capabilities as needed, providing “pay-as-you-grow” scalability to meet the needs of an evolving storage environment.
The DB630S FC SAN Switch features the EZSwitchSetup wizard to simplify deployment, and it provides easy integration into the existing SAN environments while realizing the benefits of Gen 6 Fibre Channel connectivity. The switch provides full non-blocking performance with Ports On Demand scalability to support SAN expansion and enable long-term investment protection.
Key features
The ThinkSystem DB630S FC SAN Switch offers the following features and benefits:
Provides high scalability in a dense, 2U switch with 96 SFP+ ports and 8 QSFP+ ports (each QSFP+ port has 4x 32 Gb FC links for 128 Gb FC connectivity between the DB630S or DB620S FC SAN switches, or it can be broken out to four links to 4/8/16/32 Gbps SWL optics in a server HBA, storage device, or another FC switch, for a total of up to 128 connections) to support high-density server virtualization, cloud architectures, and flash-based storage environments.
Enables cost-effective “pay-as-you-grow” scalability from 48 to 128 ports with Ports On Demand (POD).
Increases performance for demanding workloads with support for 128 Gbps (4x 32 Gbps) and 32 Gbps FC links.
Simplifies end-to-end management of large-scale environments by automating repetitive daily management tasks.
Optimizes fabric behavior and ensure sufficient bandwidth for mission-critical applications with advanced traffic management capabilities and adaptive networking.
Provides proactive, non-intrusive, real-time monitoring and alerting of VM and storage I/O health and performance with VM Insight and IO Insight through integrated network sensors.
Leverages predefined MAPS policies to automatically identify and isolate devices that cause network performance issues.
Protects existing device investments with auto-sensing 4, 8, 16, and 32 Gbit/sec capabilities and native operation with Brocade fabrics.
Runs Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide range of value-added features.
Leverages Fabric Vision technology’s powerful monitoring, management, and diagnostic tools to simplify administration, increase uptime, and reduce costs.
Supplies a rich set of standard features at no extra cost, including fabric services, advanced zoning, adaptive networking, full fabric operations, integrated 10 Gb FC, and diagnostic tools.
Expands fabric capabilities with optional licensed functions, including trunking, advanced monitoring and alerting, long-distance fabrics, and FC-FC routing.
Compresses and encrypts in-flight data on up to 12 ports for more efficient link utilization and higher security.
Virtualizes physical FC SAN switches and fabrics into logical entities for better flexibility, utilization, management, and efficiency.
Allows organizations to seamlessly integrate Gen 6 Fibre Channel networks with the next generation of flash storage – NVMe over Fibre Channel – by being NVMe-ready, without a disruptive rip and replace, to achieve faster application response times and harness the performance of solid state drives for better scalability across virtual data centers with flash storage.
Optimizes performance and ensures reliability with enhanced monitoring for NVMe.
Maximizes resiliency with redundant hot-swap fan assembly units and power supplies.
Accelerates troubleshooting with built-in advanced diagnostics tools featuring ClearLink Diagnostics with D_Ports and select adapters from QLogic and Emulex, which helps ensure optical and signal integrity for 16 Gb and 32 Gb Fibre Channel optics and cables.
