    Description

    The #DE4000H is a hybrid entry-level storage array featuring dual active/active controllers with 8 GB or 32 GB per controller, scaling to 3 PB of raw capacity via up to 192 SFF or LFF drives in 2U12, 2U24, 4U60 form factors (plus DE120S, DE240S, DE600S expansions). Its Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) technology combined with traditional RAID levels delivers both performance and data protection, while flexible host connectivity spans 1/10 GbE iSCSI, 4/8/16 Gb FC, 12 Gb SAS, and 10/25 GbE iSCSI interfaces Lenovo PressLenovo Press.

    The #DE2000H offers a compact 2 U chassis supporting up to 96 drives and 1.47 PB raw capacity with the same hybrid architecture, dual controllers (16 GB total), and block-storage ports—including 10/25 GbE iSCSI, 8/16/32 Gb FC, and 12 Gb SAS—ideal for SMB and ROBO deployments requiring cost-effective scalability .

    The #DM5000F is an all-flash array running ONTAP software, supporting up to 144 SSDs and clustering up to twelve nodes for over 2.2 PB of raw unified block/NAS storage. With 64 GB RAM, battery-backed NVRAM, multi-protocol host ports (1/10 GbE, 8/16 Gb FC), and advanced data services (snapshots, dedupe, compression, encryption), it delivers enterprise-class flash performance and efficiency .

    Lenovo’s broader ThinkSystem DE/DM portfolio—including the DE6000H, DE4000F hybrid, DM3000F, and DM8000—extends these architectures to higher capacities and NVMe-optimized configurations, ensuring matched solutions from entry-level to enterprise scale Lenovo Press.

    Compatibility

    ThinkSystem DE/DM arrays support major hypervisors and OS platforms—VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu LTS—and integrate with Lenovo XClarity, NetApp ONTAP tools, and third-party orchestration via RESTful APIs and SNMP Lenovo Press.

    Usage Scenarios

    1. Enterprise Consolidation: DE4000H’s large-scale hybrid pools suit consolidated VM, database, and archival workloads, delivering sub-millisecond response with DDP and multi-path I/O.
    2. Branch & ROBO: DE2000H offers cost-effective block storage with simplified expansion, ideal for remote offices needing local resilience and centralized management.
    3. Flash-Optimized Performance: DM5000F accelerates analytics, AI/ML inference, and VDI with all-flash low latency, unified block/NAS access, and nondisruptive scaling via clustering.
    4. Growth-Oriented Scale-Out: Start small on the DE/DM platform and nondisruptively expand capacity, performance, and data services as business demands evolve.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Q1: How far can the DE4000H scale?
    DE4000H scales from 12/24/60 drives in its base chassis up to 192 drives with attached DE120S, DE240S, and DE600S expansion enclosures.

    Q2: What protocols does DE2000H support?
    DE2000H supports 1/10 GbE iSCSI, 8/16/32 Gb FC, and 12 Gb SAS, enabling flexible connectivity for mixed-protocol environments.

    Q3: Can DM5000F be used for both SAN and NAS?
    Yes—DM5000F’s ONTAP software provides unified SAN (FC/iSCSI) and NAS (NFS/SMB) services, with data efficiency features across both.

    Q4: What data protection features are standard?
    All arrays include snapshots, replication, thin provisioning, compression, deduplication, and encryption; DE series adds DDP, while DM series employs RAID-DP/TEC for enhanced resilience.
