Features
Modern Storage Platform
The Lenovo Software-Defined Solution with DataCore is a software-defined storage (SDS) offering designed to help customers efficiently manage increasing storage complexity and demands. It pools diverse storage assets, letting you run more workloads with better performance and availability. It also provides easy scalability and single pane management.
Accelerates Performance
The SDS Solution with DataCore speeds up your application’s response times using DataCore’s Multi-Core Parallel I/O Technology. In combination with Lenovo ThinkSystem’s powerful processors and high-speed RAM caching, this parallel I/O technology provides your users with a significant improvement in overall application speed and your business with increased productivity.
Supports Legacy Storage
The SDS Solution with DataCore takes isolated storage devices, sometimes spread between different locations, and places them under one common set of enterprise-wide services. It pools their collective resources, managing them centrally and uniformly despite the differences and incompatibilities among manufacturers, models and generations of equipment in use. The net result is faster performance, higher availability and greater cost savings across your company through consolidation.
Fits Any Environment
With DataCore on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, you get more efficiency and performance out of your storage infrastructure. Scale up or scale out your software defined storage solution with:
- ThinkSystem SR630 – a 1U 2-processor system that provides high performance and a large storage capacity;
- ThinkSystem SR650 – a 2U 2-processor system designed for speed and expansion with flexible storage and I/O options; or
- ThinkSystem SR950 – a powerful 4U 8-processor system for workloads requiring large memory and storage capacity
