Lenovo ThinkSystem DG7200 2U Rack-mount All-Flash Storage Array

When your data grows faster than your storage can keep up, files become hard to find, backups take forever and your team loses valuable time. The PowerScale F900 is a high-performance, scale-out storage system built to handle massive amounts of data while keeping access fast and reliable. It lets you store petabytes of information, protect it with built-in redundancy, and serve it to Windows, Linux or VMware environments without a hitch. If you need a storage solution that grows with your business and never slows you down, the PowerScale F900 is the answer.

PowerScale F900 - Scalable, resilient storage for demanding workloads

The PowerScale F900 solves the problem of limited capacity and performance in traditional storage arrays. When you run out of space or experience bottlenecks, applications suffer and downtime rises. This system expands up to four high-availability (HA) pairs for both NAS and SAN, giving you the ability to add more nodes as your data needs increase. The built-in dual-controller design ensures continuous operation even if a controller fails, so your users always have access to the data they need. With support for a wide range of protocols, the F900 fits seamlessly into any IT environment and eliminates the need for multiple, separate storage devices.

Usages

The PowerScale F900 is ideal for media and entertainment studios that need to edit and stream high-resolution video files, for research labs storing terabytes of experimental data, and for enterprises that require fast backup and disaster-recovery solutions. Its scale-out architecture lets you start with a single node and add more as projects grow, while the extensive protocol list means you can serve both file-level and block-level storage from the same platform. Whether you are running virtual machines, hosting a large database, or providing shared storage for a global workforce, the F900 adapts to each workload without compromising speed or reliability.
