Description
The Lenovo ThinkSystem DE2000H 7Y71A00QWW is a 2U24 SFF hybrid storage array designed to deliver reliable, flexible, and cost-effective enterprise storage for businesses, branch offices, and data-intensive workloads. This preconfigured model features dual active-active Gen2 controllers with 8GB memory per controller, providing high availability, automatic load balancing, and failover protection.
With support for up to 24 hot-swappable 2.5-inch SFF drives in the base enclosure, the DE2000H accommodates SAS HDDs and SSDs to balance storage capacity and application performance. The platform can expand to as many as 96 SFF drives using supported Lenovo DE Series expansion enclosures.
The DE2000H supports multiple host connectivity technologies through host interface cards, including 12Gb SAS, 10/25Gb iSCSI, 8/16/32Gb Fibre Channel, and 1/10Gb iSCSI, allowing it to integrate with a wide range of server and SAN environments.
Built-in storage capabilities include Dynamic Disk Pools, RAID, SSD read cache, snapshots, volume copy, thin provisioning, encryption support, and data assurance. Redundant controllers, power supplies, hot-swappable components, and non-disruptive firmware upgrades help provide continuous availability for business-critical storage environments.
