    Description

    The Lenovo ThinkSystem DB630S delivers industry-leading pay-as-you-grow scalability in a compact 2U chassis, expanding seamlessly from 48 up to 128 active ports. Each Q-Flex port can trunk up to eight 128 Gbps links for a single logical ISL, maximizing bandwidth without adding rack-space overhead.

    Built on market-leading Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology, the DB630S achieves up to 566 million frames per second and up to 200 million IOPS, while maintaining port-to-port latency under 780 ns (with FEC). In-flight encryption and data compression optimize long-haul performance and secure data in transit.

    Designed for mission-critical environments, the DB630S integrates enterprise RAS features, hot-swap power supplies and fans, and Lenovo’s Fabric Vision® analytics—IO Insight and VM Insight—for deep visibility and rapid troubleshooting via embedded REST APIs.

    Key Features

    • “Pay-as-you-grow scalability” from 48 to 128 active ports in 2U
    • High-density Q-Flex ports: 128 Gbps per port, up to eight-way ISL trunking (256 Gbps full-duplex)
    • Gen 6 Fibre Channel: up to 566 Mfps throughput, ≤780 ns latency (with FEC)
    • In-flight encryption & compression for secure, optimized long-distance links
    • Enterprise RAS: hot-swap PSUs & fans, integrated routing software, F/E/EC/D port support

    Compatibility

    The DB630S is Certified for major SAN platforms including Dell EMC PowerStore/Unity, NetApp AFF/ONTAP, HPE 3PAR/Prime, and IBM FlashSystem. It integrates with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and OpenStack through native drivers, and supports major backup and replication solutions from Veeam, Commvault, and Veritas.

    Usage Scenarios

    In hyperscale data centers, leverage the DB630S’s high-density Q-Flex ports and 4 Tbps fabric to interconnect storage clusters and significantly reduce rack footprint, while maintaining low latency for real-time analytics workloads.

    For enterprise disaster-recovery sites, the built-in in-flight encryption and compression protect data over long-haul ISLs, ensuring secure, high-throughput replication between primary and secondary SAN fabrics.

    In virtualized environments, REST API automation combined with Fabric Vision® analytics accelerates deployment and troubleshooting of large SAN fabrics, reducing manual configuration errors and increasing operational agility.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Q1: How does “pay-as-you-grow scalability” work on the DB630S?
      A: You start with 48 active ports and license additional ports in 24-port or 8-port increments up to 128, enabling CAPEX-friendly expansion without chassis swaps.
    • Q2: Can the DB630S support full fabric encryption?
      A: Yes. In-flight AES-256 encryption secures all SAN traffic with minimal performance impact, thanks to dedicated hardware offload.
    • Q3: What automation options are available?
      A: The embedded REST APIs allow integration with Ansible, Puppet, and other orchestration tools for zero-touch deployments and health monitoring.
    • Q4: How does Fabric Vision® improve uptime?
      A: Fabric Vision® provides real-time IO Insight and VM Insight telemetry, predictive alerts, and end-to-end performance dashboards to detect and resolve issues before they impact applications.
