LENOVO STORAGE S3200

Functions and Performance

Lenovo Storage S3200 is a high-performance mid-range SAN with many functions coping with many workloads handling the large treatment volume under any circumstances.
S3200 providing multiple protocol composition and intelligent real-time tiering can offer performance close to almost all frash arrays (AFA) until up to 120,000 IOPS at low costs.
S3200 provides not only high performance but also easy GUI, thin provisioning, virtual snap shots, flash caches, virtualization storages, fast RAID reestablishment and asynchronous cloning.
S3200 is a perfect mid-range SAN for supporting business requests through combining high performance and remarkable functions.

Business Optimization

S3200 is a unique SAN product providing what customers want like high performance, flexible construction and reliability at low prices.
Companies always established with 99.999% availability and multipaths can depend on S3200.
Your data formed with dual controllers, dual power supply devices, hot swap drives and fans can be used when necessary.
When your storage should be expanded, S3200 helps expansion of arrays through horizontally expanding them with thin provisioning.
When companies, large or small, need a simple, flexible and optimized mid-range SAN, Lenovo S3200 is a right choice to support data requests.

Easy Integration

S3200 provides storage flexibility to be easily integrated with all network environments. Customers can choose between the 16 Gbps fiber channel and/or 10 Gbps iSCSI or 12 Gbps SAS with the hybrid connection option.
Adopting such unique multiple protocol connection, S3200 can use FC and iSCSI at the same time. With selection of flexible fabrics, S3200 supports up to 192 drives, virtualizes pooling storages throughout various types of drives and improves I/O.
Combination of such flexibility and virtualization storages in general arrays continuously materializes integration with performance and environment.

S3200 Advantage

Intelligent Real-Time Tiering	Greatly improve performance through automatically migrating data to high-performance drives
Storage management	Simplify complicated management jobs with easy GUI, reestablish RAID fast – Greatly reduce space or time that other stripes need to make restoration
Virtualization Storage	Virtualization storages improve I/O by up to 2.5 times without affecting applications through supporting "pooling" storages throughout various types of drives.
SSD Read Cache	The SSD cache provides preferential accesses to "hot" data improving the cache capacity by 200 times.
Virtualization Snap Shot	Each snap shot has the same volume, supports total reading/writing and can be used singly or in the overlapped form.
Thin Provisioning	Make provisioning of the volume regardless of physical storage. Purchase just necessary storages and add following expansion.
Regular Drive	S3200 that simplifies drives has the same regular drives as Lenovo Storage E1012 and E1024.
Multi Protocol Interface	Can use the 16 Gbps fiber channel and 10 Gbps iSCSI fabrics at the same time.
Entire Drive Encryption	Maintain data locking through 256-bit AES encryption
High Availability	Can use data all the time through supporting hot swap dual controllers, dual PSUs, hot swap-type HDDs, fans, automatic failover and multipaths and protecting data, and established to use 99.999%.
Batteryless Cache Backup	Change batteries or move them to storages to be managed Unnecessary batteryless cache backup provides significant power and flash cache data during power shutdown.
Synchronous Caching	Provide immediate cache mirroring enabling faster mirroring writing than architectures of rival companies
Impressive Capacity	E1012 supporting up to seven expansion enclosures supports 2.5-inch drives and S3200 with various constructions supports up to 12 3.5-inch drives. E1012 assisting up to seven expansion enclosures supports 2.5-inch drives and S3200 supports up to 12 3.5-inch drives with various constructions. E1024 supports up to 24-inch drives and S3200 supports up to 192 drives with various forms of construction. SSD 2.5-inch HDD and 3.5-inch HDD
Asynchronous Cloning	Provide customers with solutions for data protection and fault recovery all the year round so that they can clone the volume among arrays locally or remotely, provide cloning support to the S3200 system or between S3200/S2200 systems
