Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series – Product Brief

Overview

The Lenovo ThinkSystem DE line of storage systems provide entry level block storage in a variety of hybrid or all flash models. The ThinkSystem DE series replaces Lenovo’s V3700 entry level systems.

ThinkSystem DE systems feature an active-active dual controller design in a 2U or 4U chassis depending on the model. The DE system consists of the DE4000F and DE6000F all flash models, as well as the DE2000H, DE4000H, and DE6000H hybrid models.

The entry level Lenovo systems offer up to 2.94 PB of raw capacity in the all flash models and up 5.76 PB in the hybrid models. The systems can scale up with the addition of up to seven expansion shelves (3 for the DE200H).  The DE models support 16 and 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel and 10 and 25 GigE iSCSI host connectivity.

The ThinkSystem DE series offer a number of features that are desirable in a block storage system including snapshots, synchronous and asynchronous mirroring, and data at rest encryption. Lenovo also utilizes their Dynamic Drive Pools technology for data protection and simplification of RAID management. DE systems utilize Lenovo’s XClarity Administrator for resource management through a web-based interface.

For the top level all flash model, the DE6000F, Lenovo has claimed performance metrics of up to 1 million IOPS and 21 GB/s read throughput. For the DE4000H model, Lenovo has reported 300K IOPS and 10 GB/s read throughput.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
