Lenovo ThinkSystem DB720S Gen7 FC SAN Switch

SKU: 7D5JA002WW

The Lenovo ThinkSystem DB720S Gen 7 FC SAN Switch, with its unmatched 64Gbps performance and industry-leading port density, provides a building block that supports data growth, demanding workloads, and data-center consolidation. With a 50% latency reduction compared to the previous generation, the DB720S Switch enables the maximum performance of NVMe storage.

  • Provides high scalability in an ultra-dense, 1U switch with up to 56 ports, providing up to 64 connections with the use of SFP-DD transceivers, to support high-density server virtualization, cloud architectures, and flash-based storage environments.
  • Increases scalability by using SFP-DD transceivers that provide dual SN connections that allow organizations to connect more servers, storage, or switches in a small footprint. Each transceiver supports two independent connections of 64G Fibre Channel via a two-lane electrical interface.
  • Accelerates critical workloads with 64Gb/s links
  • Maximizes performance of NVMe storage with 50% lower switching latency than Gen 6
  • Enables pay-as-you-grow scalability from 24 to 64 ports-for on-demand flexibility
  • Safeguards mission-critical workloads from vulnerabilities with Gen 7 integrated security.
  • Provides cyber-resiliency with integrated security technology that protects mission-critical operations by validating the integrity of Gen 7 hardware and software.
  • Guarantees critical application performance by automatically prioritizing traffic and avoiding congestion with Brocade Traffic optimizer.
  • Simplifies troubleshooting by identifying and isolating issues
  • Collects comprehensive telemetry data across the fabric to enable powerful analytics
