Lenovo ThinkSystem DB610S Gen 6 FC SAN Switch

Product Guide

The Lenovo ThinkSystem DB610S FC SAN Switch provides exceptional price/performance value by

delivering market-leading 32 Gb Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology and combining flexibility, simplicity, and

enterprise-class functionality to meet the demands of growing flash-based storage environments.

Designed to enable maximum flexibility and reliability, the ThinkSystem DB610S is a compact, 1U rack-

mount FC switch that offers low-cost access to industry-leading Storage Area Network (SAN) technology

while providing “pay-as-you-grow” scalability to meet the needs of an evolving storage environment.

The DB610S FC SAN Switch offers 24x SFP+ ports that support 4/8/16/32 Gbps speeds. The DB610S FC

SAN switch provides easy integration into the existing SAN environments while realizing the benefits of

Gen 6 Fibre Channel connectivity, and the switch offers a rich set of standard features with the options to

expand its capabilities as needed.

The DB610S FC SAN Switch can be configured in Access Gateway Mode to simplify deployment. The

switch provides full non-blocking performance with Ports On Demand scalability to support SAN expansion

and enable long-term investment protection.

Did you know?

Lenovo offers models of the DB610S with lifetime warranties which allows customers to get hardware

support and access to FOS support until the end of life of the DB610S switch.

The DB610S FC SAN Switch leverages storage connectivity technologies from Brocade, a leader in Fibre

Channel networking.

The DB610S FC SAN Switch offers dual functionality as either a full-fabric SAN switch or as an N_Port ID

Virtualization (NPIV)-enabled Access Gateway that simplifies server connectivity.

Fabric Vision technology, an extension of Gen 6 Fibre Channel, provides unprecedented insight and

visibility across the SAN with powerful built-in monitoring, management, and diagnostic tools.

Key features

The ThinkSystem DB610S FC SAN Switch offers the following features and benefits:

Provides an affordable enterprise-class 32 Gb FC solution with 24 SFP+ ports to support flash-based

storage environments.

Increases performance for demanding workloads with support for 32 Gbps FC links.

Enables “pay-as-you-grow” scalability from single-switch fabric to full-fabric enterprise capabilities

with Ports On Demand scalability.

Optimizes fabric behavior and ensure sufficient bandwidth for mission-critical applications with

advanced traffic management capabilities and adaptive networking.

Provides proactive, non-intrusive, real-time monitoring and alerting of VM health and performance

with VM Insight through integrated network sensors.

Leverages predefined MAPS policies to automatically identify and isolate devices that cause network

performance issues.

Offers dual functionality as either a full-fabric SAN switch or as an NPIV-enabled Access

Gateway that enhances fabric scalability and simplifies management.

Protects existing device investments with auto-sensing 4, 8, 16, and 32 Gbit/sec capabilities and

native operation with Brocade fabrics.

Runs Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide

range of value-added features.

Leverages Fabric Vision technology’s powerful monitoring, management, and diagnostic tools to

simplify administration, increase uptime, and reduce costs.

Supplies a rich set of standard features at no extra cost, including fabric services, advanced zoning,

adaptive networking, full fabric and access gateway operations, and diagnostic tools.

Expands fabric capabilities with optional licensed functions, including trunking, advanced monitoring

and alerting, and long-distance fabrics.

Allow organizations to seamlessly integrate Gen 6 Fibre Channel networks with the next generation

of flash storage – NVMe over Fibre Channel – by being NVMe-ready, without a disruptive rip and

replace, to achieve faster application response times and harness the performance of solid state

drives for better scalability across virtual data centers with flash storage.

Accelerates troubleshooting with built-in advanced diagnostics tools featuring ClearLink Diagnostics

with D_Ports and select adapters from QLogic and Emulex, which helps ensure optical and signal

integrity for 16 Gb and 32 Gb Fibre Channel optics and cables.

For details on the latest features supported with the DB610S FC SAN Switch see the Administration Guide

for the latest available Fabric OS version 8.2 or 9.0 and above:
