About the Lenovo ThinkSystem DM7100H (NetApp-based Hybrid Flash)
NFS, CIFS/SMB, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel protocols converge on the Lenovo ThinkSystem DM7100H, a hybrid flash storage system designed for enterprises requiring unified NAS and SAN capability on a single platform. Built on NetApp ONTAP, this rack-mount appliance (part number 7Y59) combines SSD cache with SAS and NL-SAS HDD capacity tiers to deliver both performance and economics for large-scale data operations. Lenovo's ThinkSystem DM Series architecture features dual-controller active-active high availability with automatic non-disruptive failover, ensuring continuous availability for mission-critical workloads.
The system employs inline deduplication, compression, compaction, and thin provisioning to maximize storage efficiency, while NetApp SnapMirror supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication for disaster recovery and data protection. Space-efficient, application-consistent ONTAP native snapshots simplify backup operations, and management is handled through NetApp ONTAP System Manager, REST API, and Lenovo XClarity compatibility. Storage architects and IT procurement teams will value the multiprotocol support that eliminates vendor lock-in, enabling seamless integration with existing SAN and NAS infrastructure. For organizations deploying on-premises enterprise data centers, the ThinkSystem DM7100H addresses demanding secondary storage, VM datastore, and file service requirements with a single, unified platform.
Target Workloads & Deployment Scenarios
- Data lakes and large-scale analytics repositories requiring high-capacity, cost-effective tiered storage
- Backup and disaster recovery repositories leveraging NetApp SnapMirror and SnapVault capabilities
- Virtual machine datastores across vSphere and hypervisor environments using multiprotocol access
- File services and collaboration platforms via unified NAS protocol support (NFS and CIFS/SMB)
- Secondary storage consolidation for mixed SAN and NAS environments reducing operational complexity
