Why use Lenovo Gen 7 SAN

For best-in-class performance, scalability and security, Lenovo Gen 7 Fibre Channel, built with Brocade technology, transforms your current storage network into an autonomous SAN. With Fibre Channel fabrics that are secure by design, and built-in autonomous SAN capabilities, it not only monitors application and network performance, it also takes action to resolve issues and optimise application performance for the highest availability and reliability.

Take the management out of data management with a cyber-resilient network that safeguards your SAN against cyber-attacks, IT disruptions, and disasters, while learning, optimising, and healing on its own.

The need to refresh old SAN

Legacy infrastructure can limit performance gains from next-generation technologies and leave you exposed to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Simply adding faster switching technology is not enough. Your SAN needs to be able to act autonomously to maintain optimal conditions. Investing to upgrade now will pay dividends for many years to come.

Gen 7 is fully flexible so you can get the most out of your existing infrastructure by easing your migration to new technology while running multiple generations of storage technologies without sacrificing performance. It offers 64G connectivity for an instant performance boost for data-intensive applications while also supporting 8G, 16G, and 32G connectivity for legacy devices.
