Software
The following functions are included with every ThinkSystem DS4200:
Intelligent Real-time Tiering for HDDs: Storage tiering helps optimize storage use with intelligent
data placement to improve system performance, reduce costs, and simplify management. The DS4200
automatically and dynamically moves frequently accessed data to higher performing HDDs in the
system without manually creating and managing storage tier policies.
All Flash Array (AFA) capability: Meets the demand for higher speed storage and provide higher
IOPs and bandwidth with lower power usage and total cost of ownership than hybrid or HDD-based
solutions.
Rapid Data Protection Technology (ADAPT): Helps improve performance and availability with
significantly faster rebuild time and built-in spare capacity by allowing data to be distributed across all
physical drives in the storage pool (drives do not need to be of the same capacity) and sustaining up to
two concurrent drive failures.
RAID levels 1, 5, 6, and 10 : Provide the flexibility to choose the level of data protection required.
Virtualized storage pools: Enables rapid, flexible storage provisioning and simple configuration
changes. Stored data is distributed across all drive groups in the pool (wide striping) which helps
improve performance, lower latency, and achieve higher volume capacities. When a new drive group is
added to the pool, the system performs automatic rebalancing to utilize all drives in the pool for better
performance.
Thin provisioning: Optimizes efficiency by allocating drive storage space in a flexible manner among
multiple applications, based on the minimum space required by each application at any given time.
With thin provisioning, applications consume only the space they are actually using, not the total space
that has been allocated to them, which allows clients to purchase storage they need today and add
more as application requirements grow.
