Lenovo ThinkSystem DE6600: High-Performance Storage for HPC
High-Performance Computing (HPC) isn't just about powerful processors—it's equally about ensuring rapid data access. Lenovo's ThinkSystem DE6600 series is engineered to meet these demanding needs, delivering exceptional throughput with ultra-low latency.
Blazing Fast Data Access
Equipped with an end-to-end NVMe architecture, the DE6600 achieves sub-100 microsecond latency and can deliver up to 2 million IOPS. This means compute nodes spend less time waiting for data, boosting overall efficiency. With sequential read speeds of 42–44 GB/s, large datasets can stream seamlessly to simulation engines, AI training clusters, and real-time analytics systems. Such performance is a significant advantage for organizations seeking faster insights.
Scalable and Flexible
Starting at 367 TB, the DE6600 scales seamlessly up to 1.8 PiB in all-flash configurations or 7.7 PiB when using hybrid setups. This scalability supports rapid growth without the need for disruptive migrations. The system integrates smoothly with common HPC protocols like BeeGFS and supports high-speed transfer methods such as NVMe over RoCE, NVMe-FC, InfiniBand, and iSCSI.
Designed for Reliability and Ease of Use
Reliability features include active-active controllers, Dynamic Disk Pools for advanced protection, and an impressive 99.9999% uptime, ensuring workloads remain operational even under peak demand. Simplified management is provided through Lenovo XClarity, making the system easy to operate and maintain.
Efficient and Cost-Effective
Compared to traditional SAS arrays, the DE6600's NVMe architecture doubles throughput and optimizes cost per IOPS, enabling organizations to allocate budget toward compute resources and accelerate innovation.
