We use the DE series, the 2000 and DE4000. It's DE, All-Flash storage. We use Lenovo with the VMware solution. We have VMware with virtual machines and the production storage is the Lenovo DE4000 Hybrid. The solution for backup is Lenovo Storage 2000. For the moment, we use the solution in respect of our three hosts, for VMware and for storage.
We sell the Lenovo ThinkSystem DE 4000 or 6000 series storage arrays. The clients that we sell the products to are mostly manufacturers and the use case for ThinkSystem is always production for storing and operating their virtual environment, which means the units are almost always used for VMware. It is just typical storage for production and virtual machines.
We use this solution to house our VMware Virtual Machines. We have three data centers, and I am responsible for troubleshooting the environment. We are currently using the on-premise deployment model, although we are starting our migration to AWS. I expect that it will take no more than six or seven months.
Flash storage is a data storage technology that delivers high-speed, programmable memory. It is called flash storage because of the speed at which it writes data and performs input/output (I/O) operations.
I do the initial configuration of Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series and then the customer manages the whole storage solution.
We use this solution primarily for VMware, where we have three servers and storage of the VMs. The solution is deployed on-premises.
ThinkSystem is mostly for application systems and database systems like Oracle SQL Server. We also sometimes use it for SAP environments.
We use Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series for small businesses, primarily for VM workloads, as well as for block storage.
