The ThinkSystem DB630S is Lenovo's high-density 2U Gen 6 Fibre Channel SAN switch, engineered on Brocade G630 OEM hardware. Designed to deliver high throughput and low-latency connectivity for enterprise data centers standardizing on all-flash NVMe arrays and high-density virtualization fabrics, it accommodates up to 128 total Fibre Channel ports (96 SFP+ ports at 32Gb/s and 8 Q-Flex QSFP ports capable of 128Gb/s trunking or 4x32Gb breakout). The switch offers pay-as-you-grow port activation starting at 48 or 96 ports.
