Lenovo ThinkSystem DG7000
The ThinkSystem DG7000 was Lenovo's enterprise-class capacity-optimized all-flash storage array powered by Quad-Level Cell (QLC) NVMe drives and Lenovo ONTAP, based on NetApp AFF C800 hardware architecture. Engineered for high-throughput enterprise consolidation, petabyte-scale data lakes, unstructured NAS file shares, and tier-2 VMware virtualization clusters, it combines dense 4U packaging with 48 internal NVMe QLC drive bays and modular host I/O cards up to 100GbE and 32Gb Fibre Channel. Comprehensive data efficiency algorithms allow it to deliver effective flash storage at costs competitive with legacy mechanical arrays. Prospective second-hand buyers should verify ONTAP licensing tiers, inspect QLC NVMe drive health metrics, and ensure quad power supplies and fan trays function normally.
