Did you know?

The N4610, which is a unified storage platform that is based on ThinkServer and Windows Storage

Server 2012 R2 innovations, offers the flexible choice of storage protocols (iSCSI, SMB, CIFS, and NFS)

and can provide required performance levels for the most demanding server applications while

significantly lowering deployment and support costs.

The N4610 features up to 72 TB of internal storage capacity (raw) in a dense 2U rack form-factor, a

Lenovo AnyRAID™ advanced RAID controller, Lenovo AnyFabric™ 4x Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE,) or 2x 10

Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) network ports (model-dependent). More network connectivity options also are

available (2-port and 4-port 1 GbE with RJ-45 connectors and 2-port 10 GbE with SFP+ or RJ-45

connectors) and I/O scalability with up to eight PCIe 3.0 slots.

The N4610 can be scaled up to 372.8 TB of storage with the optional Lenovo ThinkServer SA120 Storage

Enclosure units (up to four units are supported).

Unlike Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 does not require client access

licenses and provides a virtually unlimited number of supported clients for storage sharing purposes.

Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 provides flexible support for Microsoft and ISV anti-virus and backup

applications.
