The S2200 is also well-suited for secure archivestorage or a low-cost backup solution.Figure 1. Lenovo Storage S2200The S2200 offers the flexible choice of 6/12 Gb SAS, 1/10 Gb iSCSI, and 4/8 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) hostconnectivity protocols. The Converged Network Controller (CNC) design of the S2200 makes theselection of iSCSI or FC host connectivity as simple as attaching corresponding transceivers orDirect-Attach Copper (DAC) cables to the SFP/SFP+ ports on the RAID controller.The S2200 supports up to 96 drives with up to three external expansion enclosures. It also offers flexibledrive configurations with the choice of 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive form factors, 10 K or 15 K rpm SAS and7.2 K rpm NL SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) and self-encrypting drives (SEDs), and SAS solid-state drives(SSDs).
