provide required performance levels for the most demanding server applications while significantly lowering
deployment and support costs.
The N4610 features up to 96 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
