Disk Storage System
The Flexible Data Safe for Dynamic Infrastructures.

ETERNUS DX S2 DISK STORAGE SYSTEMS
Fujitsu’s second generation of ETERNUS DX
disk storage systems, ETERNUS DX S2, are ‘The
Flexible Data Safe’ for Dynamic Infrastructures.
Enterprise-proven capabilities protect data
assets across all types of IT infrastructure.
Redundant components, RAID protection and
build-in data protection provide the highest
system reliability to ensure business continuity
is maintained.
ETERNUS DX S2 models are comprehensive
disk storage platforms with superior scalability
to address the demands of intensive data
growth and highest performance. Free choice
of modular disk storage and state-of-the-art
connectivity across the entire model range
delivers maximum configuration flexibility
allowing choice in performance and TCO.
The unified ETERNUS SF storage management
software enables single point administration,
easy data protection and efficient operation
across the entire ETERNUS DX range. In
virtualized IT environments in particular,
ETERNUS SF perfectly integrates the powerful
ETERNUS DX disk storage with minimal
administration effort.

ETERNUS DX8700 S2
The ETERNUS DX8700 S2 enterprise disk
storage system, with Intel® Xeon® processors
is purpose-built for large enterprises.
Enterprises are no longer forced to anticipate
future capacity demand levels and to select a
specific high-end model with limited
data-capacity range. The unique modular
architecture offers flexibly scaling according to
business needs. With minimum initial costs
customers can start with a two controller
module system and four drive enclosures.
Maximum performance with up to 128
front-end host ports can be obtained by
scaling up to eight controller modules. FC,
FCoE and iSCSI host interfaces can operate in
mixed configurations.
Software license pricing is based on the
number of controllers used only. This
transparent licensing model allows gradual
capacity upgrading to the maximum drive
count without resulting in capacity based price
increases. Fujitsu’s Flexible Data Management
concept enables a higher level of automation
for storage tiering, including support for SAS,
Nearline SAS and SSD drives that ensure
optimum service levels while reducing the
overall total cost of storage.
System robustness based on redundant
components and local data copy options
ensure high availability for today’s non-stop
business. Multiple remote replication options
protect all valuable data assets against site
outages.
