Background
With the spread of the Internet of Things, there is a need for new "systems of engagement," which are used to consolidate and analyze heterogeneous data, in addition to the existing "systems of record," which are used in enterprise systems to keep accurate records of the results of business processes.
|

|
While systems of record will continue to be used and upgraded in the future, there will be a need to build new systems that can connect to systems of engagement to encourage new ways to use data.
|

|
Fujitsu is now offering the ETERNUS DX8000 S3 series, with significantly improved processing performance for diverse applications ranging from enterprise systems for business and social infrastructure systems to new types of systems designed for innovation that require flexibility.

Key Features of the ETERNUS DX8000 S3 Series
1. Outstanding processing performance for instant access to data
Improving controller performance and maximizing the number of controllers improves peak performance eight-fold compared to the previous model, achieving world-class levels of roughly 4 million IOPS.
|
Combining leading performance architecture with automated quality of service management the Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX series aligns storage resources with business priorities, thus enabling higher system utilization and delivering increased system consolidation capabilities and a faster ROI.

Input-output per second.
A measurement of the number of read/write operations that can be processed per second.
This outstanding processing performance ensures instant data utilization.
|
The scalable, unified Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX500 S3 system delivers leading storage performance and automated quality of service management enabling a maximum of system utilization and contributing to a fast ROI.
The ETERNUS DX500 S3 has a maximum capacity of 3,168 TB, supports up to 528 SSDs, SAS and Nearline SAS drives in mixed configuration and is equipped with 4 to 16 host interfaces.

|
Newly added support for Extreme Cache, an SSD cache built into the controller using the latest flash technology, greatly increases the rate of cache hits on read operations, resulting in a four-fold performance improvement in an internal comparison.
|
The Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX8700 S3 is purpose-built for large enterprises and ideal for the data management of business-critical core applications and the consolidation of large-scale data centers.
The Quad Star Architecture with 2 to 8 controllers provides storage capacity with up to 1536 disk drives and performance in the million IOPS range.

|
SSD caches are options on the ETERNUS DX8700 S3 and ETERNUS DX8900 S3. Support is newly added for the ETERNUS DX8000 series.
Performance improvement achieved by adding four Extreme Cache units to ETERNUS DX8700 S3 in a 100-disk configuration.
|
The Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX8900 S3 systems are purpose-built for large enterprises and ideal for the data management of business-critical core applications and the consolidation of biggest data centers.
The Quad Star Architecture with 2 to 24 controllers provides storage capacity with up to 4608 disk drives and performance of more than 4 million IOPS.

|
Using a large Extreme Cache alleviates loads at times of heavy access and can flexibly accommodate unpredictable changes in the environment.
2. New self-tuning functionality improves responsiveness, enabling flexible resource utilization
An automatic hierarchical-control function that redistributes data storage targets among disks and SSDs in response to access frequency is newly connected to a QoS function that automatically adjusts internal storage resource allocation in response to performance targets, improving responsiveness.
|
Do you need 100% data availability for your databases, virtual machines and websites?
Are you searching for secure and automated transparent failover?
How about a solution that is even more cost-efficient than storage virtualization?
To prevent such a calamity from happening, the Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX series offers a number of functions that safeguard businesses against disasters without complexity or high costs.
ETERNUS DX systems also support a manual failover process which is required in the event of planned power shutdowns, DR tests and non-disruptive upgrades.

|
The ETERNUS DX8000 series has new support in the form of the connectivity functions in the software ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser.
When targeted responsiveness levels are not achieved using the QoS function's automatic tuning, data is redistributed to high-speed storage targets using the storage automatic hierarchical-control function, which boosts responsiveness.
|
More and more virtual machines are being deployed to run all types of business services in VMware environments, from simple file share solutions up to business critical applications.
But getting virtual machines (VMs) to run today requires considerable efforts from both your VMware administrators and your storage specialists.
Close coordination is required and even with the best operational processes, deploying your VMs can take more time than you would like.
VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVOL) are due to be released in 2015 and have been designed to help streamline deployment, make ongoing administration of VMs more straightforward, and to allow each VM to be managed individually.

|
This provides required performance levels in diverse access environments without complex performance settings.
3. More efficient operations in virtual environments
Support has been added for VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes, which makes storage operations more efficient for virtualized server environments using the VMware vSphere virtualization platform.

|
The ETERNUS DX8000 series has new support in the form of the connectivity functions in the software ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser.
By simplifying storage settings, it had been the case that multiple virtual machines were stored in an equivalent storage volume and operated on a per-volume basis.
This made backups and performance tuning for each virtual machine difficult.
|

|
Using VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes makes it easy to set operations policies for virtual machines, such as backups and QoS, and using the vSphere Web Client interface storage operations can be optimized for the requirements of each virtual machine.
