ETERNUS – Business-Centric Storage

The digitization of the world results in a tremendous acceleration of data creation. New sources and new types of applications are creating new data streams which need to be transported, processed and stored. This results in new requirements for storage technologies, depending on the business scenario. For real-time business analytics, large data volumes require faster storage response times. Storage systems for business-critical data need to be more scalable and provide stronger fault tolerance. The extreme growth of unstructured data triggered by data services like online archives, file sharing, video streaming, etc. drive new software-defined, hyper-scale architectures for a second storage tier. Furthermore, backup and archiving need to scale into much greater dimensions. Storage professionals must adopt new storage technologies to allow for the right balance between storage capacity, speed, scalability, robustness and cost. Fujitsu Business-Centric Storage and the ETERNUS brand offer storage solutions for all business scenarios to help storage professionals provide the right data service levels while reducing costs at the same time.

All-flash systems are the right choice if you want to offer minimum response times for performance-critical applications such as business analytics, VDI, large-scale server virtualization or high-load OLTP. However, all-flash arrays with purpose-built system architectures are very expensive, and create storage silos which need to be managed separately. What’s more, they offer very little in the way of high availability. All this changes when you opt for the ETERNUS DX200F All-Flash storage system.

How ETERNUS DX200F differentiates from other flash arrays

One of the key objectives of storage professionals in the area of production storage is to deliver the required data service levels at a reasonable cost. In order to contain the costs of data growth, the agenda should be to consolidate business data on fewer systems and to reduce unnecessary capacity buffers so that smaller and less expensive system classes can be used. Furthermore, operational efficiency needs to be improved in order to enable the same team to manage more data.

The typical challenges for these initiatives are: ■ Manage the storage performance bottlenecks when increasing capacity utilization■ Synchronize the performance resources of storage systems with business priorities■ Ensure high availability and disaster resilience for business-critical data at a reason-

able cost

FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Efficient storage management – always in tune with your business priorities

Accelerate data accesswith flash storage

Consolidate storage with innovative RAID systems

ETERNUS DX systems are built on a leading performance architecture, resulting in 20 to 30 percent better performance than comparable system classes: This has been proven in official and published SPC benchmarks. Performance is the key enabler for hosting more data on a storage system to enhance utilization rates with no resource conflicts. With ETERNUS DX, customers can safely realize up to 90 percent of capacity utilization, whereas a typical average is 60 percent. This is further supported by automated service management, which not only allocates system performance according to business priorities but also eliminates the need for manual tuning. The consistent ETERNUS DX family concept provides a unified

management system across the product line, which enables seamless operation and compatible data exchange between all models. This is yet another contribution to lean operations. And the unique ETERNUS cluster technology provides comprehensive business continuity for data services with the help of a transparent failover from one system to another in just a few seconds. All of these innovations support storage professionals in delivering a reliable data service at a lower cost. This is a perfect example of Business-Centric Storage.

Protect data with backup appliances for fast recovery

In many organizations, the backup infrastructures are no longer able to cope with the flood of data. To achieve Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), they therefore use backup-to-disk solutions, but these are often isolated solutions for individual environments. These silos result in a high level of complexity, high investment and operating costs, and costly migrations once the limits of scalability have been reached. What’s more, backup infrastructures are often inadequately protected against errors, which compromises the availability of backup and restore services.
