SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/24/09 -- Fujitsu today announced in North America the availability of the mid-range ETERNUS^® DX400 series disk storage system, and enterprise-class ETERNUS^® DX8000 series, both featuring maximum data and system availability, security, and operational efficiency.

News Highlights
Designed to provide multi-dimensional scalability and maximize the benefits of pooling storage resources, the versatile ETERNUS DX400 and DX8000 series are key building blocks for dynamic IT infrastructures in which system resources are allocated according to demand.

The launch marks an important milestone in consolidating Fujitsu's global storage portfolio under the ETERNUS brand. From entry-level to high-end systems through to virtual tape appliances, the globally-unified ETERNUS brand stands for reliability, quality and performance.

• ETERNUS DX400 series: Highest reliability for mid-range. Designed for medium-sized data centers, the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX400 series addresses an organization's need for a robust yet energy-efficient solution that provides performance and capacity scalability, availability, data mobility and security.
• ETERNUS DX8000 series: Class-leading enterprise scalability. The enterprise-class Fujitsu ETERNUS DX8000 series meets the high-capacity and performance requirements of large organizations, making it the perfect platform for storage consolidation. Key technical benefits include advanced functionality along with data availability, security, and operational efficiency.

Technical Specifications

• ETERNUS DX400 series scale up to 428 TB, and ETERNUS DX8000 series offer the industry's largest capacity with more than 2.7 petabytes. The 8 Gb Fibre Channel host interface and fast quad-core processors significantly increase performance.
• ETERNUS DX systems optimize business innovation. Both the DX400 and DX8000 series offer added-value features such as Data Block Guard, which enhances RAID data protection by helping ensure data integrity both on data drives and in the system cache. Advanced data copying and mirroring capabilities protect against data loss during operation, while native 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protects critical data from unauthorized access throughout its lifecycle, including disposal, when drives are removed from the storage system.
• Power and cooling requirements are reduced with Eco-mode using Massive Array of Idle Disks (MAID), spin-down technology and support for low-power, high-performance enterprise Solid State Disks (SSDs).
