increased rapidly, the ETERNUS DX60/DX80 flexibly expand the volume capacity with no
interruption of the operation.
The ETERNUS DX60/DX80 is able to support FC-SAN, IP-SAN, and DAS environments
by utilizing Fibre Channel (maximum transfer speed: 8Gbps (for ETERNUS DX80)), iSCSI
(maximum transfer speed: 1Gbps), and SAS (maximum transfer speed: 3Gbps) host
interfaces.
The ETERNUS DX60/DX80 supports multiple Operating Systems such as UNIX, Linux,
Windows®, and VMware®, and can be connected as a storage system for PRIMEQUEST,
SPARC Enterprise, PRIMERGY servers as well as for UNIX/IA servers of other
companies. Also the RAID aggregation using SAN (Storage Area Network) is available.
Using large capacity / cost effective Nearline SAS disks allows low cost D2D (Disk to Disk)
backup and high-speed recovery in the case of unexpected failure.
Storing the less frequently accessed data such as archive data in the Nearline SAS disks
allows easy reading. Nearline SAS disks and SAS disks can be installed in the same drive
enclosure.
