Fujitsu delivers new reliable entry-level storage system for SMEs, branch offices at an affordable price

Issued by Opportun(at)e for CoCre8
Munich, 14 Jan 2015

Fujitsu today provides end-customers and its channel partners with a powerful entry-level disk storage system that will prove to be a driving force in winning deals for its channel partners in 2015 and beyond.

The new Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX60 S3 cost-effectively scales to meet the ever-increasing data management needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Sold via Fujitsu's SELECT partners that provide dedicated customer support, the business-centric system is easy to install, configure, operate and maintain, removing the perennial headache of managing and storing increasing volumes of data at an affordable cost.

Over 85% of ETERNUS entry-level storage systems are sold via Fujitsu's extensive SELECT channel partner network. This new addition completes the latest generation of the comprehensive ETERNUS DX family of disk storage systems.

Among its highlights, the ETERNUS DX60 provides faster host interfaces, greater performance, a better price/performance ratio, twice the cache size, and enhanced snapshot and replication functions compared to its predecessor. It also offers improved support of virtualised server environments plus enterprise features such as thin provisioning, which are usually found in more expensive, higher-classified systems.

The ETERNUS SF Express storage management suite is also included in the purchase price. It can be upgraded to the full, richly-featured ETERNUS SF version, which uses a more predictable controller-based licensing model rather than the more conventional capacity-based model.

Pricing and availability

The Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX60 S3 joins the comprehensive family of ETERNUS DX disk storage systems and is now globally available via distribution partners and from Fujitsu.
