Fujitsu has released a high-density and “easy-to-use” direct attached storage subsystem which can directly attach to a server – the ETERNUS JX60.

Fujitsu said the ETERNUS JX60 can be used by both small businesses and major data centers working with clustered configurations.

The ETERNUS JX60 provides the capacity to support different disk sizes with 2TB, 3B ad 4TB options with basic data protection with built-in resilience and can be managed via Fujitsu Serverview software.

It has been designed to extend the storage capcity of Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY servers using 6Gbps SAS connections.

Fujitsu said with the volume of data continuing to expand, capacity requirements often exceed the internal storage capacity servers can offer.

The ETERNUS JX60 offers a maximum of high-capacity and low-cost 3.5in Nearline-SAS hard disk drive using minimum space to cope with continuous data growth.

It can provide up to four enclosures, which can be directly attached to a server, the subsystem can offer up to 960TB of storage.
