ETERNUS DX400 S2 series with Intel® Xeon® processors is purpose built for data centers and virtualized environments. ETERNUS DX410 S2 scales flexibly from 2 to 480 disk drives, ETERNUS DX440 S2 scales to 960 disk drives. Different 2.5 inch, 3.5 inch, SAS, Nearline SAS, SSD, drive types are supported even in mixed configurations to enable efficient tiered storage environments. The challenges of data exposure protection are addressed by Self- Encrypting Drives (SED). Non-disruptive capacity upgrades are supported just by adding disks or complete enclosures.
ETERNUS DX400 S2 series provides a rich set of connectivity and interoperability choices. Customers can choose from FC, FCoE or iSCSI host interfaces which can be flexibly changed during the lifecycle. The new FCoE 10Gbit/s interface enables future-proof infrastructure and network convergence to ever larger storage structures. For simultaneous connection to different network types, all interfaces can operate in mixed configuration. Remote copy to a second storage device (ETERNUS DX90 S2 / DX400 S2 series / DX8000) protects valuable data assets against site outages.
Backed by the feature rich and easy to handle ETERNUS SF storage management software suite ETERNUS DX400 S2 series is perfectly architected for the needs of midrange and larger enterprises.
