STEC ZeusIOPS(R) SSDs Integrated in Entire Line of Fujitsu's Latest ETERNUS DX Enterprise Storage Systems
December 19 2011 - 9:25AM
STEC, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEC), The SSD Company™, a leading global
provider of solid-state drive (SSD) technologies and products,
today announced that its flagship enterprise-class ZeusIOPS® SSDs
are now qualified across Fujitsu's ETERNUS DX storage system
portfolio including the next-generation ETERNUS DX8700 S2
Enterprise Storage System. The integration of STEC's ZeusIOPS SSDs
into Fujitsu's next-generation ETERNUS DX8700 S2 storage system
supports multiple open system environments and virtualized
infrastructures, while delivering the high-end storage reliability,
performance, flexibility and cost-efficiency required for
mission-critical data center applications.
Fujitsu and STEC previously collaborated on the successful
qualification of STEC's ZeusIOPS SSDs into Fujitsu's earlier
generation of ETERNUS DX storage systems. Now, the full range of
Fujitsu's storage customers covering economy, scalable entry-level,
midrange and large scale data center system segments, will
experience the benefits that ZeusIOPS SSDs provide, and with the
unique and modular architecture of Fujitsu's new ETERNUS DX8700 S2
storage system, will scale to customer's growth.
"Fujitsu has been a valuable partner to STEC over the years and
we are pleased that our flagship ZeusIOPS SSDs are now qualified
across the entire Fujitsu ETERNUS DX Series platform," said Manouch
Moshayedi, STEC's Chairman and CEO. "We are excited to be
contributing to the enhancement of Fujitsu's next-generation
storage systems, and with their innovative architecture, will help
us reach many new end-users. These latest qualifications with
Fujitsu are emblematic of how we continue to be the SSD vendor of
choice for many of the world's leading storage OEMs."
The ZeusIOPS SSD available on Fujitsu's ETERNUS DX Series
platform supports a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, 2.5-inch
form factors, and offers a comprehensive array of options,
including a broad range of capacities and outstanding sustainable
input/output operations per second (IOPS) that helps relieve system
bottlenecks commonly associated with hard disk drive (HDD) rotating
media. Fundamental to the ZeusIOPS SSD family is the proprietary
STEC SSD controller architecture that enables STEC to provide
enterprise-optimized storage devices with an exceptional
combination of performance and energy efficiency.
"Our new ETERNUS DX8700 S2 rewrites the rules by making the leap
from a monolithic to modular architecture, and in combination with
STEC's ZeusIOPS SSDs, provides mission-critical levels of
reliability and performance demanded by the enterprise, without
unnecessary expenses or additional upfront investments," said
Yasuhito Arikawa, General Manager of Storage Systems Division,
Storage Systems Unit at Fujitsu. "By offering STEC's
industry-leading ZeusIOPS SSDs across the entire ETERNUS DX Series,
IT professionals working with SAN, DAS or NAS configurations are
afforded the benefits of superior performance, reliability and
endurance, while reducing power consumption in their implementation
of SSDs."
Fujitsu's latest generation ETERNUS DX8700 S2 Enterprise Storage
System introduces a new architecture that can be flexibly expanded
to meet ever-changing business needs, and with ZeusIOPS SSDs,
supports high-end storage applications, multiple open systems
environments and virtualized infrastructures. It enables customers
to minimize initial costs by starting with a system as small as two
controller modules and four drive enclosures, and then scale as
required. The dual controller configuration can be scaled to eight
controllers and can support up to 3,072 SAS-based, 2.5-inch
ZeusIOPS SSDs. Also featured within the ETERNUS DX8700 S2 is
Fujitsu's new Flexible Data Management function that enables data
to be automatically tiered across different drive types and
capacities to ensure an optimum service level in dynamic and
fast-changing environments.
