Overview of the Top 3 innovations
Key Innovations
1. ETERNUS Storage Cluster
2. ETERNUS Fast Recovery
3. ETERNUS Automated Quality of Service
management
Key Business Values
1. Increase business continuity in case of
system failures
2. Reduce risks of data loss when using high
capacity disks
3. Automatic performance management by
business priority of data

3
Challenge: bigger systems, bigger disks, bigger risks
Hard disks with up to 6 TB
Several days rebuild time of a failed disk
within in a RAID of a productive system
The probability of critical RAID situations
and finally data loss is constantly growing
Petabyte-scale storage systems
Planned or unplanned downtime has large
scale negative impact on business

4
How ETERNUS innovations solve these challenges
ETERNUS Fast Recovery for failed disks
Rebuild write operations are parallelized
between several disks
Rebuild time is reduced from days to hours
Fast Rebuild Pool
ETERNUS Storage Cluster
A standby storage takes over the identity of a
failed system transparently
Enables business continuity without
introducing a storage virtualization layer

-
5
The Challenge: competition on storage performance
Need for prioritizing storage resources according to business
needs
Applications compete on storage resources
Lower priority tasks can impede the data
performance of high priority apps
A manual system tuning to allocate storage
performance by business prios is complex
Need for an easy and automated quality of
service management
Key for storage consolidation without
performance issues for biz critical apps

6
Enhanced Automated Quality of Service Management
The admin
defines priorities or
sets response times in milliseconds
And ETERNUS DX / SF does the rest
Technically the system adjusts internal
bandwidth to achieve the required response
time
New: should this not be sufficient to achieve
the required target response time, priority data
will be moved to faster disks or to SSD using
the automated storage tiering (AST) functions
Auto Quality of Service Management controls
the AST functionality
Copyright 2014 FUJITSU
Unique: storage is controlled by business priorities of data

Additional enhancements
Support of remote replication by ETERNUS DX100 S3
6 Gb SAS direct attach for ETERNUS DX100 / DX200
Cold data handling Enhancement of eco mode:
complete shut down of unused disks (disk spin AND disk
controller)
Enhanced unified functionalities
Quota management of NAS capacity for users
Users can recover previous versions of files
Multiple file systems
Field upgrade of ETERNUS DX system to bigger models without data
migration
DX100 S3 DX200 S3
DX500 S3 DX600 S3
Thin provisioning pool capacity doubled to 256 TB for Flexible
Tier pools (DX100/ DX200)

Business Continuity with Storage Cluster
Synchronous mirroring between active and standby system
Covers all kinds of array outages (failure, maintenance,
disaster)
Transparent to servers and applications
Triggered automatically and/ or manually
Non-stop operation

10
Storage Cluster functions - Auto Failover
Auto failover in case of array failure or RAID failure
Failover when the path between the Storage Cluster Controller
and the primary array and array-array path between both
storages fail at the same time.
Failover when a RAID failure occurs on the primary array (RAID
blocked by a disk failure).
Auto failover to address split-brain situation involving the
Storage Cluster contr. & ETERNUS DX S3 storage.

In case of failover the status of the CA port on the
primary system changes to Link Down, the CA port
on the secondary array changes to status Link Up
taking over volume information and WWN.
