About the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX8900 S4
The ETERNUS DX8900 S4 is Fujitsu's flagship enterprise block and unified storage system, targeting large enterprise data centers requiring petabyte-scale capacity, maximum availability, and end-to-end data services. Built on a massively scalable quad-controller (2+2 redundant) architecture, it supports up to 10,752 drives (HDDs, SSDs, and NVMe) in a single system by scaling across multiple expansion enclosures. The controller configuration delivers up to 32 million IOPS and 128GB/s throughput for the most demanding mixed OLTP and analytics workloads.
The DX8900 S4 supports an automated storage tiering engine (Automated Storage Tiering, AST) that migrates hot data to NVMe flash tiers and cold data to high-density SAS NL-HDD tiers without administrator intervention or application downtime. It provides synchronous replication with RPO=0 using Fujitsu ETERNUS SF's Remote Equivalent Copy (REC) technology for metro-distance disaster recovery up to 100km (with async support for global replication). The system also features non-disruptive controller firmware upgrade and horizontal scale-out of controllers.
The DX8900 S4 is deployed in banking, insurance, telecommunications, and large government data centers where data availability SLAs require 99.9999% uptime. Its support for FC (32Gb), iSCSI, NFS, SMB, and object storage protocol gateways makes it a unified storage platform consolidating block, file, and object tiers on a single system. ETERNUS SF management integrates with VMware vCenter, Microsoft SCVMM, and major monitoring platforms via REST API and SNMP.
Ideal for
- Tier-1 banking core transaction processing (OLTP) storage
- Large Oracle RAC cluster with synchronous remote replication
- Telco NFV infrastructure storage with strict latency SLAs
- Enterprise data warehouse with automated hot/warm/cold tiering
- VMware VSAN alternative for large-scale vSphere private cloud
- Government secure data center primary storage with encryption at rest
