ETERNUS2000 Single Controller SAN by Fuijitsu

Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation announced the ETERNUS2000 Single Controller SAN, offering low-cost entry to a storage solution that can be reconfigured for high-availability when the need arises. The ETERNUS2000 Single Controller SAN offers the same scalability and basic features and functionality as the dual-controller ETERNUS2000 SAN.

The ETERNUS2000 Single Controller lets managers save money while still future-proofing purchases for their growing data centers. It delivers enterprise-class functionality and power efficiency for remote offices and cost-sensitive enterprise applications, while offering the scalability — up to 72 TB — and the eventual high availability that growing organizations need. The quiet, compact 2U storage system offers a three-tiered storage pool including MAID, virtual LUNs for flexible capacity expansion with business continuity, and snapshots and mirroring.

"Our small- and medium-sized enterprise customers have made it clear that future-proofing their IT purchases is critical given today’s tight budgets," said Dave Egan, senior vice president, storage at Fujitsu. "While many organizations today can’t justify the additional cost of a high-availability storage solution, preparing the infrastructure for this capability ensures significantly higher ROI for the ETERNUS2000 SAN."

The ETERNUS2000 Single Controller will be available at the end of August 2008 with price starting below $8,000.
