System Features
Special features of the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 are shown below:
■
Space and Energy Savings
●
Compact design makes effective use of rack space
-
Three models are available; ETERNUS DX60, ETERNUS DX80, and ETERNUS DX90. All
models are compactly-designed to use rack space efficiently, coming in 2U size
(*1)
enclosures.
*1:
2U = Two 19-inch rack units = 88mm device height
-
Two types of controller enclosure and drive enclosures (optional) are available; those for
3.5" disks and those for 2.5" disks.
Up to twelve 3.5" disks can be installed in the 3.5" type enclosures, and up to twenty-four
2.5" disks can be installed in the 2.5" type enclosures. The appropriate drive configuration
should be decided based on the purpose, applications and onsite installation space avail-
able for the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90.
-
Up to 24 disks can be installed in the ETERNUS DX60 and up to 120 disks in the
ETERNUS DX80/DX90.
●
Energy savings by the latest technology
Power efficiency and energy savings are achieved with advanced technology.
●
Eco-mode to reduce environmental load
Using the Eco-mode function starts and stops the spindle rotation in the disk for each RAID
group during the specified hour. Stop the spindle rotation when there is no access to the disk
to reduce power consumption and decrease environmental load.
●
Visualization of power consumption and ambient temperature
Power consumption and ambient temperature for the entire ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90
can be checked using the (optional) "ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser" integrated management
software's Graphical User Interface (GUI). Both current status and historical records (for a
day, a week, or an year) can be displayed.
