● Virtualization Integration
Various functions that are provided by Oracle VM, VMware, and Microsoft are supported to configure and operate
virtualized environments.
Linkage with software allows the backup of virtual environments (VMware/Hyper-V) without stopping the virtual
machines. A more effective use of resources and the integrated management of virtualized environments can be
achieved by offloading the server load to the
ETERNUS DX.
VMware vSphere's Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) that manage volumes for each virtual machine are also supported.
Finely tuned backup operations and resource management can be achieved according to the operational re-
quirements for each virtual machine.

Operability
By using a virtual environment, the ETERNUS DX is able to utilize its resources more efficiently. In addition, vari-
ous connectivity options are provided and integrated storage management is available.
● Unified Storage
The ETERNUS DX provides SAN and NAS functions and enables a SAN/NAS storage integrated environment.
In a SAN environment, block data transfer is performed via FC, iSCSI, and FCoE.
In a NAS environment, the ETERNUS DX can be used as a file server to transfer file data by using the NFS protocol
and the CIFS protocol via Ethernet.
In addition, by installing ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser (storage management software), integrated monitoring of
SAN and NAS environments is available.
● Automated Storage Tiering
The ETERNUS DX supports Automated Storage Tiering. This function detects data access frequency and redistrib-
utes data between drives with various drive types according to the policy that is set. The most suitable cost effec-
tive performance can be realized by moving frequently accessed data to high performance SSDs and less fre-
quently accessed data to cost effective Nearline SAS disks in collaboration with ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser. Serv-
er settings do not need to be changed after redistribution.
● Easy Operation Management
Operation management can be easily performed with ETERNUS Web GUI by using a Web browser or with ETER-
NUS CLI by using commands and command scripts.
● Stabilization of Processing Performance
When loads from one application are high in a storage integrated environment and sufficient resources to proc-
ess other operations cannot be secured, performance may be reduced remarkably.
The Quality of Service (QoS) function can be used to stabilize performance by setting the load upper limit for
each application to secure the processing performance of the server that needs to be processed preferentially so
that workload fluctuations do not affect other applications.
● Extreme Cache
Extreme Cache (SSD cache built in a controller) significantly increases the read cache capacity and ensures low
latency for access to shared data between servers.
