Fujitsu Primergy Servers Certified DataCore Ready

DataCore Software Corporation announced that the latest generation of Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX, and CX servers, are certified as DataCore Ready SDS servers.

Also, the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX series of storage systems has achieved certification, providing an additional pathway to expand and meet storage needs. Together, these cost-effective solutions, powered by PRIMERGY servers and software from DataCore, deliver enterprise performance and scaling capabilities. Likewise, with DataCore’s new performance optimized software release and Fujitsu’s latest servers, the scale and performance has doubled over that of the previous generation.

The combined solution delivers performance and availability to meet growing business demands within larger-scale enterprises. In addition, PRIMERGY servers and DataCore’s Virtual SAN software make a suitable solution for the mid-market, especially for Microsoft virtualization projects and mixed Hyper-V and VMware environments running business-critical applications such as Microsoft Dynamics ERP, SQL databases, SharePoint, Exchange, SAP, Oracle and VDI.

DataCore’s SANsymphony-V and converged Virtual SAN software enable PRIMERGY servers to be transformed into software-defined storage servers that are able to virtualize, enhance and derive the productive value from a company’s present and future storage investments.

With DataCore software, Fujitsu’s servers and storage products are able to be pooled and integrated with existing storage from a variety of vendors, including EMC, Hitachi, HP, IBM and NetApp. Automated caching and tiering technologies also make it easy to leverage the power and resources of PRIMERGY servers to accelerate performance over a company’s infrastructure of storage assets. The combination supports features like metro-wide shared storage for clusters and business continuance, and automates the optimization, provisioning and migration of storage across the diversity of new or installed disk and flash-based technologies.

Enterprise performance and new random write acceleration optimizations
Theenhancements to DataCore’s SANsymphony-V and Virtual SAN software, available and shipping, further boost I/O performance and enterprise scaling, doubling the amount of nodes supported in Virtual SAN configurations supporting up to 64 PRIMERGY servers and providing the capability to deploy larger-scale 64PB configurations with the power to drive over 100 million IO/s.

The new release also features a Random Write Accelerator, an innovation designed to optimize random write processing (boosting speeds up to 30 times faster depending on workloads), especially for transaction-oriented applications like databases and ERP systems.
