Failover can be executed in both directions and between different ETERNUS DX S3 models (except ETERNUS DX60 S3)
Batch Job performance Data Storage Cost control with Automated Tiering management
is degraded Access performance and cost control can be achieved simultaneously
with multitiering using fast devices (SSD) and low cost/high volume
devices (nearline disks)
Data is automatically transferred to the optimal device based
Rarely used data volume
on the data access frequency
expansion reduces the
flexibility of capacity Application do not need to be aware of the data location
management which is managed entirely by the storage tiering feature
Performance
Operational data relocation policies
can be flexibly set to meet business requirements
Relocations are executed without
changes in server settings
Transparent to applications and servers Low
252 MB AST chunk sizes provide
leading granularity

AST – Performance data collection and analysis
Performance data collection can be configured to match the business task operation schedule
Days of the week and excluded days (holidays, etc.) are configured on a calendar
Performance data is evaluated according to either access frequency peak or access frequency average
