Fujitsu Announces World's Largest Capacity Storage

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the putting-it-on-the-table-to-measure dept.

Adam Eliason writes to tell us that Fujitsu has announced the world's largest capacity storage array. From the article: "the ETERNUS 8000 and ETERNUS 4000 storage arrays. Weighing in at 1.36 petabytes, or 1.36 million gigabytes, the ETERNUS file storage arrays push the envelope for enterprise data storage systems. Fujitsu uses 2,760 nearline fibre-channel 500GB disk drives in its flagship ETERNUS server (model 2100) and can be configured with up to 256GB of cache."

    This is boring, set up an array of 14 petaboxes and you have the same thing. http://www.archive.org/web/petabox.php Nothing new here, except maybe using 500gig drives to do so. WOW what an idea!

      I'm tired of hearing about super-large full-sized drives and RAID arrays. Where's my 250GB 2.5" notebook drive?
