In May of 2011, Fujitsu announced the introduction and availability of the ETERNUS DX80 S2 and DX90 S2 systems. These rack mounted ETERNUS models are the entry-level models of the ETERNUS family of disk storage systems.

The ETERNUS DX80 S2 and DX90 S2 are the entry-level series of the Fujitsu ETERNUS family of disk storage systems designed for SMB and distributed environments requiring high reliability, availability and serviceability features. The entire entry level ETERNUS DX systems utilize a 2U enclosure for the base unit and support for additional expansion enclosures. The system enclosure houses one or two controllers, and includes slots for either twenty-four 2.5 in disk, or twelve - 3.5 inch disk drives. Expansion units support either 2.5” or 3.5” disks.

The ETERNUS DX80 S2 and DX90 S2 support connectivity via SAS, iSCSI, FCoE or FC. Heterogeneous server attachment is supported, with specific operating systems support.
