Fsas Technologies, a Fujitsu subsidiary, announces the AI-ready generation of ETERNUS CS8000, its versatile data protection appliance. The new models are ideal for use as data lakes for AI Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) engines.

Support for data lakes and new cloud object replication capabilities means ETERNUS CS8000 rewrites the rules for data lakes, handling up to 350PB of data and delivering data throughput of up to 150TB per hour. It is a cost-effective storage powerhouse for intensive data-heavy applications. The new generation reinforces ETERNUS CS8000’s long-established leadership in cost-effective data protection across multiple platforms and protocols.

Data availability to sustain business operations is assured, and the ETERNUS CS8000 flexibly adapts to a wide range of protection needs – providing tailored protection while optimizing costs per application without compromising security.

The ETERNUS CS8000 architecture optimizes collected data for AI analytics and efficiently enriches backups. It leverages virtualized storage media, including NVMe, flash, disk, and tape. It also provides comprehensive protection against ransomware attacks through immutability features. Resilience is further enhanced by self-healing mechanisms.

Performance of the new-gen entry-level model, priced at EUR 70,000, has more than quadrupled. Enterprises can cut storage TCO by up to 60% through deploying the ETERNUS CS8000 with intelligent automation for both data acceleration and data protection.

The AI-generation ETERNUS CS8000 is available through partners or directly from Fsas Technologies in Europe. More info at https://eu.fsastech.com/eu/eternus-cs8000.
