Fujitsu PRIMERGY SX960 S1 Storage Blade Disk
Simple and low-priced direct-attached and shared-storage 
solution for PRIMERGY BX Blade Servers
PRIMERGY SX storage blades are installed together 
with PRIMERGY server blades in the PRIMERGY BX 
chassis. The introduction of storage blades is a 
simple and low-priced way to consolidate servers. 
Above all, small and medium-sized companies 
usually have rack and tower servers which offer a 
high degree of capcity regarding local hard disks. 
The use of storage blades equipped with tape 
drives is a simple and quick method to backup 
system data locally. Having local access to large 
amounts of data is often necessary, for example, 
in the world of computer-aided engineering 
(CAE), where smaller local workgroups have to 
access and create very large models. Examples for 
using storage blades are operation within limited 
environments as a file server or for Microsoft® 
SharePoint portals.
PRIMERGY SX960 S1
The Fujitsu PRIMERGY SX960 Storage Blade 
offers direct-attached and shared-storage for the 
PRIMERGY BX Blade Server with support of up to 
10 hot-plug SAS or SATA hard disks. The storage 
blade can be inserted, like a server blade, in 
the front of the blade server housing. It can be 
hot-plugged and used with various types of server 
blades. The BX Blade Server midplane offers a PCI 
Express connection to the adjacent server blades, 
enabling top-quality memory access without using 
additional cables. The PRIMERGY SX960 Storage 
Blade has an onboard MegaRAID controller with 
512 MB Battery Backed Write Cache, for top 
performance and data security.
Use NetApp Data ONTAP-vTM  software to convert 
the PRIMERGY SX960 Storage Blade into a SAN 
within the PRIMERGY BX housing. The so-called 
PRIMERGY VSX960 is a flexible solution which 
provides a shared-storage drive for all other server 
blades in the PRIMERGY BX400. This virtual storage 
solution consists of a storage control blade with 
an installed Hypervisor plus the Data ONTAP-vTM  
software from NetApp and a PRIMERGY SX960 
Storage Blade which provides the shared storage 
capacity. The PRIMERGY VSX960 is completely 
integrated in the ServerView Appliance and 
supports up to 10 hard disks in a RAID array. 
The ServerView Installation Manager ensures a 
simple installation option directly on the customer 
premises. The VSX storage solution supports 
iSCSI, CIFS and NFS protocols and supports Data 
ONTAP-vTM functions, such as Snapshot, FlexVol, 
SnapRestore and FilerView.
