Fibre Channel Switch
Fibre Channel Switches for Data Centres
Glass fibre effectively meshed via Fibre Channel Switch
We provide you with the focal point of a large Fibre Channel installation: the FC switch. In return you receive the certainty of being covered.
Multilayer Fabric Switches provide a flexible, fast, cost-effective platform to expand from a handful of ports almost indefinitely. With current 32 Gbps fiber connectivity for today’s FC structures, some models can be easily scaled to future NVMe over Fabrics installations.
A Fibre Channel switch provides connections
In addition, integrated analysis procedures and telemetry functions generate the necessary transparency. This allows the administrator to monitor ongoing processes at any time. Of course, the redundant power supply units and fan modules in this product group can also be replaced during operation.
Your advantages with Starline:
- Flexible retrofitting of Fibre Channel ports
- Maximum transfer rate per port
- Future-proof due to modular design
- Enterprise-class features
The Cisco MDS 9132T expandable managed rackmount switch is designed for enterprise applications. Packed with benefits, the switching talent grows with its tasks and is exceedingly easy to tame: The MDS 9100 series multilayer fabric switches provide a flexible, fast, cost-effective, and highly available platform to scale from 8 ports to 32 ports of 32Gbps FC connectivity for today's SCSI and future NVMe over Fabrics deployments. Built-in analytics and telemetry capabilities provide the visibility needed to monitor ongoing operations via the Cisco Data Center Network Management (DCNM) platform through two Ethernet ports that can be used for this purpose. The MDS 9132T also includes network analysis tools, protocol decoding, and ISL and read diagnostics to help resolve problems faster and save on service costs. Detection of slow data drops is also provided by intelligent network services.

Our role
Rely on tested quality
Our employees are at your side: From the beginning you will receive detailed advice from personal contact persons. They are available as well as our technical support five days a week. We even offer a 24x7x4 service.
From service contracts and customs clearance to financing models – we offer everything from one source.
With Starline you are not on the proverbial hook once you have bought something. Starline is an independent medium-sized company that produces servers and storage systems in Germany. Our suppliers - from cables to screws to SSDs - have to undergo internal benchmarking by our technicians and are only included in the programme when their performance is beyond doubt. We also rely on cross-manufacturer standards and not on isolated solutions. Moreover, all systems assembled by us are put through their paces before they leave our premises. And last but not least: We look after you whenever you wish - for example, by providing free advice before the purchase and free technical support afterwards.
As an independent company, Starline offers servers and storage systems "Made in Germany". All devices are put through their paces before they leave our premises. In addition, we offer free advice before the purchase and free technical support afterwards - even after the warranty has expired.
The answer is clear: both! We sell and install both ready-made components - where we always install new drives, install any firmware updates and customise them - and hand-assembled systems that are completely tailored to your needs. For the latter, we use our own brands NASdeluxe, RAIDdeluxe and Zealbox, for example. All of them consist of high-quality industrial-grade components, right down to the screws.
We offer a wide range of free and bookable services. You can find a detailed overview here.
