Serial connection – parallel access
SAS Storage, Serial Attached SCSI
SAS garnish on the enterprise storage buffet
You want to upgrade your peripherals via Serial Attached SCSI? We provide you with the right SAS interior for all storage lifetimes.
In its now serial variant of SCSI, SAS is one of the most important interfaces in the storage sector. In the third version, the transmission rate is already at 12 Gbps and further standards have already been adopted.
As a point-to-point connection, SAS offers a stable connection that can be implemented using many different connector shapes. Nevertheless, SAS enables the networking of many components such as hard drives, SSDs, tape drives or entire storage systems. To this end, the standard also stipulates that each SAS device is assigned its own globally unique address.
SAS enterprise storage with choice
SAS also allows operation via an expander. This enables up to 128 end devices to be cascaded and bundled on a single SAS cable. The user can achieve even greater capacities by using a fanout expander connected in between. Line bundling and dual porting are two further features that facilitate the handling of SAS and improve system performance.
We have everything the administrator needs for his SAS architecture: drives, controllers, switches and, of course, all the cables.
Your advantages with Starline:
- Low cost connectors and thin cables
- Point-to-point connections and expander operation
- Line bundling and dual porting
- Compatible SATA
