Software Defined Storage

Efficiently united drives

With an SDS solution you can combine all available storage resources in your network into a storage pool.

Software Defined Storage (SDS) is the defined provision and management of data storage independent of the underlying hardware. This type of storage virtualization thus separates the storing hardware from the software that manages it. This enables functions such as deduplication, replication, thin provisioning, snapshots and backup. Software-defined storage can be implemented via an appliance through a Storage Area Network (SAN), as Network Attached Storage (NAS) or with object-based storage.

Software Defined Storage on demand

Several variants of SDS systems are available from Starline. In the field of hyper-converged infrastructure software, these include “Hyper-converged Virtual SAN” from DataCore, “Storage Spaces Direct” from Microsoft, “SvSAN” from StorMagic or “vSAN” from VMware.

Among the Unified Block, File and Object systems we rely on Ceph in the Storage Appliance MARS400 from Ambedded. PetaSAN has established itself at Starline as the new representative among the scale-out block solutions. In the NAS sector, TrueNAS with its block and file capabilities is the first SDS choice.

Your advantages with Starline:

Better utilization of the hardware
Higher performance of the entire system
Cost-efficient installation
Easy handling

FAQ about the Starline brand

What makes Starline better than an A-brand?

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.

Why should I purchase from Starline?

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.

What is Starline? Distributor or manufacturer?

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.

What services does Starline offer?

We offer a wide range of free and bookable services. You can find a detailed overview here.
