Enterprise SAS Switches alternatives

Future-proof storage: alternatives to SAS switches

For years, SAS switches were a trusted way to connect storage resources in the data center. As modern technologies take hold, we’ve realigned our portfolio and will no longer offer SAS switches. Instead, we recommend high-performance alternatives such as Fibre Channel switches and Ethernet-based storage solutions, which deliver top-tier speed, scalability, and reliability.

Our Fibre Channel switches provide ultra-fast connectivity for Storage Area Networks (SANs). Ethernet-based solutions, on the other hand, offer flexible, future-ready architectures that integrate seamlessly with existing networks. Both technologies create a powerful, sustainable storage infrastructure—backed by Starline’s proven quality.
