SAS Switches for economical networking
Ports full – with our Enterprise SAS Switches
An administrable switch offers you cost-effective and fast networking within the SAS world.
SAS switches from us are now particularly suitable for the inexpensive networking of several servers with one or more independent RAID systems, tape libraries or other data storage systems. After all, as a point-to-point connection, SAS offers you a stable and established option. It can also be used in a variety of ways in your network. By the way, we supply the complete infrastructure so that you can quickly link your SAS components. Hard disks, SSDs, tape drives or storage systems are thus connected in an instant.
Enterprise SAS Switches open up new options
Our models can be administered very easily via integrated LAN ports and graphical user interfaces. In addition to performance, this is one of the conditions for inclusion in the Starline portfolio. They can also be used to create separate zones, for example. Consequently, this zoning allows selected storage resources to be specifically bound to individual hosts.
Your advantages with Starline:
- Very good price-performance ratio
- Quickly integrated into existing networks
- Enables Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
- Active and passive cabling (electrical and optical)
Thanks to its compact design, the Astek switch occupies only one height unit in the rack.
Astek's 1U, 2x 12-port (96 lane) 12 Gbps switch A59612-SW is configured with 24x 4 wide ports, each capable of delivering 48 Gbps through the front panel management and SAS ports. The switch extends the capabilities of SAS in direct-attached storage (DAS) environments by enabling multiple servers to connect to one or more independent storage systems. The A59612-SW switch provides a cost-effective and easy-to-use storage networking option for rackmount server and storage deployments in cloud computing environments, mega data centers, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It supports DataBolt or End Device Frame Buffering (EDFB), which enables bandwidth optimization with existing 6 Gbps SAS and SATA media.

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.
