Linux software for professionals

At Starline, we always use exactly the Linux version that you want for your server. For distributed SDS systems, Linux is used in combination with the unified storage solution Ceph – either in the extremely economical ARM servers from Ambedded or the flexible open source variant PetaSAN (based on Supermicro). In the NAS sector, a special storage operating system from Open-E is used, which has emerged from the Linux family: Jovian DSS

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.
