Consistent expansion – constant increase

Scale seamlessly—grow continuously

Universal scale-out NAS solution: Infortrend EonStor CS series

Infortrend’s EonStor CS shines as a scale-out NAS platform, letting organizations handle ever-growing data volumes with equally scalable capacity—and rising performance to match.

The CS series’ elasticity offers an easy, cost-effective way for agile businesses to manage expanding datasets while eliminating performance bottlenecks. By integrating data from every node into a single cluster, EonStor CS boosts utilization and simplifies management. Superior speed and scalability make it ideal for data-intensive sectors and workloads such as media & entertainment, high-performance computing (HPC), video surveillance, file sharing, and backup.

EonStor CS gives enterprises a sophisticated tool for seamless expansion and data migration, keeping pace as the company grows—a purpose-built solution for storage and management.

High availability par excellence

Infortrend’s unique RAID technology shields data from drive failures first and foremost, reinforced by powerful protection mechanisms such as Replica and Erasure Coding. If a node goes bad, the built-in self-healing feature kicks in immediately, restoring data across all nodes. Optimal capacity utilization and cost savings are handled by Infortrend’s specialized Distributed Mode.

NAS series with robust RAID architecture

Bonded network interfaces not only aggregate bandwidth but also eliminate single-path failures. In addition, the EonStor CS line features redundant hardware components—including PSUs and fan modules.

All modules are fully hot-swappable, making maintenance straightforward. Finally, CS firmware can be upgraded without cluster downtime, ensuring uninterrupted service continuity.

The CS series grows with—and because of—its workload

As a scale-out NAS platform, the EonStor CS line can reach read/write speeds of up to 100 Gbit/s and more than 100 PB of capacity simply by adding additional nodes to the cluster. In other words, it’s ready to satisfy tomorrow’s data-growth demands as easily as today’s.

 

High performance on demand

Special algorithms use auto-balancing to distribute data evenly across every node in the system. When many users access data at the same time, the system divides the workload through parallel processing. This eliminates performance bottlenecks on individual nodes and markedly improves access efficiency.

Extra safeguards for vital data

To protect ultra-critical information, Infortrend’s EonStor CS line supports both SED (Self-Encrypting Drives) and WORM (Write Once, Read Many). SEDs shield sensitive data from hackers and malware by automatically performing full-disk encryption whenever a write operation occurs, using the drive’s embedded key; the data are transparently decrypted again on every read.

 

High-security WORM

WORM is especially valuable for organizations with stringent data-archiving requirements. With this cost-effective method, archived data cannot be deleted, altered, overwritten, or corrupted after it is written.

Easy administration, secure management

The EonStor CS family from Infortrend streamlines both the initial deployment of cluster systems and their day-to-day administration—at the hardware and software levels.

 

Effortless NAS management with the Infortrend CS Series

The EonOne for CS management software offers an intuitive interface that lets you control multiple systems from a single console, monitor performance and capacity, and carry out all related configurations.

On the hardware side, a cable-less, modular design ensures you can add nodes or expansion enclosures without interrupting system operations.

FAQ - Storage

Here you will find the most important questions about our storage solutions.

Why is a local (“on-premise”) storage system so important despite the cloud?

For highly critical or latency-sensitive workloads in particular, outsourcing to the cloud alone is often not enough. A local system provides the necessary speed and control: the data remains in your company, which enables fast, synchronous processing and a high standard of security. For example, you can run time-critical applications smoothly and at the same time benefit from the advantages of the cloud for backup or archiving.

Which storage systems are suitable for my company?

We offer solutions from small SMEs to large enterprise operations. Whether you need a compact RAID system for a few terabytes, a high-availability NAS for multiple locations or a JBOD to expand capacity with hundreds of drives, our experts can help you make the right choice and offer a wide range of form factors, protocols and equipment variants.

How does Starline ensure reliable data security?

Our storage systems are state of the art. The stored data is then protected in various ways: this can be RAID technologies, modern file systems such as ZFS, erasure coding, replication, snapshots and/or encryption options. Our industrial grade hardware is assembled in Kirchheim and tested in a burn-in test. This is how we guarantee a long service life for your storage systems.

Can JBODs be added to my existing storage setup?

Absolutely. Many of our systems have a modular design so that you can easily add more drives via JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) expansions. This allows you to flexibly adapt the capacity to growing data volumes at any time without having to purchase a completely new solution.

How does Starline provide support during and after installation?

We support you throughout the entire life cycle of your storage system - from the initial consultation to installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Our technicians are always available on weekdays; we also offer a 24x7x4 service on request. We also support you with customs and financing issues and take care of firmware updates and any special requests.
