Expand capacity with robust RAID technology

The latest RAIDdeluxe systems feature 12 Gb/s SAS backplanes built on an innovative chipset design and accept both SATA and SAS drives—HDDs or SSDs, even in mixed configurations. Small and mid-size businesses gain enterprise-class RAID security, performance, and scalability; SAS expanders let you scale via SAS JBODs to as many as 256 drives.

Up to 8 GB of cache can be safeguarded by a flash-based backup module (FBM), or by an optional lithium-ion battery backup module (BBM). Either way, any data not yet written to disk is preserved during a power failure.

Choice of 12, 24, or 64 drive bays in 2U or 4U enclosures
Flexible host-port options: 12 Gb/s SAS or 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel
All systems ship with redundant power supplies
Dual-controller configurations are available across the range

Many paths—plenty of options: effortless capacity expansion

Excellent usability streamlines administration when it’s time to grow.

RAIDdeluxe gives administrators several ways to configure and monitor expanded RAID capacity. Diagnostics can begin right at the rack: status LEDs on the front and back immediately flag any issues.

A flip-out LCD on the front panel provides key information; built-in buttons let you perform basic actions directly on the unit.

For deeper control, connect over the LAN to the system’s web interface. There you can create RAID sets, resize volumes, pull SMART data, and adjust any configuration as needed.

Expanding capacity with a post-production DAS solution

A full toolkit for professional-grade RAID scaling

Power users will appreciate the extra options RAIDdeluxe offers for capacity growth. The firmware includes an embedded terminal emulator on the RS-232 port, while the built-in RAID Manager—reachable via CLI, Telnet, API, or SMTP—provides an additional layer of control. SNMP monitoring is also available over the LAN interface.

Management tools ship with every system: an SNMP MIB package and a cross-platform CLI (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, Solaris). All platforms support scripted automation, letting you schedule tasks such as cron-based event logging or SMART data collection.

Finally, ArcSAP Quick Manager can scan multiple RAID units—both local and remote—so administrators can oversee the configuration and health of the integrated Areca RAID controller from a single console.

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.
