For immediate release!

Kirchheim/Teck, 2nd August 2013.

starline introduces the first 320TB RAIDdeluxe JBOD systems with 80 HDDs on 4U.

For the very first time, with RDL-JD80S6 and RDL-JS80S6, there are RAIDdeluxe JBOD systems with very high storage capacity on the market. With 80 x 4TB HDDs up to 320TB in one JBOD system could be achieved – everything in a chassis with only 4 height units.

Thereby 6Gbit/s SAS- and SATA HDDS / SSDs could be mixed, depending whether a fast database application or a safe availability of large volumes is demanded. On two SAS expansion ports per controller further JBODs could be attached with no extra license costs. The JBOD systems are independent of the operating system and applicable in different virtualization environments.

starline provides a wide range of SAS RAID controllers and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) for connection with JBODs. They offer a user friendly web user interface for administration and monitoring. Certainly all JBODs could be attached to Zealbox servers with SAS RAID controllers or HBAs to increase storage capacity up to
320 TB per JBOD.
