Starline is a German RAID pioneer and offers a wide range of storage solutions. The NASdeluxe product family, which is also available with TrueNAS, becomes an all-in-one solution with Archiware P5. Together with the TrueNAS-compatible Archiware Plugin, the enterprise NAS system thus offers the functions of both a backup and an archive server. Users can select LTO drives, entire tape libraries, external storage and/or cloud as storage targets. Individual configurations offer maximum capacities and connection options according to customer requirements.
Because of the advanced file system ZFS – with integrated snapshots function – TrueNAS systems already meet high security standards out of the box. Moreover, they can be extended modularly with additional plugins. Since Archiware P5 is also available for FreeBSD from version 6, it can also be installed on TrueNAS systems.
Solid Supermicro servers in industrial quality provide the hardware platform in the rackmount area. They are always assembled according to the customer’s individual requirements on site in Kirchheim/Teck.
All-in-one solutions that combine storage with a built-in single LTO drive are particularly interesting and cost-effective. They remove the need for a separate server and the operating costs and data lines that come with it. Presently, this solution is unique on the German-speaking market. Together with the P5 Desktop LTO Edition bundle, which includes P5 Backup and P5 Archive, it is possible to backup current production to LTO tape as well as build up a long-term archive.
Completed projects, company and financial data are thus safely stored for years and at extremely low cost. Currently, LTO tape offers an unparalleled price point of approx. 10 EUR per TB. This means that increasing amounts of data can be stored at extremely low cost. Its 30-year readability makes it the most cost-effective long-term storage medium.
P5 Archive DLM enables intelligent, policy driven data management throughout the archive lifecycle. With automated data lifecycle management, volume verification, project based storage monitoring, and flexible retention rules, it ensures that archived data remains organized, compliant, and easy to manage over time.
Archiware P5 is available in a special P5 Desktop LTO Edition for use with up to two LTO drives. Automatic Backups and long-term Archive on LTO, store production data and protect for the long-term. Now both are available in this special license bundle.
Profit from proven longevity and affordability of LTO media. Extremely easy archiving and backup with P5.
LTO tape was created to combine the strong features of some predecessor tape technologies, avoid the weaknesses and create a standard with multiple vendors.
New LTO generations are introduced regularly with higher capacity and transfer rates, along with new features to further protect your data and content. LTO specifications for backward compatibility up to generation seven of the technology is to write back one generation and read back two generations. The LTO Program regularly publishes and updates an LTO roadmap with information on new generations.
