QStar Archive Appliances
To simplify the installation and management processes, QStar has developed a range of Archive Appliances
All the features of our software solutions are included in the QStar range of SntrySTR (pronounced sentry store) server appliances.
Applicances are preconfigured and ready for archive technology to be attached via SCSI, SAS, iSCSI, FC or USB. SntrySTR is available either as a 1U or 2U rackmount server, offering different capacities of disk cache, and running Ubuntu Linux operating system. With additional disk only expansion units, the SntrySTR solution can optionally expand to 96TB of raw disk capacity to complement removable media archive technology (optical, tape or RDX).
For those organizations with a smaller capacity archive, SntrySTR Xpress is a great choice. This appliance is a mini-tower configuration, and allows archive data to be stored on hard disk with additional copies written to Blu-ray media using the integrated Blu-ray drive. If, in the future, a Blu-ray library is required to reduce manual interventions or grow the archive, the Xpress can be reconfigured to support a library from one of the many supported by QStar.
QStar uses Dell hardware for our appliances, giving our customers the advantage of worldwide support and maintenance.
