Securing your data like it's our job. Because it is.

Security

  • WORM hardware
  • 4 redundancy levels
  • 3 hard disk vendors
  • Internal Digital Audit

Show »

Guard against data loss by banking on the safest solution of all.

Each Silent Cube storage unit comprises 12 hard disks from three different manufacturers. Even should four hard disks fail at the same time, no data will ever be lost. Data sealing against changes, deletions or overwriting is incorporated into the hardware and can therefore never be circumvented. Silent Cubes regularly checks the recorded data automatically (internal Digital Audit).


Modularity

  • Modular and scalable
  • 19 inch rack mountable
  • Replication included

Show »

Digital data volumes have exploded in recent years as new technologies and devices continue to generate more and more data.

Silent Cube storage systems grow right along with your needs and are scalable into the petabyte realm. For even more security, software is included for replication to a second location.

Cost/Benefit

  • Certified CAS
  • Low cost
  • Minimum integration effort
  • <2 Watts in standby

Overall costs merit closer attention when weighing the various solutions. Apart from the actual equipment investment, increasing operating and energy costs also factor into the long-term archiving options.

Silent Cubes now sets the standard. The initial outlay is significantly lower than other storage systems while the operating costs amount to just a fraction of conventional solutions. One storage unit with a net 8 terabyte capacity draws a mere 2 watts of energy in standby mode.


Service

  • Service agreement
  • 24/7 availability
  • On-site service
  • Optional monitoring

Long-term storage also means long-term assurance. FAST LTA supports each and every Silent Cubes installation within the scope of a maintenance contract. Should problems ever arise, we are right there to remedy them on the spot. And you’ll never lose any of your valuable data – without needing to make an additional, time-consuming backup copy first.

The patent pending FAST LTA WORM hard disk controller seals all data and protects it against alternation and deletion.
Due to a sophisticated redundancy coding technology, up to 4 out of 12 hard disks may fail simultaneously without harming data integrity
A storage unit features 12 low-power hard disks, 4 each from 3 different vendors. Together with the 4-fold redundancy, your data is effectively protected against epidemic disk failure.
As opposed to RAID systems, the unique Digital Audit regularly checks all written data on a bit-by-bit level, detecting hard disk failures and pending data loss at an early stage. Defective hard disks are completely shut down.
Each head unit can handle up to 128 storage units with 8 TB capacity each. Due to the virtual storage grid concept, expansion is possible at every time, letting the system grow with your needs.
With half rack width and 6 U height, the storage unit can easily be mounted into a 19 inch rack. The compact vertical housing minimizes the need for active external cooling.
Due to the integrated replication capabilities, the risk for data loss can be further reduced by mirroring a setup to a second location.
The CAS (Content Addressed Storage) principle guarantees that your data can be addressed properly and can never be altered.
Silent Cubes provide lowest investment, energy and administration cost of all long-term storage systems.
Attaching Silent Cubes to a given infrastructure and archiving strategy is effortlessly done without any special connector software in most cases, saving time and money.
As idle storage units are powered down completely, the energy consumption is lower than with any other storage system.
Every installation comes with a service agreement.
If you wish so, we are there for you 24/7.
Defective components are exchanged by qualified personell at location, usually keeping all data intact without the need for an additional backup.
Through the browser-based user interface and optionally vial email reporting, you're always certain that your system is in good health.
