The state-of-the-art storage solution Silent Brick Pro was developed specifically for companies that want to store data efficiently, quickly and particularly securely. For example, as an air gap backup, where the data is physically separated from the network.
Storing and securing data is more important than ever for companies, organizations, government agencies and institutions of all kinds. Data loss or security breaches can have serious consequences, especially in times of cyberattacks and omnipresent ransomware threats.

Read the best news from B2B CYBER SECURITY once a monthAt its core, it is a modular storage system that was developed for both performance backup & recovery and fast, active VTL archives. This makes it particularly well suited to comprehensively protect critical data.
The Silent Brick Pro system consists of several storage components, the so-called Silent Bricks Pro, which can be used either as stationary units or mobile. The Silent Brick Pro Controller is the central management element that controls the individual Silent Bricks Pro and ensures seamless management of the storage units.
What makes the Silent Brick Pro system exceptional
The technical equipment of the Silent Brick Pro is designed for performance, capacity and security. By integrating PCIe and NVMe technology, the system achieves extremely fast transfer rates of up to 6 GB/s. This high speed is a decisive advantage, especially for backup and recovery processes. The system also offers a storage capacity of up to 96 TB per Silent Brick or up to 768 TB on 2 height units. And thanks to modular expandability with the Silent Brick Max, a total capacity of up to 6 petabytes is achievable.
Main features of the Silent Brick Pro System
- Storage capacity: 12 NVMe modules in M.2 format with up to 96 TB (gross) per brick, an unmatched 768 TB on two height units and expandable with the Silent Brick Max to up to 6 petabytes total capacity.
- Fast data transfer: Data transfer rates of up to 6 GB/s thanks to PCIe Gen4 architecture and NVMe technology.
- Highest security: Air Gap, Object Locking Continuous Snapshots, Erasure Coding, RAID-Z, Batch Mix, Digital Audit…
- Modularity: The system can be flexibly expanded and adapted.
Five areas of application of the Silent Brick Pro system
The Silent Brick Pro offers numerous advantages that make it an ideal solution for companies that need to store their data securely and efficiently.
1. Pro Performance
The ability to write data at speeds of up to 5 GB/s makes the Silent Brick Pro one of the most powerful storage solutions on the market. This speed is especially important when restoring large amounts of data or performing regular backups, as these processes can otherwise be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Thanks to modern technology, the Silent Brick Pro is able to speed up these processes and minimize downtime.
2. Pro Security
At a time when cyber attacks and threats such as ransomware are on the rise, the security of company data is of the utmost importance. In addition to protection mechanisms such as erasure coding, RAID-Z, batch mix and digital audit, the Silent Brick Pro also offers the option of a real (automatic) air gap backup, where the data can be physically separated from the network. Software functionalities for immutability such as object locking or continuous snapshots are also integrated. This protects the data not only from loss due to hardware failures, but also from cyber attacks.
3. Per capacity
One of the outstanding features of the Silent Brick Pro system is its unparalleled storage density and scalability. With 12 NVMe modules in M.2 format, each Silent Brick Pro offers an impressive capacity of up to 96 TB (gross). The Controller Pro with 8 slots packs an unmatched storage capacity of 768 TB into just two height units.
Companies can flexibly expand the system by increasing it to a total capacity of up to 6 petabytes with the Silent Brick Max. This exceptional scalability makes the system future-proof and ideal for organizations with rapid data growth. It adapts seamlessly to increasing requirements without affecting ongoing operations.
4. GDPR compliance and data sovereignty
Another important advantage of the Silent Brick Pro is its full GDPR compliance. This is a crucial factor, especially for companies in the European Union, as the strict requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation must be complied with. The on-premise solution ensures that the data remains within the company's own infrastructure and is not moved to the cloud, which preserves data sovereignty and minimizes the risk of data breaches.
5. Versatile uses
The Silent Brick Pro system is perfect for a wide range of industries, including healthcare, public administration, finance, and research and development companies. The system is particularly invaluable in areas where fast backups and restoration of large amounts of data are important. Companies can rest assured that their data is stored securely and can be restored quickly if necessary.
The Silent Brick Pro system is a surprisingly cost-effective solution, especially for large amounts of data and long-term use. As an on-premise solution, the system also guarantees unrestricted data sovereignty, constant availability and the fastest access to all data, regardless of external factors. In the worst case, this can make the difference between survival or decline.
