3 ATTO FibreCenter 3400 characteristics

ATTO FibreCenter 3400 is a 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel hub configured with eight (8) Fibre Channel ports and an Ethernet management port. The FibreCenter 3400 is designed to integrate industry leading performance and Storage Area Network (SAN) capabilities into mid-range applications by providing a high-speed, central connection point for Fibre Channel connections.

The FibreCenter 3400 Fibre Channel rack system design provides maximum dependable performance for high availability systems through a hot-swappable, dual power module.

The FibreCenter 3400 module is housed in one module bay of a dual module, 1U high, industry standard rack enclosure complete with mounting brackets. Using two modules in a rack provides a maximum port density of 16 SFP ports and redundant power and cooling in a full width 1U rack.

The unit may be configured as one 8-port hub (Zone 1) or two 4-port hubs (Zones 2 and 3). When configured as Zones 2 and 3, the FibreCenter allows each 4-port zone to run at different speeds (1Gb or 2Gb). Configuration is managed through a 10BaseT Ethernet port.
