Appendix A ATTO FibreBridge family

The ATTO bridge family of products provides GbE-to-SCSI or Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges available as Compact PCI (CPCI) boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rackmount integration, or desktop units, depending on the model and your needs.

The ATTO iPBridge and ATTO FibreBridge family of products share common configuration options and functions to provide the most versatile connectivity options available. Each product has been engineered to address specific customer needs. New capabilities are integrated into products throughout the family as much as possible, requiring only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them into your SAN (Storage Area Network) or NAS (Network Attached Storage). Check the website, www.attotech.com, for the latest firmware updates.
