1.0 ATTO FibreBridge provides storage options

The ATTO FibreBridge™ family of products provides Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges as embeddable boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rack mount integration, or desktop units.

Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology designed to transfer large amounts of data between a variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is a key technology for applications that require shared, high bandwidth access to storage.

Fibre Channel provides a logical point-to-point serial channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a source device and a buffer at a destination device. It moves buffer contents from one port to another, without regard to the format or meaning of the data, so different upper level

protocols are able to run over Fibre Channel hardware.

All ATTO FibreBridge models can be used in a SAN (Storage Area Network) to connect a variety of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices. A SAN is a shared storage architecture connecting computers and storage devices for online data access. Each connected system can directly access any attached storage device.

The ATTO FibreBridge provides the interface between SCSI and Fibre Channel resources in SANs. Possible configurations depend upon your current hardware.
