The Celerity FC-44ES leverages two next- generation storage technologies: PCI Express Interconnect and 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel.

With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/sec. per channel, the FC-44ES supports the most demanding application requirements, including high-definition video, rich content databases and other high bandwidth environments.

The FC-44ES takes advantage of the latest in host interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial, high-speed connection that supports aggregate throughput up to 2.2 GB/sec. (x8PCIe). With software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products, the FC-44ES uses the same device drivers as the other Celerity FC family products, simplifying installation and support.
