Celerity FC-44ES Adapter

1 ATTO provides Fibre Channel solutions

The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and scalability. Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage networking needs such as switching, backup and data management. Specifically designed to enhance the functionality of third party fabric hardware and software, Celerity FC products are the industry-leading platform for storage connectivity.

The Celerity FC-44ES uses PCI Express Interconnect and 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel to provide 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/sec. per channel. The FC- 44ES supports high-definition video, rich content databases and other high bandwidth environments.

The FC-44ES uses PCI Express, a serial, high-speed connection that supports aggregate throughput up to

2.2GB/sec. (x8 PCIe). With software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products, the FC-44ES uses the same device drivers as other Celerity FC family products, simplifying installation and support.
