ATTO Technology FC-21PS, FC-42XS, FC-41XS, FC-44ES, FC-42ES, FC-41ES Celerity FC-42EN Adapter

The Celerity FC-42EN is a dual-channel host adapter, providing port density for Enterprise server and workstation applications. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/sec.full-duplex per channel, the FC-42EN supports the most demanding application requirements.

The FC-42EN takes advantage of the latest in host interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial, high- speed connection that supports aggregate throughout up to 2 GB/sec. The FC-42EN is software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products using the same device drivers as other Celerity FC family products, simplifying user installation and support. It is backward compatible with existing 2-Gb and 1-Gb FC infrastructures, protecting existing technology investments.
