Appendix A ATTO iPBridge, FibreBridge family

The ATTO bridge family of products provides iSCSI-to-SCSI, iSCSI to Fibre Channel 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).
