1 ATTO provides Fibre Channel solutions

The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and scalability. Celerity FC storage 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

Celerity FC-42ES Adapter

The Celerity FC-42ES is a dual-channel storage adapter, providing port density for Enterprise server and workstation applications. The FC- 42ES leverages two next-generation storage technologies: PCI Express interconnect and 4- Gigabit Fibre Channel. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/second per channel, the FC-42ES supports the most demanding application requirements, including high-definition video, rich content databases and other high-bandwidth environments.

Additionally the FC-42ES takes advantage of the latest in host interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial, high-speed connection that supports aggregate throughput up to 2 GB/second (x8 PCIe). The FC-42ES is software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products using the same device drivers as the other Celerity FC family products, simplifying user installation and support.

The Celerity FC-42ES is backward compatible with existing 2-Gb and 1-Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure, protecting existing technology investments.
