High performance appliance

adds instant RAID protection and ensures high storage availability

The FastStream SC 5500 Storage Controller is a scalable RAID controller that delivers high performance access to data and data protection for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures including 4K and 2K digital film production, high- definition video post, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, medical imaging, email compliance, data warehousing, data mining and transaction based environments.

ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers provide best of class performance and instant RAID parity protection to any SAS or SATA storage device; FastStream allows you to mix SAS and SATA storage to integrate into a tiered storage solution.

Designed as a 1U external appliance which integrates with SAS or SATA storage to provide instant RAID protection over several JBOD arrays, the FastStream SC 5500 provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing additional RAID arrays. Whenever storage exceeds existing capacity expanding existing RAID groups or adding new RAID groups is as simple as connecting another off-the-shelf JBOD drive enclosure.

By utilizing the “one-click” set-up wizard provided by the ExpressNAV™ Storage Manager, tailoring storage to your environment has never been easier. Advanced intelligence features such as Phone Home email alerts and real-time performance metrics make it simple to manage and maintain your storage.
