Thunderbolt Desklink Devices: ATTO ThunderLink and Thunderstream Desklink Devices enable todays small form factor platforms to connect to high performance storage and networks, including SAS/SATA, Fibre Channel or Ethernet infrastructures. ThunderLink Desklink Devices provide Thunderbolt to Fibre Channel, SAS or 10GbE connectivity, giving all-in-one systems and mobile computing platforms access to 16Gb or 8Gb Fibre Channel SANs, storage devices, Ethernet networks and iSCSI storage at unprecedented speeds. ATTO ThunderStream Desklink Devices add RAID technology, creating a robust and embeddable RAID controller for professional and prosumer storage applications by protecting critical data in the event of a drive failure. In broadcast and media, lost content means missed deadlines and surpassed budget limits. With transfer speeds of 20Gb/s, ATTOs Thunderbolt 2 ThunderLink Desklink Devices are ideal for the creative professional who needs access to external storage and networks for I/O demanding applications, including 2K, 4K, 3D and ultra-high-definition video post-production workflows. ATTOs exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS ) provides the fastest, most consistent time-to-data, delivering best-in-industry aggregate bandwidth and predictable data transfers for high performance applications for mobile platform users.
Celerity Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters: ATTOs Celerity Fibre Channel 16Gb Gen 5 powered HBAs address the needs of workflows including capture, edit, content management and distribution with extremely fast, efficient and reliable data transfers. The industrys first quad channel card delivers the highest bandwidth and lowest latency available in the market, as well as connectivity with twice the maximum throughput of previous solutions. Through MultiPath Director , an ATTO proprietary feature rich driver that when paired with enterprise class storage systems, provides a completely redundant, high performance storage solution for workstation applications in digital video, audio and content-creation environments. MultiPath Director is the only storage connectivity solution that allows you to connect directly to enterprise-class storage and manage multiple paths between Linux , Mac and Windows workstations and servers perform real time editing and while keep digital media content available in real time for multiple users. In addition, Celerity HBAs include ADS technology, for the smoothest data streaming and best-in-industry data transfers, eliminating dropped frames and the need for re-rendering. When combined with ATTOs FibreConnect 1600 series, which includes 16Gb Fibre Channel switches, it creates a complete SAN connectivity solution with high bandwidth, low latency and the lowest power consumption in the industry. Additionally, this solution is engineered to deliver smooth and reliable data transfer over a SAN for mission critical applications, such as video streaming and virtualized environments.
FastFrame Network Interface Cards (NICs): The ATTO family of FastFrame NICs deliver high performance I/O connectivity and lossless Ethernet support where guaranteed data delivery rates are required. As a pioneer in iSCSI, ATTOs FastFrame product line has been designed for more rigorous data transfer and reliability, with driver support for Linux , Mac , Windows and virtualized file systems. Available in single, dual and quad-port configurations, the 10GbE NICs can be used anywhere in a high performance infrastructure, including workstations, storage, servers and data center racked servers. Leveraging ATTOs exclusive ADS Technology, FastFrame products provide high bandwidth and managed latency for high-performance, enterprise-level iSCSI storage as well as standard 10GbE network infrastructures.
ExpressSAS Host and RAID Adapters: Optimized for extremely low latency and high-bandwidth data transfer, the ExpressSAS lines wide variety of port configurations and RAID levels offer flexibility and reliability for the most demanding applications.
