ATTO Technology has launched its portfolio of 16Gb/s Fibre Channel solutions consisting of Celerity Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), FibreConnect switches and FastStream RAID storage controllers.

These new products provide users the ability to create an entire Fibre Channel infrastructure that delivers high-speed, high-capacity storage on multiple platforms, according to Wayne Arvidson, vice president of marketing at ATTO Technology. The Celerity 16Gb Fibre Channel HBAs are based on the latest PCIe 3.0 technology to deliver the highest bandwidth and lowest latency available in the market, as well as reliable and scalable connectivity with twice the maximum throughput of previous solutions, he adds.

Arvidson says they address the needs of workflows including capture, edit, content management and distribution with faster and more efficient data transfers featuring ATTO’s Advanced Data Streaming technology for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux environments, as well as high IOPS IT environments.

ATTO’s FibreConnect 1600 series of 16Gb Fibre Channel switches are engineered to deliver data transfer on a SAN, a critical component for applications such as video streaming and virtualized environments. When combined with Celerity 16Gb/s HBA's, FibreConnect switches provide complete SAN connectivity with high-bandwidth, low latency and the lowest power consumption in the industry, says Arvidson.

The ATTO FastStream 9000 is a 16Gb/s Fibre Channel RAID Storage Controller that allows users to attach to SAS/SATA JBOD storage. ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers enable small to medium sized studios to incorporate a collaborative project environment for ingest, editing, and rendering high definition video, digital film and audio.
