The FibreBridge 3200R meets the growing needs of the Enterprise environment for a highly reliable and available Fibre Channel-to-SCSI connectivity solution with the broadest range of intelligent management capabilities and Fibre Channel features. As Storage Area Networks (SANs) become more pronounced within these environments, deployment of the FibreBridge 3200R will allow IT managers to leverage existing SCSI storage devices, thereby resulting in overall cost savings and return on investment, while taking full advantage of the inherent benefits of Fibre Channel technology. "ATTO is committed to developing innovative connectivity products and technology for the Enterprise community," states ATTO Director of Marketing Don Bauch. "The Enterprise landscape encompasses a diversity of applications and places extreme demands upon SAN connectivity solutions to deliver superior levels of performance, reliability and interoperability. The ATTO FibreBridge 3200R establishes a new benchmark for Enterprise connectivity technology. We are pleased to introduce this product at N+I 2000." The new ATTO product offers an array of new features including support for F-Port, Class 2 and full duplex transfers, direct fabric support, along with dual GBIC (GigaBit Interface Converter) A hardware module used to attach network devices to fiber-based transmission systems such as Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. and SCSI ports available in an LVD See LVDS. LVD - Low Voltage Differential option. The FibreBridge 3200R also offers management capabilities through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. , Telnet, FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to and SCSI enclosure services Most recent SCSI enclosure products support a protocol called SCSI Enclosure Services (SES). The initiator can communicate with the enclosure using a specialised set of SCSI commands to access power, cooling, and other non-data characteristics. . The 3200R is packaged in the same high availability rack mount system as other products in the ATTO FibreBridge family, providing dual redundant hot swappable product modules and power supplies. Observes Bauch, "The ATTO FibreBridge 3200R, like all ATTO connectivity solutions, is designed to maximize performance and customer value. NetWorld+Interop is the preeminent forum for storage and computer networking for fast-evolving marketplaces like the Enterprise environment. We look forward to end-users discovering the benefits of Storage Area Networking with the addition of this new ATTO connectivity solution." About ATTO Technology, Inc.
