ATTO ExpressPCI Ultra320 Low Profile SCSI Host Adapter Now Available with HP StorageWorks MSL Tape Libraries.AMHERST, N.Y. -- ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments, announced today that it will provide its ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile Ultra320 SCSI host adapter The controlling electronics for SCSI contained on a printed circuit board that plugs into the computer's motherboard. A SCSI host adapter is often called a "SCSI controller." See SCSI. for the HP StorageWorks MSL See multiple single-level. tape library family. The combined solution is ideal for customers' storage environments with business-class HP MSL tape libraries, where dual-channel connectivity complements direct-attached storage configurations by supporting performance of up to 640 MB/sec. through existing storage devices. "By using the ATTO Quintillionth (10 to the -18th power). See space/time. ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile Ultra320 SCSI host adapter with HP StorageWorks MSL tape libraries, customers will get a high performance storage connectivity solution with enhanced data throughput and reduced data recovery times for high bandwidth environments," states Timothy Klein, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ATTO Technology. The RoHS-compliant ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile offers dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. connectivity that delivers up to 320 MB/sec. per channel data-transfer rates. By leveraging the high performance of both PCI Express and Ultra320 SCSI, the UL5D Low-Profile is an ideal solution for backup and recovery in data-intensive IT environments. With ATTO's unique Advanced Data Streaming (ADS[TM]) Technology, the ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile enables HP MSL tape library customers to achieve enhanced I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output performance. With a combination of features that control acceleration of large and small blocks of data, ADS provides faster, smoother and more efficient transfer of data for backup applications. Storage data protection and recovery is important for companies that demand proficient, interoperable and reliable data-recovery applications. ATTO's ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile is specifically designed to deliver performance-oriented, easy-to-use, scalable and flexible ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP Host Adapter Available with HP StorageWorks Tape Libraries automated tape storage for environments with uncertain data growth and shrinking backup windows. "ATTO technology complements our HP StorageWorks MSL family of tape libraries, including the MSL6000, MSL4048, MSL8096 and MSL2024, and allows customers to effectively manage their growing needs for flexible and scalable storage environments," said Jeff Kato, director, Tape Automation, StorageWorks Division, HP.
