ATTO Fibre Channel Host Adapters and Hubs Qualified for Apple Xserve RAID.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Macworld San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden 2004 Booth #1642 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2004 Combined Solution Delivers High-performance Data Storage for Enterprise and Content Creation Customers ATTO Technology, Inc., a worldwide manufacturer of Fibre Channel, IP and 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. storage and storage-infrastructure solutions for Enterprise and workgroup environments, announced today at Macworld that ATTO Quintillionth (10 to the -18th power). See space/time. ExpressPCI Fibre Channel host adapters and ATTO FibreCenter(TM) hubs are now qualified by Apple to connect Macintosh computers to Apple Xserve RAID storage. "This certification from Apple is just the latest in our ongoing commitment to developing interoperable storage-infrastructure components," states ATTO 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. , Timothy Klein. "ATTO continuously strives to take third-party products such as Apple Xserve RAID to new heights of performance." "Xserve RAID delivers massive storage density and incredible performance for a breakthrough price," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "ATTO Technology's Fibre Channel products allow our customers to reliably deliver data to their mission-critical high-bandwidth applications." ATTO Fibre Channel host adapters are an ideal fit for connecting Xserve RAID because they enhance the performance of both transactional-intensive Enterprise environments such as database and messaging, as well as bandwidth-intensive environments such as digital video, digital audio, and desktop publishing. The exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS(TM)) Technology found in ATTO Fibre Channel adapters provides faster and more efficient transfer of data between critical applications and high-performance storage arrays such as Apple Xserve RAID. Fibre Channel hubs provide a reliable high-speed single-point solution between servers, clients and storage subsystems in a Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (hardware, standard) Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop - (FC-AL) A fast serial bus interface standard intended to replace SCSI on high-end servers. FC-AL has a number of advantages over SCSI. (FC-AL (Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop) See Fibre Channel. FC-AL - Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop. ) environment. Since ATTO Fibre Channel host adapters have been qualified by leading Fibre Channel switch In a computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel fabric, that is currently the core component of most storage area networks. vendors and Storage Area Network (SAN) Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), they provide an exceptional method for connecting the Apple Xserve RAID to SANs. ATTO FibreCenter hubs are deployed to aggregate device connections and reduce the required SAN fabric connection requirements offering a reduced total cost of ownership. Mac-compatible ATTO Fibre Channel host adapters include ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3321 - dual-channel 2-Gigabit adapter with LC SFF (Small Form Factor) Refers to a device that is smaller than others in its field. For example, a miniature display on a cellphone is an SFF device because displays can be extremely large on monitors and TVs by comparison. See form factor. Interface, ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3305 - single-channel 2-Gigabit adapter with HSSDC HSSDC High Speed Serial Data Connector Interface, and ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3300 - single-channel 2-Gigabit adapter with SW Optical LC SFF Interface.
