Swiftness of action or motion; speed. See Synonyms at haste. [French célérité, from Old French, from Latin celerit sets new standards for Fibre Channel storage connectivity ATTO Technology ATTO Technology is a manufacturer of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments. ATTO manufactures host adapters, interface-bridging appliances, Virtual Tape Library appliances, RAID appliances, and management software with storage , 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-infrastructure solutions, announces the ATTO Quintillionth (10 to the -18th power). See space/time. Celerity FC Storage Adapter product line. Celerity Fibre Channel (Celerity FC) Storage Adapters take ATTO's industry-leading technology and wrap it around industry-standard connectivity. The results are the next level in the evolution of Fibre Channel connectivity and the foundation for a revolution in storage applications. Solving tomorrow's advanced connectivity needs today, Celerity FC offers a highly integrated family of storage adapters designed to satisfy the needs of both host systems and fabric devices. With its unique integrated, onboard hub design, Integrated Offload & Processing Center (IOPC IOPC International Oil Pollution Compensation IOPC Information Operations Planning Capability ), and Advanced Data Streaming Technology (ADS(TM)) - the Celerity Fibre Channel Storage Adapter line provides an unsurpassed value proposition at very aggressive prices. The new line of Celerity Fibre Channel Storage Adapters includes 2-Gigabit single-, dual-, and quad-channel adapters. They act as highly intelligent engines that bring intelligence to the edge of the fabric. Celerity FC-24XL provides four independent channels and features ATTO's Integrated Offload & Processing Center. The IOPC provides additional processing and buffering capabilities onboard the storage adapter, significantly reducing application server CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. usage and offering a platform for additional capabilities. Celerity FC-22XH is a dual-channel adapter that features ATTO's unique, integrated, onboard hub design. Customers have the option of taking advantage of four external Fibre Channel ports or using the adapter as a standard dual-channel product. Users can also take advantage of the extra ports to increase the number of available connections per PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). expansion slot A receptacle inside a computer or other electronic system that accepts a printed circuit board. The number of slots determines future expansion. See PC data buses. (hardware) expansion slot - A connector in a computer into which an expansion card can be plugged. . In addition to providing a cost-effective connectivity option, this exclusive technology may eliminate the need for additional Fibre Channel fabric A Fibre Channel fabric (or Fibre Channel switched fabric, FC-SW) is a switched fabric of Fibre Channel devices enabled by a Fibre Channel switch. Fabrics are normally subdivided by Fibre Channel zoning. Each fabric has a name server and provides other services. hubs or switches, simplifies the fabric design and reduces hardware costs of implementing a Storage Area Network. The Celerity FC-21PS is a single-channel, Fibre Channel Storage Adapter that is designed as a high-quality, cost-effective choice for connecting host systems to Storage Area Networks. The complete line of Celerity FC Storage Adapters features ATTO's unique Advanced Data Streaming (ADS(TM)) Technology which enables users to achieve the ultimate in 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 provides controlled acceleration of large and small blocks of data, ADS provides faster, smoother and more efficient transfer of data for streaming applications. Celerity FC storage adapters offer reliable connectivity. Attention to detail in design has allowed ATTO to manufacture a product with the highest-quality signal transmission. Clean power and data signaling ensure complete transmission of data, the first time. This maximizes overall fabric bandwidth because data retransmission Retransmission might refer to:
"The ATTO Celerity FC Storage Adapter line brings unique capabilities for specialty applications such as high-speed data streaming and high I/O server applications signifying a leap to the next generation adapter in Fibre Channel storage connectivity," states Tim 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. "With the release of our new Celerity FC Storage Adapter line, a new class of Fibre Channel storage adapters is being introduced to the market at a very aggressive price level. The combination of intelligence, performance, connectivity and price will open new markets for Fibre Channel connectivity." ATTO Technology will continue to accelerate its role as an industry leader in storage infrastructure solutions with the extension of the Celerity architecture with 4Gb and 10Gb Fibre Channel products in the near future.
