ATTO Technology Announces the Industry's First and Only True Low Profile PCIe SCSI Host Adapter.AMHERST, N.Y. -- ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments is the only vendor that offers a low profile dual-channel host adapter utilizing 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. and next-generation PCI Express (PCIe) technology. Offering throughput of up to 320 MB/sec. per channel for a combined speed of up to 640 MB/sec., the ATTO Quintillionth (10 to the -18th power). See space/time. ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile 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. is ideal for integration into enclosures where space is at a premium. The high performance, low profile design is perfect for space constrained server environments of SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. and SMB markets. Easy to deploy, manage and scale, the UL5D Low-Profile host adapter is the ideal solution for data-intensive environments such as 10-bit high definition video, transactional database applications, email servers and large server farms. "ATTO Technology continues to set the standard for high performance SCSI adapters with the introduction of the only low-profile Ultra 320 PCIe SCSI host adapter and furthers ATTO's strategy of offering the most robust, comprehensive line of PCIe connectivity solutions. We will continue to deliver industry-leading solutions that meet our customers' performance expectations and aggressive time-to-market requirements," states Ed Tierney, director of marketing for ATTO. The ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D Low Profile SCSI Host Adapter combines x4 PCI Express technology and Ultra320 speeds for high performance server environments and applications such as high definition video. PCI Express is a low-cost, highly scalable serial technology that delivers added performance by increasing the I/O capacity while eliminating bus contention. This allows for faster and more efficient performance with reduced I/O bottlenecks. The ExpressPCI UL5D incorporates ATTO's exclusive ADS(TM) Technology which moves large blocks of data faster and more efficiently on the PCI bus than any other host adapter on the market. The UL5D Low-Profile host adapter is backward compatible with legacy SCSI devices and is an ideal fit for data intensive environments best suited for Enterprise servers and high-end workstations running high-volume, mission-critical applications such as messaging and databases. Because of its next-generation technology, the UL5D will provide more options for performance enhancements over PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. , and will leverage existing investments in legacy technology. About ATTO Technology, Inc.
