ATTO iPBridge 2500C/R/D Earns Microsoft Designed for Windows Logo for iSCSI Devices.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers AMHERST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2003 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 and storage-infrastructure solutions for Enterprise and workgroup environments, announced today that the ATTO Quintillionth (10 to the -18th power). See space/time. iPBridge(TM) 2500C/R/D has been qualified to carry the Microsoft Designed for Windows Logo. This qualification falls on the heels of Microsoft's earlier recognition that the iPBridge 2500C/R/D supports the Microsoft iSCSI software initiator. The ATTO iPBridge 2500C/R/D tested interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. with Microsoft's iSCSI software initiator, as well as support for the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force V1.0 iSCSI specification. "ATTO is pleased to offer IT managers the ability to improve ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). by extending the life of existing SCSI storage while migrating to a cost-effective iSCSI storage network with the deployment of the ATTO iPBridge," states Ed Tierney, director of product management for ATTO Technology. "Achieving the Designed for Windows logo for the iPBridge assures customers that the ATTO iPBridge is interoperable with the Windows platform." The ATTO iPBridge 2500C/R/D allows users to attach existing SCSI storage devices to IP networks affording IT managers the ability to deploy cost-effective iSCSI storage networks. Users can leverage their current Ethernet network, by providing the ability to attach or connect a SCSI tape library or other SCSI storage, such as disk or MO storage systems, and network them across an Ethernet IP-based network so more users can access existing storage devices. "Products such as the ATTO iPBridge play a critical role in driving the iSCSI momentum," says Zane Adam, director of product management and marketing for the Enterprise Storage Division at Microsoft. "We have been testing the ATTO iPBridge in our iSCSI labs for interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. with our software. We are pleased that ATTO has worked with us and has obtained the Designed for Windows logo for its iSCSI solution." ATTO and Microsoft recognize that iSCSI is a viable option for storage networking. ATTO confirms its commitment to iSCSI with the general release of the ATTO iPBridge. The ATTO iPBridge provides investment protection for IT managers who desire to network their existing SCSI products together and make existing storage devices available to more users.
