The prevalence of digital content has given rise to a generation of business that relies on storage, retention and timely retrieval of data. Companies are utilizing digital content to create new products and services, generate additional revenue streams, accelerate research and development, and improve effectiveness in the global market. As more and more businesses create and utilize digital content across all areas of business, the need to store, manage and access this information quickly and efficiently becomes a top priority.

The Atrato V1000 revolutionizes data access and storage by conquering I/O bottlenecks between storage and servers, opening the door to new applications and revenue opportunities for end users. The solution "changes the game" in a fundamental and powerful way by delivering massively parallel access to hundreds or even thousands of small form-factor disks at a fraction of the cost of current solutions.
