FalconStor Certifies ATTO Technology's Fibre Channel Host Adapters for IPStor.Business & Technology Editors Networld+Interop Atlanta 2001 MELVILLE, N.Y. & AMHERST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2001 Combination Results 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 Rates that Translate into Greater Data Accessibility and Return-On-Investment (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). ) FalconStor Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: FALC FALC Frame And Line Interface Component (electrical engineering) FALC French and African Language and Culture Center ), a leading storage-networking-infrastructure software company, and ATTO Quintillionth (10 to the -18th power). See space/time. (TM) Technology, a leading provider of storage-infrastructure products, today announced the certification of ATTO's ExpressPCI FCSW FCSW Florida Commission on the Status of Women FCSW Fibre Channel Switch Fibre Channel host adapter Also called a "controller" or "host bus adapter," it is a device that connects one or more peripheral units to a computer. It is typically an expansion card that plugs into the bus. IDE and SCSI are examples of peripheral interfaces that call their controllers host adapters. See host. with FalconStor's IPStor(TM) to discover, aggregate and virtualize To cause a virtual technique to be performed. See virtualization. the storage equipment on the Fibre Channel SAN and to provision the virtualized storage resources to the servers attached to the FC Loop or Fabric. ATTO's HBAs will be on display in FalconStor's Booth # 2049 at Networld+Interop Fall 2001. The ATTO ExpressPCI FSCW FSCW Florida State College for Women FSCW Frequency-Stepped Continuous Wave enables PCI-to-Fibre Channel interconnect while maximizing productivity in SAN environments. The ExpressPCI FCSW uses an embedded Short Wave Laser Interface capable of streaming data over cable lengths of up to 500 meters. The adapter features full-duplex 1.0625-Gigabit data-transfer rates, Class 2 and F-Port support, 64/32-bit PCI bus interface and 66/33 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. compatibility. By integrating ATTO ExpressPCI HBAs into servers running IPStor, substantial improvements in I/O rates translate into greater accessibility and availability of data. IPStor is a storage networking software infrastructure that enables companies to utilize storage efficiently, execute backup quickly, expand capacity smoothly, and significantly reduce total storage management costs. It provides vital storage services-virtualization, active-active failover, capacity-on-demand, remote replication, mirroring, application-aware snapshot, zero-impact backup/restore enablers, and more--through a software-only design that runs on existing industry standard hardware. By incorporating today's well established data transport protocols (Fibre Channel, 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 IP) as well as emerging standards such as iSCSI and InfiniBand, IPStor provides both SAN and NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular to companies with immediate total freedom of choice in connectivity and storage hardware. Its future-proof architecture allows companies to stay on top of their ever-evolving data storage requirements. "We're extremely pleased to have been selected and certified with FalconStor's IPStor for Enterprise-class data protection on Fibre Channel storage networks," notes ATTO's Director of Marketing Donald Bauch. "By ensuring interoperable functionality between our ExpressPCI Fibre Channel host adapters and FalconStor's unique software solution, our mutual customers are assured high-availability of their data." "ATTO's ExpressPCI Fibre Channel host adapters' superior throughput and reliability complement the mission-critical nature of IPStor ". said Wayne Lam, FalconStor vice president of marketing. "FalconStor is dedicated to continuously collaborate with industry partners to expand IPStor with advanced functionality in the areas of high-performance, connectivity and availability."
