Atto Entering Into 10GbE Network Adapters With Intel

ATTO Technology, Inc. introduced the
ATTO FastFrame 10
Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters, the latest in its portfolio of
connectivity products.

The FastFrame NS11 (single port) and FastFrame NS12 (dual port) leverage
the Intel Ethernet 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller to meet the
bandwidth-intensive demands of high-performance, unified storage
environments in performance IT and media and entertainment markets.

ATTO’s FastFrame family of 10GbE Network Adapters reduce a data center’s
total cost of ownership by providing flexible and scalable unified SAN
and LAN storage connectivity. With support for iSCSI remote boot,
Data Center Bridging and load-balancing on multiple CPUs, the FastFrame
NS11 and NS12 increase system performance by balancing network loads
and reducing latency, while eliminating redundant network infrastructure
components and lowering administration costs. The FastFrame NS11 and
NS12 feature a x8 PCIe 2.0 bus and deliver up to 10Gb/s
throughput per port, making them an ideal solution for high-bandwidth
data transfers, such as clustered computing, IP content delivery,
medical imaging, and video rendering.

“We are pleased to announce the release of our FastFrame 10GbE
network adapter product line to meet the high performance demands of
today’s data center,” states Tim Klein, president and CEO of ATTO
Technology. “By working with an industry-leader in 10 Gigabit
Ethernet technology, we are now delivering the most comprehensive
storage connectivity solutions based on high-performance technologies.”

ATTO’s FastFrame family of 10GbE network adapters are the first
offerings in what will be an expanding FastFrame product family. The
FastFrame NS11 and NS12 will be followed by ATTO’s FastFrame Converged
Network Adapters, featuring ATTO’s time-tested Fibre Channel driver
technology, in Q4, 2010.

“Intel’s 10GbE technology helps address the storage connectivity
industry’s demand for a solution that provides flexible and scalable
Ethernet adapters for routing both LAN and SAN traffic over a single
fabric,” said Steve Schultz, director of product marketing, LAN
Access Division, Intel Corporation. “With the Intel
82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller in network adapters such as the
FastFrame product line, storage connectivity companies such as ATTO are
well-positioned to handle the bandwidth-intensive demands of multi-core
processing applications.”
