Atto Qualified by Bloombase Technologies

Bloombase Technologies, Inc. announced the completion of ATTO Technology, Inc.‘s Celerity FC HBAs and ATTO FibreConnect FC switches interoperability validation and that Bloombase has joined the ATTO Access Partner Program.

"Media, publishing and entertainment professionals produce large amount of copyrighted digital intellectual properties – songs, music, videos, graphics and articles, which need protection with special care," said Sean Xiang, CEO of Bloombase Technologies. "They require these data to be securely kept and locked down on static disks as much as they demand capacity, speed and ease of access when on the brew. By combining Bloombase non-disruptive data at-rest security solution and ATTO HBAs and Fibre Channel Switches available for Apple Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, it is a dream-come-true for digital content makers who want to turn their jukebox SAN into a secure vault."

Customers used to be left with no choice but costly, difficult-to-manage, and proprietary hardware products when it comes to FC SAN at-rest data encryption. Bloombase empowers customers to regain openness in defense-in-depth storage security and enables businesses of all sizes to secure their digital assets by using ATTO FC connectivity.

"We are pleased to be qualified with the Bloombase Technologies solution," said Wayne Arvidson, vice president of marketing at ATTO Technology. "By pairing our fibre channel HBAs with Bloombase storage systems, users in the media and entertainment industry can benefit from the leading technology in storage security and privacy."

Celerity FC HBAs extend the capabilities of software and hardware, increase overall system performance and drive intelligence of the SAN. ATTO Celerity FC-84EN uses two next-generation storage technologies – PCIe 2.0 interconnect and 8-Gigabit FC. With 8Gb/s FC speeds of up to 1,600MB/s per channel, the Celerity FC-84EN supports demanding application requirements, including high-definition video, rich content databases and other high-bandwidth environments. The ATTO FibreConnect 8300 series of 8Gb/s FC switches provide enterprise-level features for small to mid-range SANs to enable performance and low latency collaborative workflows.

Bloombase storage security systems enable non-disruptive data privacy over and above what was previously achievable only with host-based, fabric-based or storage-based solutions. With Bloombase agentless data security solutions, omplex and throughput-demanding media data services will benefit from the privacy and integrity assurance capabilities for at-rest data security. Combining ATTO Celerity FCl adapters and ATTO FibreConnect SAN switches, media and entertainment professionals can rely on the Bloombase SAN encryption security system to protect their media contents with security stored on SANs.
