Atto Got Enterprise Brocade Certification

ATTO Technology, Inc. announced that its Celerity 8Gb and 16Gb FC HBAs have been certified by Brocade as qualified with Brocade-based SAN infrastructures, according to testing requirements of the Brocade Data Center Ready certification program. 

The certification program offers technology providers more robust testing and qualification of their products in Brocade fabric environments. Testing was conducted at Brocade Data Center Ready labs, which support interoperability and performance testing of SAN products in multi-vendor and large fabric environments. The Brocade Data Center Ready program boasts a group of members participating since its launch in 2000.

“FC is the primary storage technology that scales from SMB through Enterprise applications,” said Wayne Arvidson, VP marketing and channels, ATTO. “Brocade’s certification of ATTO’s 8Gb and 16Gb FC HBAs gives their customers the confidence that not only will they have the highest performance, but will benefit from all of ATTO’s unique technology, anywhere in their infrastructure.“

Celerity FC HBAs are designed to cover the performance spectrum from enterprise to workgroup and server to workstation environments. The integrated family of adapters is engineered to optimize data transfer using a combination of features that enhance the data delivery process.

ATTO’s Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) provides low latency for quicker time-to-data and data transfers for higher aggregate bandwidth in data intensive applications.

MultiPath Director enables not just servers, but also workstations, direct access to enterprise storage, further reducing latency and providing features like load-balancing and fail-over for faster, more reliable access to data.

Celerity Gen 5 powered 16Gb FC quad channel HBAs address the needs of Linux and Windows platforms in HPC, virtualization and other high IOP applications typically found in enterprise data centers.

Gen 5 FC SANs are the purpose-built, data center infrastructures for storage, while delivering reliability, simplicity and performance.

“For over 25 years, ATTO has created a series of industry firsts, such as the first quad channel 16Gb HBA,” added Arvidson. “Today’s announcement reinforces ATTO’s commitment to deliver innovative storage and network connectivity solutions that solve the toughest challenges facing high-performance business and data center infrastructures today, and in the future.“
