Atto and Cisco Certify 32Gb FC SAN Solutions

Meets bandwidth needed to support multiple streams of 8K, 4K and HDR video.

ATTO Technology, Inc. announces that its Celerity 32Gb FC HBAs are certified with Cisco Systems MDS 9000 switches.

The company demonstrated speeds during NAB 2019 using its 32Gb Celerity HBAs and a Cisco MDS 9396T FC switch. The combined FC technology exceeded the bandwidth necessary to support many streams of 8K, 4K, and HDR video, demonstrating how effective this solution is for performance, collaborative video editing environments.

ATTO will have this demo at IBC 2019 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, September 13-17.

Celerity 32Gb Gen 6 powered HBAs deliver the high bandwidth and low latency, as well as reliable and scalable connectivity with twice the maximum throughput of previous solutions. Celerity 32Gb HBAs feature firm’s Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) Technology to manage latency and provide controlled acceleration and ATTO MultiPath Director, which provides load balancing and path failover protection.

We are excited to collaborate with Cisco Systems, whose storage switch solutions are an ideal match for ATTO’s low latency, highly reliable and future proof HBAs,” said Timothy J. Klein, president and CEO, ATTO.  “With this certification, FC users are assured their infrastructures will operate at the highest performance possible.

The next-gen Cisco MDS 9396T 32Gb 96-Port FC switch provides fast FC connectivity in the SAN. It offers analytics and telemetry capability built into its next-gen ASIC platform. It addresses the requirement for scalable, virtualized, intelligent SAN infrastructure in current data center environments.

We’re pleased to team with ATTO to provide joint customers a superior performance solution with Cisco’s 32G FC storage switches, as demonstrated at NAB 2019,” said Adarsh Viswanathan, senior manager, product management, Cisco data center solutions. 

The industry is transitioning to 32Gb fixed switches thanks to the availability of HBAs like Celerity and compatible storage arrays.  Additionally, as low-latency flash arrays and dense virtualization deployments become more pervasive, fixed switches are expected to provide 32Gb connectivity to the SAN core.

ATTO products are sold through VARs, system integrators and the firm’s Web store.
