ATTO Announces New Family of Storage Networking Switches

ATTO Technology, Inc., has announced its FibreConnect Family of 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Switches. According to the company's news release on PR-USA, FibreConnect 8300 is a series of high-performance 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switches. The switches are easy-to-configure storage area network (SAN) switches that enable small to mid-range organizations to more efficiently and reliably share data.

"ATTO's FibreConnect 8300 series of 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switches deliver high-performance connectivity with 8-, 16- or 24-ports of 8Gb/s performance in an energy-efficient 1U form factor. ATTO-exclusive latency management features ensure smooth and reliable data transfers on the SAN, which is a critical requirement for HD video streaming, post production, video-on-demand, complex databases and other applications that run on multiple workstations or servers. The FibreConnect family allows multiple users to share media resources while working simultaneously on projects, creating a productive and efficient workflow.

"FibreConnect combines auto-sensing 2, 4 and 8Gb/s throughput with innovative hardware and software features, making them easy to deploy into a wide-range of high bandwidth video streaming or backup storage environments. With the flexible Ports-on-Demand option, a “pay-as-you-grow” upgrade path that allows organizations to expand their SAN infrastructure at their own pace in a non-disruptive manner, the FibreConnect 8300 series are ideal for both new and existing SAN environments."
