Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) CacheAssure™ ADS latency management technology is built into every ATTO host bus adapter (HBA) and RAID Uses supercap technology to protect cached data for up to 10 Adapters RAID controller, providing the fastest, most consistent time-to-data, delivering the best-in-industry years. Manages data during power up and power down. Eliminates battery-related maintenance, reducing IT costs. aggregate bandwidth and predictable data transfers for high performance applications. ATTO Products with ADS™ Technology Drive Map Director™ ATTO’s Drive Map Director™ technology provides a logical, static topology and enables 7000 login parameters, access management and security for racks of SAS/SATA storage during configuration or maintenance, reducing additional administration costs and resources. NICs/CNAs 5600 4200 Data transfer performance DriveAssure™ is smooth and reliable DriveAssure™ repairs drives to prevent premature drive failures and slow downs to 2800 maximize system uptime. Also ensures 100% throughput during data rebuilds. 1400 DVRAID™ Solutions ATTO 0 ATTO’s DVRAID™ technology is optimized for digital content creation Solutions ATTO environments which require protection in the event of a disk failure Competitors Product without the performance penalty traditionally seen with parity RAID. 1600 intelligent Controller Architecture™ 1280 Disrupted transfer with ATTO’s intelligent Controller Architecture™ technology combines powerful peaks and drops 960 hardware with an efficient data engine to create a platform that delivers Devices Desklink performance with a rapid IO ramp and extremely low latency. 640 Transfer rate dips below optimal performance levels MultiPath Director™ 320 A proprietary technology available on ATTO’s Fibre Channel host bus adapters and 0 Desklink devices that enables Linux®, Mac® and Windows® workstations and servers to connect directly to enterprise-class storage with redundant controllers, providing ATTO’s heritage of pioneering solid-state storage technology means that all failover and load balancing capabilities across multiple paths to the storage. Controllers Storage products are engineered to manage latency in real-time environments: Optimized Device-Direct Transfer ATTO’s patented technology pre-processes data and organizes • Higher application performance = better productivity command strings allowing for accelerated movement of data directly • Better transaction processing = faster time to revenue & critical business decisions between storage devices in a SAN without the need for a server. Switches • Ability to handle larger workloads & client counts Pure Signal Integrity ATTO products, including cables, are designed to minimize jitter, crosstalk, reflections and power supply noise, preventing data loss and maximizing data transfers. Smooth Data Optimization™ Proprietary technology in ATTO's Power Center Software that accelerates Software transfer of data and manages latency across multiple drives. SpeedWrite SpeedWrite efficiently queues outstanding write commands to enhance the throughput of data transfers. Virtual Device Manager Cables "ATTO is our go-to company for connectivity. We rely on the performance and reliability Virtualizes devices in one protocol so they can be managed ATTO products provide, and use their products in all of our solutions.” by a controller of a different protocol. -James McKenna, Vice-President, Marketing & Pre Sales, Facilis Technology, Inc. Virtual Drive Response (VDR) Virtual Drive Response (VDR) technology enables devices to queue and execute commands on behalf of busy or unresponsive tape storage, reducing the number of failed or incomplete backups. 2 3 Adaptive Path Optimization DriveAssure™ HBAs Performace Plus Protection Extend the Life of Your Drives ATTO's Adaptive Path Optimization has built-in intelligence to sense when multiple paths Studies show that up to 60% of IT budgets are spent on maintenance. DriveAssure to drives are available and direct I/O accordingly. For the cost of a cable, you can see up to a searches for bad sectors or slow spots and repairs them without failing the drive, Adapters RAID 70% performance improvement. The ExpressSAS RAID adapter automatically configures and preventing the loss of critical assets and ensuring drives run longer, smoother and faster. reconfigures for optimum I/O balance and is scalable to work with cascaded arrays and expanders. Drives are groomed to effectively extend their useful life, reducing maintenance costs. Maximum Availability Maximize System Uptime Up to 2/3 of storage failures are caused by interconnect issues. Adaptive Path Fast access to, and rapid delivery of data is critical in today’s virtualized and NICs/CNAs Optimization eliminates single points of failure in storage connections by creating “big data” environments.
