Atto launches what it claims is an industry first-- the Celerity FC-164E 16Gb/s fibre channel quad-channel host bus adapter (HBA) ideal for Linux and Windows environments.
The HBA supports higher IOP capabilities, allowing customers to handle the increased storage virtualised workloads demand. Other features include Atto Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) and MultiPath Director.
“These products deliver the highest bandwidth and port density, providing original equipment manufacturers and system integrators with an unprecedented solution when designing state-of-the-art data infrastructures.” the company says.
The Celerity FC-164E supports VMware 5.1 and Windows Hyper-V 2008R2, with Server 2012 updates to appear by late Q1 2013.
