Atto Expands Connectivity Certifications With NetApp

ATTO Technology, Inc. is expanding its portfolio of connectivity options for NetApp, Inc’s storage and data management solutions with the Celerity 8Gb and Gen 5 powered 16Gb HBAs and ThunderLink 1082 Desklink device.

Enterprises and users in performance markets – such as financial services, the public sector, media and entertainment, healthcare, energy and scientific research – are challenged by the increased amount of data sets and require technology solutions to retrieve, analyse and process information.

The combination of ATTO’s connectivity, coupled with NetApp E-Series and EF-Series storage systems, which deliver up to 12GB/s of sustained bandwidth and over 400K IO/s at sub-millisecond latency, provides the solutions needed to meet those requirements. EF-Series all-flash arrays and E-Series platforms with Celerity HBAs meet growing market demand for dense, performance-oriented architectures, delivering performance, reliability, efficiency and scale.

This certification includes following NetApp products:

E2600 hybrid array
E2700 hybrid array
E5400 hybrid array
E5500 hybrid array
EF540 all-flash array
EF550 all-flash array

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 exclusive features.

ATTO’s MultiPath Director allows users to manage direct connections and multiple paths to NetApp enterprise storage systems, increasing the reliability of Linux Mac OS X and Windows applications, all while improving performance and protecting data through load-balancing and fail-over.

ATTO’s Celerity Gen 5 powered 16Gb FC quad channel HBAs address the needs of Linux and Windows platforms in HPC, virtualization and other high-IO/s and high-bandwidth environments.

ThunderLink devices provide fast, redundant and highly-available connectivity to NetApp enterprise storage and are a suitable solution for environments where small form factor platforms, such as laptops and all-in-ones need to connect to storage and networks. They provide Thunderbolt technology enabled connectivity and the versatility to handle any protocol while addressing the demands of evolving work environments.

ATTO’s Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) manages latency in real-time environments. This results in application performance, better transaction processing and an ability to handle larger workloads and client counts.

ATTO has been a member of the NetApp Alliance Partner Program since 2010.

“Today’s IT market is changing and requires a very different level of performance characteristics,” said Wayne Arvidson, VP marketing and channels, ATTO. “ATTO has been solving performance challengesfor other markets for over 25 years and with the NetApp E-Series now brings this performance to big data IT infrastructures.“
