This announcement makes Atto an connectivity provider with a full portfolio of adapters that support the latest Apple OS. Customers can download the latest drivers immediately.

Atto’s portfolio of network and storage connectivity products address all aspects of media production and IT infrastructure with integrated solutions that support each step in the process from content creation to monetization.

The OS X Yosemite sets a new standard for Apple OS performance and complements why users rely on Atto products. Mac OS X has long been a platform of choice for creative professionals, and applications such as HD and 4K digital production and video editing have expanded file sizes and project complexity, pushing users to grow their storage footprint. For its part, the company has continued to innovate and provide products powering these high-performance infrastructures, including the most demanding applications in media and entertainment, government and education, scientific, and large data block environments.

“The Apple community has consistently relied on Atto to power every facet of high-performance infrastructures and together have revolutionized workflows from creation to delivery,” said Wayne Arvidson, VP marketing and channels, Atto . “Atto’s decades long relationship with Apple, and the release of these drivers, demonstrate our continuing commitment to Apple’s OS, further allowing Mac users access to the latest technology needed to meet their increasing demand for faster storage and network connectivity solutions.“

Apple’s anticipated release last year of the redesigned Mac Pro, coupled with Atto’s release of Thunderbolt enabled Desklink products, sparked the imagination of the high-end creative professional. Atto has worked closely with Apple to provide connectivity to FC and SAS/SATA storage, as well as 10GbE. Earlier this year, Atto released its new extension of the Desklink family, Thunderbolt 2 enabled products with transfer speeds at 20Gb/s, for the creative professional who needs access to external storage and networks for I/O demanding applications, including 2K, 4K, 3D and ultra high-definition video post-production workflows.

Atto also offers several software-based productivity solutions for the Apple market supporting OS X Yosemite. Xtend SAN iSCSI Intiatiator software allows Mac users to garner the benefits of iSCS), one of the fastest growing storage networking protocols. With iSCSI, users can SAN applications such as collaborative digital video/audio workflows, laptop connectivity to SANs, and remote backups. In addition, Atto’s Express Power Center software is a RAID application that allows users to maximize attached storage when using Celerity FC HBAs, ExpressSAS/SATA and RAID Adapters and Desklink Devices for everything from digital content creation to large scale databases.

Atto’s portfolio of connectivity solutionsare available through leading resellers, system integrators, the Apple Store and the Atto Web Store.
