NVMe continues to create a buzz through the industry with its incredible gains in storage access. The evolution of the specification continues with the addition of the FC-NVMe protocol.

With FC-NVMe, Fibre Channel will natively transport NVMe, giving it near direct-attached speed and identical capabilities. The performance increase in flash storage access over Fibre Channel will be nothing short of remarkable.

With servers and storage constantly getting faster, the hardware that connects it all needs to stay a step ahead. The next generation of media streaming, cloud, flash storage and web-scale environments will all have significant speed and bandwidth requirements.

As an example, today movies and television shows are being shot in 4k, which already requires up to 26 Gb/s of bandwidth per stream to capture, edit, and render. However, 6k and 8k resolutions are being tested and are expected to be hit the market within the next few years.

Your business has been growing over the past decade, and it wasn’t too long ago that you had a server rack installed. At the time one SAS Raid Array made sense because you were planning to virtualize everything.

Now, two hosts and an additional 100 employees later, you need more IOPS and more storage. What can you do with your SAS Raid Array?

For many developers, illumos, with its streamlined interface and integrated ZFS file system, has become the go-to operating system for many software defined storage, cloud hypervisor and other commercial applications.

Apple’s newest iMac Pro™ is a cutting-edge platform designed by Apple for the professional content creation community. With all of that power, slow connections to storage and to the outside world would be a serious letdown. The ATTO ThunderLink® line is there to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Avid Connect is always a great opportunity to share ideas and talk about the ways ATTO Technology, Inc. works with partners like Avid and creative professionals. This year it was held just prior to NAB, from April 6-8 at Wynn Las Vegas.

Each year at NAB, the conversations revolve around solving production challenges. 4K and 8K workflows are among the most pressing challenges content producers are facing. ATTO showed at NAB how to easily overcome those challenges.

Every year, the Creative Pro User Group (CPUG) Network hosts SuperMeet, a gathering of editors, digital filmmakers and content creators during NAB. SuperMeet started as a grassroots movement 17 years ago and retains that one-on-one feel today.

ATTO Technology is continuing its 30 year history of being a company on the cutting edge of data storage and connectivity solutions at NAB 2018, April 9-12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Avid® Connect is the annual, must-attend event that happens just before NAB. ATTO Technology, Inc. is a proud sponsor and charter member of Avid Connect – we look forward to meeting up with our partners and peers in Las Vegas!

ATTO and Lenovo bring their performance and reliability solutions to the SuperMeet Community on Tuesday, April 10th, at the 2018 SuperMeet in Las Vegas.

ATTO is now shipping ThunderLink® 3128 Thunderbolt™ 3 to 12Gb SAS/SATA adapter. ThunderLink 3128 is certified for both Mac and Windows to support the growing number of Thunderbolt 3 platforms.

ATTO joined Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) in April, 2018, and is looking forward to guiding and promoting Fibre Channel technology. The FCIA is an international organization of manufacturers, system integrators, developers and other industry professionals committed to supporting and developing Fibre Channel.

ATTO deployed their XstreamCORE™ FC 7550 SAN storage controller as a solution for mega-contractor Torcon. Torcon had three hosts sharing a RAID Array with limited expansion options, and considered replacing everything until ATTO stepped in with a future-ready solution.

The choices and possibilities utilized for Storage Area Networks (SANs) can quickly become overwhelming. A new white paper by IT industry research specialist G2M provides a roadmap through SAN Fabrics, making it easier to identify the proper solutions.

Although NVMe is still in the early stages of adoption, ATTO Celerity™ FC HBAs already support FC-NVMe. The NVMe protocol will allow fast access to flash storage, but only FC-NVMe will unleash its full potential.
