Title
Thunderbolt 5 Technology

Thunderbolt 5 is here and represents a major leap in performance over its predecessors, Thunderbolt 3 and 4. Thunderbolt 5 doubles the total bi-directional bandwidth to 80Gbps for data devices and offers up to 120Gbps for Display Port monitors.

Using Thunderbolt and LTFS with LTO Tape to Enhance Media Workflows

Thunderbolt provides a solution to these obstacles when combined with linear tape-open (LTO) tape. Prior to Thunderbolt, moving large volumes of data in the media sector involved portable disks— there was no easy way to move content from a mobile computer to tape, which is less expensive. Now, connecting a Thunderbolt-to-SAS adapter outfitted with an LTO SAS tape drive provides a simple and affordable means to store, archive and transport large amounts of content.

Video Clarity Brings ATTO into 8K Streaming

Video Clarity, a software and hardware company in the broadcast media industry, is one such provider looking to take on the data challenges the market is anticipating. Video Clarity is in the business of making playout servers and analyzers, which enable customers to stream and analyze raw 8K footage. The ATTO solution came in the form of the ExpressSAS® host bus adapter (HBA). When Video Clarity approached ATTO with this problem, ATTO engineers recognized that the problem was RAID capability for maximum data access—something competitors just couldn’t supply. ATTO suggested using the 12Gb ExpressSAS HBAs to leverage 12Gb speeds and next generation PCI that would give them the bandwidth they needed to protect and stream 8K file sizes.

Virtualizing the Data Center

N_Port_ID Virtualization (NPIV) is a capability that is unique to Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). NPIV is an extension to the existing Fibre Channel standard, which restores the best practice of SAN zoning to the virtual environment by allowing the creation of a unique, virtual World Wide Name per virtual machine.
Virtualizing Veeam Tape Backup with SymplyPRO Ethernet

In virtualized infrastructures, backup applications like Veeam Backup & Replication depend on Windows servers to access tape hardware. Tape libraries, however, traditionally feature SAS or Fibre Channel connections — and hypervisors do not natively support passing those devices through to virtual machines.
VMware vSAN and Storage Virtualization

The speed, availability and predictable performance provided by Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs) have made them a go-to solution for enterprises that require resilient data storage. But Fibre Channel SANs aren’t a perfect fit for all organizations. For such organizations, VMware vSAN can provide that alternative. vSAN is VMware software defined storage (SDS), a hypervisor-based distributed platform that enables the convergence of compute and storage resources.

Work around Big Sur Gatekeeper for XtendSAN

With the release of macOS Big Sur, Apple has deprecated the socket we use to plug the ATTO Xtend SAN virtual SCSI driver into their kernel. In the past, Apple allows the user to “allow” the use of the driver but this option is not available in Big Sur.
