Title
Reduce OPEX with XstreamCORE

ATTO XstreamCORE provides features and technologies that enhance and improve direct-attached SAS storage while offering flexibility over native Fibre Channel products. Management and monitoring are two primary functionalities that the XstreamCORE adds to direct-attached storage products. Drive Map Director improves maintenance of storage by lowering overall operating expense (OPEX) costs by reducing the number of labor hours required to setup, manage and maintain storage.
SAN vs Direct-Attached Storage

The visibility of all storage to all hosts in a multi-host virtualized environment, combined with lower implementation costs, makes storage area networks a smart option for businesses of all sizes.
SAN vs. Hyperconverged Storage

Why SAN storage excels over Hyperconverged Infrastructures for performance, latency and capacity.
Take Full Advantage of Fibre Channel Speed with ATTO Thunderbolt 3 to 16Gb Fibre Channel ThunderLink

ATTO Technology, new Thunderbolt 3 to 16Gb Fibre Channel ThunderLink 3162 allows users to unleash the full power of Gen 6 Fibre Channel, boosting throughput over previous generations
of Fibre Channel capabilities used with Thunderbolt platforms.
Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C Connectors

Smaller form factors make Thunderbolt adapters a great component of mobile workstations and Thunderbolt 3 platforms have even more throughput capabilities to support 4K workflows.
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.
Thunderbolt Transfer Technology

Thunderbolt technology, co-developed by Intel and Apple, is a transformational I/O protocol that significantly simplifies the end-user experience by concurrently supporting data (PCI Express) and display (DisplayPort) connections over a single cable.
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.
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.
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.
