WhitePaper-Considerations-When-Selecting-A-Fabric-For-Storage-Area-Networks
Amidst the surging demands on modern storage architectures, driven by the massive influx of data from AI, autonomous vehicles, surveillance systems, and the intricate web of regulatory and financial requirements, a fresh perspective is essential. As we navigate this dynamic landscape, it becomes increasingly pertinent to reevaluate strategies that address the trifecta of performance, cost efficiency, and robust support. Stay ahead in this ever-evolving scenario by redefining how you approach the challenges posed by the data deluge.
DAS Over FC Technology Allows ATTO to Disaggregate Storage and Complete vSAN Certification Suite

FileAction
Whitepaper-vSAN-FC-July2020
ATTO Technology, Inc. completed the VMware vSAN ReadyNode certification suite in a manner that has never been done before. The test bed itself was formulaic, featuring three Dell R640 servers as hosts. No internal storage existed, aside from an SD card for boot and a single SAS SSD for logging, and all storage was placed within external SAS JBODs. What made this test groundbreaking was the storage configuration: the transport protocol was Fibre Channel (FC).
FCIA Fibre Channel Solutions Guide 2024

The Fibre Channel Solutions Guide is a document created by the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA). It serves as a comprehensive resource for IT professionals, administrators, and engineers to understand the capabilities and applications of Fibre Channel technology. The guide covers topics like the latest Fibre Channel standards, its use in modern data centers (including with all-flash arrays and NVMe over Fibre Channel), and its benefits for mission-critical applications that require high performance and reliability. It also discusses the role of Fibre Channel in storage area networks (SANs) and its continued evolution to meet new industry demands.

Fibre Channel Connectivity in Modern Content Creation Workflows

FileAction
WhitePaper-Fibre-Channel-in-Modern-Content-Creation-Workflows
For over a decade now, content creation infrastructure has been penetrated by IP-based networks and network-attached storage products. Shared storage, once the bastion of a handful of high-end facilities, has become commonplace with the help of network file systems and lower cost 1/10Gb Ethernet hardware. The most popular workstation operating systems have decent compatibility with these systems, and mapping network shares to the desktop for access to project files is a popular workflow.

It’s time for content creation professionals to pose the question, what do we lose in the move toward NAS topology, and what is better achieved through Fibre Channel with a custom shared file system?
