PowerCenter Pro Integrated RAID for ExpressSAS and ThunderLink

RAID Protection at No Extra Cost

Protecting data is one of the most critical tasks in any IT environment because recovering lost data can be expensive or, sometimes, even impossible. For years, ATTO hardware RAID adapters were relied upon for data protection, increased performance, capacity expansion, as well as enhanced management capabilities. These same capabilities are now available with ATTO PowerCenter Pro.

 

A software interface built into ATTO 12 Gb/s ExpressSAS® SAS/SATA HBAs and ATTO ThunderLink® Thunderbolt™ adapters, PowerCenter Pro adds RAID protection and performance without the need or cost of additional hardware RAID components. Users can easily create RAID 0, 1, 1e and 10 groups. Although it can be used with all storage media, PowerCenter Pro is particularly useful for SSD storage, which provides 10x more performance and up to 500x lower latency than traditional hard drives.

 

ATTO PowerCenter Pro integrated software RAID includes: RAID 0, 1, 1e and 10 options; Easy-to-use, fully scriptable ‘set it and forget it’ CLI and EFI interface for RAID group creation, monitoring and management; Full boot support, as well as support for hot spares

Multipath Director High-Availability & Performance Driver for Celerity FC HBAs

Connect Directly to ALUA Fibre Channel Storage Systems

Most storage systems utilize redundant RAID controllers with multiple Fibre Channel inputs to assure optimal performance and continuous uptime. Operating systems must support Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) to recognize and manage multiple paths to the same storage device. However, ALUA support can be limited in macOS© and each storage vendor implements ALUA differently.

 

ATTO Multipath Director is a proprietary driver that enables Apple©, Windows© and Linux©, hosts to connect directly to ALUA supporting storage systems, providing a completely redundant, high-performance storage solution for workstations and servers. Multipath Director automatically discovers, configures and manages connectivity to the storage controllers for optimal performance. Competitor products are limited to using the native multipathing software built into macOS.

 

ATTO has tested and customized Multipath Director to assure interoperability and optimal performance with flexibility and management capabilities to tune for distinct workflows. Multipath Director also uses load balancing to aggregate performance across multiple Fibre Channel links to increase application performance. Multipath Director is available only for ATTO ThunderLink© Thunderbolt™ Fibre Channel adapters and ATTO Celerity™ HBAs.

 

  • High-Availability Storage – when paired with enterprise-class storage systems, provides a completely redundant, high-performance storage solution for workstation and server applications. Multipath Director ensures deadlines are met through high availability access to data for multiple users, enabling the swift and efficient completion of projects.
  • Superior Performance – load balancing across multiple paths to storage increases overall system performance by using more than one Fibre Channel path to transfer data. This functionality, combined with ATTO’s exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) latency-management technology, ensures the highest consistent performance. Thus making Celerity Fibre Channel host bus adapters the best choice for enterprise-class connectivity.
  • Improved Productivity – with automatic path failover and failback, Multipath Director allows multiple workstations or servers to continually access the same ’pool’ of storage. Real time and simultaneous access to data enables workgroups or single users to create efficient workflows that save time and money, while dramatically increasing a project’s time to completion.
  • Simplified Storage Management – The ATTO Configuration Tool, a standard offering with Celerity Fibre Channel HBAs, is an easy-to-use GUI for maintaining configuring, monitoring, managing and troubleshooting multiple connections between the storage and the host systems.
  • Extensive Interoperability – Celerity 32Gb/s, 16Gb/s, 8Gb/s, quad, dual, and single-channel Fibre Channel HBAs and ThunderLink Adapters are qualified for use with a wide array of high-end, enterprise-class storage systems from leading storage providers.
