What to expect from ATTO Technology in 2022

We’re back in the office ready to take on 2022! It’s an exciting time right now for storage and network connectivity. The latest technologies such as NVMe, RDMA, PCIe 4.0, and Gen7 Fibre Channel will feature prominently in new and interesting solutions that enhance workflows of all types.

According to a survey we commissioned recently, two of the main hindrances to enterprise adoption of NVMe are limited scalability and very little management capability. ATTO Technology will address these obstacles with a product launch later this year.

Our new PCIe 4.0 and Gen 7 products and the maturation of technologies like NVMeOFC (NVMe over Fibre Channel) will drive Fibre Channel activity.

In Ethernet expect to see a continued emphasis on offload technologies that help to increase performance, specifically, offload technologies based on Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). Since RDMA-capable Ethernet adapters (SmartNICs) have been on the market for some time, the foundation has already been laid to expand upon the use of RDMA.

RDMA-based protocols like RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) should continue to be mainstreamed while solutions like Network File System over RDMA (NFSoRDMA) could emerge from the laboratory and generate greater market interest.

Look for updates to the popular ATTO 360 ™ Tuning, Monitoring and Analytics Software package. ATTO 360 is an all-purpose application for our Ethernet products that makes optimizing and monitoring Ethernet networks super easy.

While we’re happy to be in the office, we’re also looking forward to getting out of the office and back on the road! As of this writing, NAB Show 2022 will be live April 23 – 27 in Las Vegas, Nevada and we have plans to be there. We are also looking at other domestic shows to travel to where and when possible.
