Las Vegas, NV, April 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments, today announced the first and only Fibre Channel connectivity solution that enables workstations in heterogeneous operating environments to connect directly to enterprise-class storage systems. ATTO’s MultiPath Director™, a high-performance and feature-rich solution that keeps data available in real time for multiple users, is now incorporated into ATTO’s Celerity 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters. MultiPath Director provides professional communities in media and entertainment, education, government, scientific, and many other growth markets, the option to integrate enterprise-class storage features into workstation applications.

Available with ATTO’s single-, dual- and quad-channel 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs and fully-qualified for use with the ATTO FastStream™ RAID Storage Controller, MultiPath Director addresses workstation-level needs for load-balancing and automatic path failover, features that were previously available only at the server level.
