ATTO Technology Demonstrates High-Performance Storage Connectivity for Audio and Video Environments at NAB

Las Vegas, NV, April 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments, will be showcasing its extensive line of storage connectivity products for demanding digital media applications at the 2010 NAB Show this week in Las Vegas. Located in booth SL2512, ATTO will be featuring their latest product offerings, including the FastStream™ SC SAS/SATA RAID Storage Controller with 8Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity to SAS/SATA storage, Celerity 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters, FibreConnect™ 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Switches and ExpressSAS SAS/SATA RAID adapters, in three live demonstrations aimed at improving workflow performance and productivity.

High-Performance Collaborative Workflows
SAS/SATA RAID Storage Controllers – provide shared RAID solutions for high-performance video environments. FastStream RAID Storage Controllers allow SAS/SATA JBOD storage to be shared among several workstations without the need for a Fibre Channel switch. This demonstration will feature the FastStream and the newly-announced MultiPath Director™, the industry’s first Fibre Channel solution for workstation connectivity to enterprise-class storage. With FastStream, users can edit up to 5 streams of 10-bit uncompressed HD video or 30 streams of DVCPro® HD video with an easy-to-use ExpressNAV™ storage manager for simplistic setup, management and maintenance of all RAID groups. FastStream RAID Storage Controllers provide high-performance RAID protection while maintaining application performance and supporting full stream counts in degraded mode. With proprietary latency-management technologies like ADS™ and DriveAssure™, FastStream is an ideal choice for users demanding uninterrupted access to media and maximum shared storage performance.

Fast and Efficient HD Video Streaming
8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters and 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Switches – deliver high-performance and high-availability SAN connectivity for digital media environments. The combination of Celerity HBAs and FibreConnect switches creates a collaborative workflow that enables the sharing of digital content with others. With throughput of up to 6400MB/s, this solution allows media and entertainment professionals to edit multiple streams of 4k film or HD video. ATTO’s Fibre Channel host bus adapters and switches offer the most extensive interoperability with leading audio and video infrastructure vendor within the media and entertainment industry. ATTO’s SAN connectivity solution, featuring Celerity and FibreConnect, is engineered to provide smooth and reliable data transfers, increasing productivity and streamlining workflow processes to help meet project deadlines.

Uninterrupted Access to Digital Media Storage
ExpressSAS SAS/SATA RAID Adapters – provide high-performance data protection for HD and SD video workflows. Featuring 6Gb/s SAS/SATA technology and ATTO’s 18 years of experience developing the ATTO RAID Stack, ExpressSAS RAID adapters provide an intelligent RAID solution for workstations in Direct Attached Storage environments. ATTO’s RAID adapters deliver affordable host-level RAID for high-bandwidth workflows, such as digital content creation, streaming video and video-on-demand. With latency-management technologies like ADS and DriveAssure, as well as CacheAssure™, a flash-memory protection module that safeguards against the loss of cached data during a power or system failure, ATTO’s RAID adapters maintain the highest consistent streaming performance.
