The FiberBridge 6500 8 GB SAS/SATA Storage Controller from ATTO Technology is a performance tuned, manageable, protocol translator which allows FC initiators to communicate with SAS/SATA target devices. The FiberBridge 6500 allows your SAS/SATA disk storage to integrate into a Fiber Channel SAN. This provides the benefit of increased availability and scalability while allowing the use of direct attached storage on a shared Fiber Channel network.
The FiberBridge 6500 allows you to connect newer, faster and higher capacity SAS or SATA drive technology to your existing 2, 4 or 8Gb Fiber Channel SAN. By eliminating the fiber components in a drive chassis, power consumption is reduced along with costly fiber components such as SFPs and the quantity of switch ports required by storage.
The FiberBridge 6500 also includes Drive Map Director, which provides a predictable LUN mapping structure for SAS devices attached to the FiberBridge 6500.
- The FiberBridge 6500 allows you to connect newer, faster and higher capacity SAS or SATA drive technology to your existing 2, 4 or 8 Gb Fiber Channel SAN.
- Supports up to 254 SAS/SATA devices and will support SAS distances up to 100m.
- The FiberBridge enables users to manage storage infrastructures with features not found in direct connect technologies. Advanced read ahead and write cache algorithms in the FiberBridge give users the highest level of performance.
- Robust error processing enables the FiberBridge to manage disk and communication errors between targets and initiators. Email notification of errors and persistent error and trace logs assist troubleshooting in the field to minimize downtime.
- The FiberBridge 6500 includes Drive Map Director, a patent pending technology, which provides a predictable LUN mapping structure for SAS devices attached to the FiberBridge 6500.
- ExpressNAV System Manager is a remote management user interface for configuration, monitoring and management of ATTO Bridge products. Advanced tuning features include; performance monitoring, diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities, and phone home email notification.
- Several management interfaces are available including GUI, CLI, Telnet, SNMP and FTP. Streamline storage management with the tools you need to confidently and efficiently manage your storage infrastructure.
- By eliminating the Fiber components in a drive chassis, power consumption is reduced along with costly Fiber components such as SFPs and the quantity of switch ports required by storage.
- Available in standard 1U 19" Rack Mount or desktop and microATX form factors SpeedWrite feature enhances write performance by efficiently managing outstanding commands.
- Management capable through RS-232, Ethernet or in-band via Fiber Channel.
- Several debug tools available to help OEM customers release highly tested and reliable solution.
- Bridging Architecture provides optimized performance
- Virtual Drive Response reduces failed backups due to busy or slow-to respond storage devices (2H 2011)
- It provides the lowest cost per drive for Fiber Channel connectivity to SAS/ SATA and SSD storage. ATTO provides regular firmware updates and maintenance programs to keep the FiberBridge up to date with advances in technology.
| Bridging Features |
The core control logic driving ATTO Bridge products is optimized to maintain priority for data transfers while providing memory management and cooperative multi-tasking Drive Map Director provides consistent drive, shelf and rack device LUN mapping Universal Virtual Device Architecture (UVDA) product which supports protocol conversion between hosts and targets and designed to move data quickly and efficiently Virtual Device Manager (VDM) is a proprietary software architecture that assures the smooth flow of data. VDM minimizes overhead by creating a virtual link between initiators and targets on a per-command basis The Data Routing Fabric topology incorporates advanced ASIC, firmware and interface technologies that enable users to configure bridges to specific operating environments Virtual Drive Response improves reliability by reducing failed or incomplete backups (2H 2011) Error Correcting Code (ECC) cache memory Max login management capability |
| OEM Customization |
Hardware configuration options allow for unique board ID to define initialization and characteristics of the OEM product Bridge configuration able to accommodate features which interact with custom software packages to enhance the bridging hardware OEM configuration files store OEM specific parameters in NVRAM which enable features, product naming and look and feel of the user interface for the OEM product Product labeling will allow OEM logo and naming to appear on the front of the rack mount or desktop enclosure |
