ATTO Technology FastStream SC 8250 8 to 16-Port 6Gb/s SAS/SATA Storage Controller

The ATTO Technology FastStream SC 8250 8 to 16-Port 6Gb/s SAS/SATA Storage Controller is engineered for real-time applications which require managed latency for high-performance collaborative workflows. FastStream SC 8250 features technologies which ensure optimal performance, easy-to-use management and flexible connectivity solutions to provide the highest performing shared storage solution in its class.

The FastStream SC 8250 is designed to address demanding performance requirements while providing reliability and data protection for SAS or SATA JBOD storage. FastStream SC 8250's ADS and DriveAssure latency and disk management technologies ensure optimal performance and minimal latency. You simply need to connect a FastStream SC 8250 between your workstations or server and JBOD storage to instantly create a RAID protected storage area network without the complexity of traditional Fibre Channel SAN solutions.

The FastStream SC 8250 is an economical solution that delivers data protection for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures including high-definition video post-production, color grading, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, audio post, email compliance, data warehousing, data mining and transaction based environments.

The FastStream SC 8250 allows you to connect directly to 4 workstations or servers with ATTO ExpressSAS HBA's or create shared storage using SAS connections already on your workstation eliminating the need to occupy valuable PCIe slots.

By using onboard SAS connections to network storage, upto 16 workstations can share up to 256 TB of storage. Installing the FastStream is easy. Simply bring out the SAS connection to a back-plate on the workstation where it is connected via a SAS cable to the FastStream SC 8250. Multiple workstations are then connected and have shared access to external storage without the need for a Fibre Channel switch.
