ATTO launches what it claims is the fastest storage controller in the industry-- the FireBridge 7500, with enterprise-level fibre channel to SAS SSD/HDD latency speeds reaching less than 4 microseconds.
Based on the FireBridge 6500, the 7500 allows customers to build high performance flash, hybrid or high capacity storage with standard SAS SSD flash or HDDs and direct-attached JBOD storage enclosures. It uses dedicated memory modules and data paths to ensure commands don't compete for shared system resources while boosting data transfer rates.
Complementing it are other ATTO products, namely the 16GB/s and 8GB/s Celerity fibre channel host bus adapters.
"IT professionals have invested a large portion of their equipment and personnel resources into developing next generation data centers only to realize there remains a significant bottleneck in their storage infrastructure," the company says says. "By utilizing this unique ATTO platform with off the shelf JBOD storage and software defined storage capabilities, users can create a best of class solution."
The FibreBridge 7500 is shipping now.
