Fibre Channel-to-SAS Bridges
FibreBridge™ Fibre Channel Bridges
The ATTO FibreBridge™ allows you to integrate Direct Attached
SAS/SATA disk or tape storage into a Fibre Channel SAN. This provides
the benefit of increased availability and scalability while allowing the use
of direct attached storage on a shared Fibre Channel network.
• Includes patent-pending Drive Map
Director™ technology, which provides
a logical, static topology and enables
login parameters, access controls and
security for racks of SAS/SATA storage
• Compatible with all storage
devices including JBODs, hard disk
drives, SSD, tape libraries, RAID
arrays and RAID controllers
• Low power consumption reduces
overall electric and cooling costs
With Fibre Channel drives being phased out for SAS, the FibreBridge™
6500 will allow you to connect newer, faster and higher capacity SAS
or SATA drive technology to your existing 2, 4 or 8Gb/s Fibre Channel
SAN. Since SAS/SATA technology does not natively connect to Fibre
Channel SANs, a bridge must be used to allow coexistence on the
SAN. The FibreBridge 6500 also provides extensive manageability and
troubleshooting features not found in direct attached technology.
