1 ATTO iPBridge 2700 provides storage options

The ATTO iPBridge

2700C/R/D iSCSI to Fibre Channel bridge offers an affordable opportunity to transform Fibre Channel storage into network-enabled addressable devices, creating scalable solutions for an iSCSI SAN.

The iSCSI protocol allows storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives and libraries and CD jukeboxes to attach easily to Internet Protocol networks such as Gigabit Ethernet. The ATTO iPBridge supports the high throughput needs of streaming data transfers, optimizing performance and management using ATTO Technology intelligent Bridging Architecture™.

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE):

a transmission technology based on the Ethernet format and protocol used in local area networks (LANs), providing a data rate of 1 billion bits per second (one gigabit) as defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard.

The iSCSI protocol:

increases the capabilities and performance of storage data transmission by transmitting data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet, providing location-independent data

The iSCSI protocol enables complete SAN solutions based on a Gigabit Ethernet network infrastructure. iSCSI is a logical SAN alternative to direct-attached storage where simplicity, flexibility and price/performance are critical. iSCSI encapsulates SCSI packets in TCP, then routes the packets using IP. Block-level storage data is transported over IP networks using SCSI commands. Data may be accessed from virtually anywhere that can be reached through the Internet, eliminating physical boundaries. iSCSI implements SANs cost-effectively and manages SANs using technologies that you already have and understand such as SCSI, IP, Ethernet and SNMP, allowing you to take advantage of these interoperability benefits. iSCSI also lowers the investment cost of adding new servers to a SAN for both primary storage and backup applications.

storage and retrieval to enhance current and future Storage Area Networks (SANs).

ATTO iPBridge 2700 features, benefits

The iPB2700 is a cost effective, high performance bridge using four Gigabit Ethernet ports and two independent 4-Gb Fibre Channel buses. The iPBridge comes in two form factors:

• 4U cPCI embeddable circuit board or blade,

designated as the iPBridge 2700C

• a rack mount / desktop version (13”d x 19”w x

1U) designated as the iPBridge 2700R/D

Because the iPBridge 2700C/R/D provides a compact embeddable, rack or desktop solution, you can install the iPBridge in a wide range of system configurations. Uniquely designed to support the high throughput needs for applications that require streaming data transfers (data backup), the iPBridge optimizes performance by using ATTO Technology intelligent Bridging Architecture.

Connectivity, infrastructure solutions

The topology of a heterogeneous Storage Area Network shown below demonstrates the critical role ATTO products play in the design and implementation of a SAN. Whether your application needs are data-intensive or bandwidth intensive, you need to store and manage that data and then deliver it to end-users efficiently. ATTO products have been engineered with the highest performance and lowest cost available today.

1.1 ATTO iPBridge 2700R/D

The ATTO iPBridge 2700R/D is a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to Fibre Channel 1U full-rack bridge for high performance, cost effective solutions in enterprise environments.

The iPBridge 2700R/D includes a single power supply, four Ethernet data ports, an Ethernet management port, a serial management port and two Fibre Channel data ports. It includes a battery-backed Real-Time-Clock, and an IP Time client (RFC 1631 compliant).

Designed to fit into a 1U, full-rack enclosure, the iPBridge 2700R/D supports side mounting so it may be mounted into a standard 19-inch rack. The ports and AC power are accessed from the rear of the unit while LEDs showing port activity and status are in the front.

Battery-backed event log SRAM & Real-TimeClock:

A rechargeable Lithium ion battery cell will hold the memory in a 512KB SRAM for up to 30 days.

If the iPBridge has been disconnected from power, recharging begins automatically when power is restored to the system. The battery is fully charged after 24 hours of continuous power application.

Ethernet interface

The four independent 100/1000 GbE RJ45 Ethernet data ports support IP v.4 in compliance with IEEE 802.3 GbE. Each may also be used for iPBridge management.

A separate 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 management port may be used for iPBridge management.

GbE cables must be at least CAT-5E certified for 1000 Mb/sec. use.

Fibre Channel interface

The two independent optical SFP 4-Gb Fibre Channel ports auto-negotiate to 1-, 2- or 4-Gigabit devices. They provide full support for direct connect for F-port fabric switches, Class 3 and intermix ANSI Fibre Channel specifications, PLDA, public loop login (NL-ports) and fabric connect (N-port) and full duplex transmissions.

Serial port

The RS-232 serial port provides support for remote monitoring and management using a DB9 connector. The baud rate is programmable and preset at the factory to 11500.

_____________________________________

2 Install the iPBridge 2700R/D in your desktop or

rackmount environment.

To mount in a rack

a. Attach “L” brackets so that the front

side with the LEDs faces front and the connector side is at the back.

b. Install the iPBridge horizontally within

the rack so it does not reduce the air flow within the rack.

c. Properly ground the iPBridge 2700R/D

to the rack equipment. The earth ground connection must be maintained.

The power requirements plus the power draw of the other equipment in the rack must not overload the supply circuit and/or wiring of the rack.

3 Connect Fibre Channel devices to the iPBridge

and attach CAT 6 or CAT 5E cables to the GbE port(s) on the iPBridge. (For details, refer to
