ATTO FibreBridge™ 4500R/D
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Bridge for High-availability Environments
The ATTO FibreBridge™ 4500R/D is a
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge featuring
three (3) independent Fibre Channel ports
each with a 1-Gigabit SC optical connector
and four (4) independent Ultra2 SCSI
ports. With three independent Fibre
Channel ports the user can designate
one port for failover purposes or utilize
all three for maximum data bandwidth and superior data transfer.
TECHNICAL
HIGHLIGHTS
• 3 x 4 with three independent 1.0625Gigibit Fibre Channel ports and four (4)
independent Ultra2 SCSI busses
ATTO’s intelligent Bridging Architecture™
offers a unique combination of features
that gives manufacturers the ability
to embed customized value into their
products.
