ATTO Celerity FC-24XL Storage Adapter

Quad-channel Fibre Channel Storage Adapter Featuring Integrated

Offl oad and Processing Center with ADS™ Technology

ATTO Celerity storage adapters are an
integrated family of advanced storage
connectivity solutions. The Celerity FC-24XL is
a Fibre Channel Advanced Storage Adapter.
Providing four independent channels of 2-Gigabit
connectivity, it simplifi es SAN fabric design.
With capabilities and performance available
exclusively from ATTO, the FC-24XL allows the
movement of intelligence and data manipulation
to the edge of the fabric.

Celerity FC-24XL provides four independent
channels of 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity
for the highest port density in the industry.
Improved effi ciency and reliability is achieved
through innovative hardware design, resulting
in better data-transfer quality.

At the heart of the Celerity FC-24XL is the
Integrated Offl oad & Processing Center (IOPC).
Using an Intel XScale® processor core and
an internal 133 MHz PCI-X data bus for top
performance and low latency, the Celerity FC-24XL
IOPC can be adapted to perform a variety of
high-value functions that take advantage of
onboard buffering and processing. These
capabilities include data stream manipulation,
direct port-to-port transfers, offl oad processing,
video handling and other custom advanced
functions.

The FC-24XL is part of ATTO’s Celerity family
of storage connectivity products. These
products are designed to provide reliable
connectivity, intelligence and scalability.
Meeting tomorrow’s connectivity needs today,
Celerity FC adapters extend the capabilities of
software and hardware, relieving them from
their data management burdens.

Increase overall system performance and drive
intelligence all the way to the edge of the SAN.
