ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3305

2.125-Gigabit Fibre Channel Host Adapter
With a Fixed Copper HSSDC Connector

The ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3305 host
adapter provides support for 2-Gigabit/sec.
Fibre Channel data transfers, and features
automatic speed negotiation capability.
This allows for complete compatibility
with existing 1-Gigabit/sec. Fibre Channel
Storage Area Networks (SANs), while enabling
seamless upgrades to higher speed
2-Gigabit/sec. SANs.

The ExpressPCI FC 3305 PCI offers a
unique combination of hardware and
software features that allow users to
measure storage performance, and
easily configure storage.

In addition to our ExpressPCI FC family of
products, ATTO recently released a new
line of Fibre Channel adapter products,
Celerity FC. Designed to provide reliable
connectivity, intelligence and scalability,
Celerity FC storage adapters meet tomorrow’s
connectivity needs today. With several
2-Gb and 4-Gb product options, Celerity
FC takes storage connectivity to

Fibre Channel

the next level.
