ATTO Technology ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile Technical Specifications

ExpressPCI UL5D

Product Features

Blazing Fast Performance

• Maximize data throughput
with dual channel connectivity
aggregating performance
across multiple SCSI ports

• Leveraging the latest in SCSI
storage connectivity, the
UL5D low profile delivers up
to 640 MB/sec. data through­put, making it twice as fast as
Ultra160 SCSI.

Smooth Data Streaming

• Maintain accessibility to mis­sion-critical data by transpar­ently redirecting data requests
through alternate channels.

• Alleviate data transfer bottle­necks and move data more
efficiently while managing
latency with ATTO’s exclusive
ADS™ technology.

One Click Installation

• Save time with factory preset
configuration for plug and play
operation.

• Simplify installation, manage­ment and monitoring with a
multi-platform Configuration
Utility featuring an intuitive
GUI.

ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile

Low-Profile

Industry’s first Low-Profile

Dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI

PCI Express Host Adapter

The ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D Low-Profile SCSI
host adapter is the industry’s first true low-profile
PCIe SCSI host adapter, and is the perfect
complement to ATTO’s existing high-performance
SCSI host adapter line. The UL5D LP offers users
the same high-performance and feature set that
ExpressPCI SCSI host adapters are renowned for,
but due to the low-profile form factor of the UL5D
LP, it is also ideal for integration into enclosures
where space is at a premium, such as 1U/2U
server chassis. The UL5D LP offers external dual­stacked VHDCI SCSI connectors, allowing direct­attached applications to realize data-transfer rates
of up to 640 MB/sec.

Additionally, the ExpressPCI UL5D LP offers
support for the next generation of PCI bus
technology with a 4-lane PCI Express (PCIe)
interconnect. By leveraging the high-performance
of both PCI Express and Ultra320 SCSI, the UL5D
LP is an ideal fit for data-intensive environments,
including video-editing applications requiring
support for multiple streams of 10-bit high­definition video. The combination of high­performance and a low-profile form factor provides
an ideal solution for space constrained enterprise
servers, as well as high-end workstations running
high-volume, mission critical applications such as
messaging and databases.

ATTO host adapters offer ATTO’s exclusive
Advanced Data Streaming (ADS
and the ExpressPCI UL5D LP is no exception.
ADS manages latency and allows for fast and
efficient data movement, reducing CPU utilization.

With features including Ultra320 SCSI, PCI
Express technology, the industry’s first true low­profile form factor dual channel design, and ATTO­exclusive technologies such as ADS, the
ExpressPCI UL5D LP is perfect for providing high­performance Ultra320 SCSI to space-constrained
chassis and enclosures.
