FastStream™ SC 8500

SAN Storage Controller for SAS/SATA Storage

Product Features

Collaborative Workflow

• Multiple fibre channel ports

allow small workgroups to share
storage without the need for an
expensive fibre channel switch

Instant Data Protection

• Aggregate inexpensive JBOD

storage to create a high perform­ance, data protected solution

• When used with ATTO Celerity

Multipathing additional reliability
is provided in the event of a Fibre
Channel link failure

Blazing Fast Performance

the highest available bandwidth
for streaming applications

• Single lane performance burst

speed provides up to 800 MBps

• The FastStream SC provides the

performance to support 4K and
2K digital film or YUV 10-bit un­compressed high definition video

Smooth Data Streaming

• Support for multiple workstations

accessing data over a SAN

• Add additional storage with on-

the-fly capacity expansion and
expand existing RAID groups
while keeping all data intact

One-click Installation

Database and General IT
environments

FastStream Storage Controller

provides 8-Gigabit Fibre Channel

RAID Protected Storage for high

performance applications

The FastStream SC 8500 Storage Controller is a
scalable RAID controller that delivers high
performance access to data and data protection
for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures
including 4K and 2K digital film production, high­definition video post, digital prepress, disk-to-disk
backup, imaging, email compliance, data ware­housing, data mining and transaction based envi­ronments.

Technical Highlights

• DVR AID™ and RAID 0, 1,
4, 5, 6, 10, 40, 50 and 60

• Celerity Multipathing
support for OS X,
Windows and Linux

• Four 8-Gigabit Fibre
Channel Host Ports

• Eight 3-Gigabit SAS /
SATA wide Device Lanes

ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers provide
best of class performance and instant RAID parity
protection to any SAS or SATA storage device;
FastStream allows you to mix SAS and SATA
storage to integrate into a tiered storage solution
and access non-block storage (Tape and Optical
drives) alongside your disk storage.

via two (x4) connectors

• Supports up to 128 SAS
and/or SATA Storage
Devices (Disk, Tape, etc)

• Up to 1.4 G B/sec
throughput with SAS

Designed as a 1U external appliance which
integrates with SAS or SATA storage to provide
instant RAID protection to up to 10 JBOD arrays,
the FastStream SC 8500 provides a cost-effective
alternative to purchasing additional RAID arrays.
Whenever storage needs exceed existing capacity
Online Capacity Expansion allows you to expand
or add new RAID groups just by connecting an
additional JBOD drive enclosure.

• 1GB ECC protected
cache memory

• SCSI Enclosure Services

• Advanced Management

via the ExpressNAV™
Storage Manager

By utilizing the “one-click” set-up wizard provided
by the ExpressNAV™ Storage Manager, tailoring
storage to your environment has never been
easier. Advanced intelligence features such as
Phone Home email alerts and real-time
performance metrics make it simple to manage
and maintain your storage.

• Drive Verification and
Performance Metrics

• Em ail Alert Notification

• RoHS Com pl iant

• 2 Year Warranty
