ATTO Technology FastStream SC 8500E Specification Sheet

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

• Instantly add parity protection to

storage to ensure data is pro­tected without compromising
performance

• When used with ATTO Celerity

Multipathing, multiple paths to
storage provide additional
reliability in the event of a Fibre
Channel link failure

Blazing Fast Performance

• 8-Gigabit connectivity provides

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

FastStream™ SC 8500E

Embeddable FC to SAS/SATA RAID Controller

Embeddable RAID Controller

provides high bandwidth
8-Gigabit storage targets

The ATTO FastStream SC 8500E is an embedda­ble 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, high-definition video post,
digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, imaging,
email compliance, data warehousing, data mining
and transaction based environments.

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.

ATTO designed the FastStream to take advantage
of the latest in storage connectivity and processor
technology, these two benefits provide a path for
OEMs to provide products with the fastest time to
market. By embedding the FastStream SC 8500E
into a storage product and private labeling the
browser interface, OEM customers can be sure to
lower OEM development costs while creating a
portfolio which compliments existing product lines.

Designed as an embeddable microATX RAID
Controller which integrates with SAS and/or SATA
storage to provide instant RAID protection and
advanced intelligence, FastStream RAID Control­lers can be seamlessly integrated into standard
ATX or custom storage enclosures to provide a
high performance storage solution.

The FastStream 8500E adds advanced intelli­gence features such as Phone Home email alerts,
real-time performance metrics, N-way mirroring,
global hot spares and more. Users can add stor­age as needed, when needed with the capacity
expansion feature. Specific OEM-only features are
available to provide a more synergistic look and
feel to your product.
