Celerity FC-42ES
Dual-channel 4-Gigabit
Fibre Channel Host Adapter
Featuring ADS™ Technology
The fastest storage technology just got better! The
Celerity FC-42ES leverages two next-generation
storage technologies - PCI Express interconnect
and 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel.
With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/second per
channel, the FC-42ES supports the most
demanding application requirements, including
high-definition video, rich content databases and
other high-bandwidth environments.
The FC-42ES takes advantage of the latest in host
interconnect technology – PCI Express – a serial,
high-speed connection that supports aggregate
throughput up to 1 GB/second (x4 PCIe). Software
compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products,
the FC-42ES uses the same device drivers as the
other Celerity FC family products, simplifying user
installation and support.
ATTO Celerity host adapters are an integrated
family of advanced storage connectivity solutions
that are designed to provide reliable connectivity,
intelligence and scalability. Meeting tomorrow’s
connectivity needs today, Celerity FC host
adapters extend the capabilities of software and
hardware, increase overall system performance
and drive intelligence all the way to the edge of the
SAN. Celerity, a platform for advanced storage
connectivity.
