    The IEEE manages the Company ID assignment, guaranteeing that no two manufacturers will have the same Company ID. The Device ID field contains a unique value assigned by ATTO Technology to every Fibre Channel product produced by ATTO Technology. When combined, these three fields create a 64-bit value, which is used to uniquely identify every Fibre Channel device.
