1.0 ATTO FastStream Offers Data Protection

The ATTO FastStream™ Storage Controller is an ideal solution for the cost sensitive demands of today's
networked storage environments, offering great performance, OS independence, simplified management, and
RAID protection for all of your critical data.
Adding ATTO RAID ensures your data is protected
without compromising performance. ATTO
FastStream Storage Controllers are high performance
RAID storage devices which can be seamlessly
integrated into any storage environment without
regard to any particular manufacturer, type of drive,
capacity or speed.
ATTO FastStream controllers are ideally suited for
bandwidth intensive applications such as digital film,
video and audio as well as imaging, digital prepress
and disk to disk backup.
While RAID improves data accessibility and reliability
during normal operations, you still need a good
backup strategy for long-term protection of your data.
ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers are available in
industry standard rack mount 1U enclosures.

SES

Drive enclosures may provide a SCSI Enclosure
Processor which indicates enclosure health status,
drive identification and drive fault identification.
The ATTO Storage Controller recognizes drive
enclosures that provide SCSI Enclosure Services
(SES). You may use SES to identify individual drives,
all the drives in the same enclosure, all the drives in a
single RAID group, or faulted drives. You may also get
email notification and audible alerts for enclosure
issues.
