2 ATTO FibreBridge supports diverse SAN needs
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products provides a Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge available as a
Compact PCI board, a stand alone enclosure that can be fitted for rackmount integration, or a desktop
unit, depending on the model and your needs.
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products share
common configuration options and functions to
provide the most versatile connectivity options
available. Each product has been engineered to
address specific customer needs. New capabilities
are integrated into products throughout the
FibreBridge family as much as possible, requiring
only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them
into your SAN (see Chapter 13). To make sure
you have the most up-to-date version of the
firmware, visit the ATTO Technology website,
www.attotech.com.
All ATTO FibreBridge models include full duplex
mode, Class 2 transfers and direct fabric connect
capabilities.
