Description:

The ATTO FibreBridge 7500 is a storage controller that connects multiple shelves of SAS and SATA JBOD storage and virtualizes it to a Fibre Channel SAN Connection.

The ATTO FibreBridge 7500 allows IT departments to architect storage systems with the flexibility to use standard interface off-the-shelf storage hardware with increased bandwidth and low latency levels which improve performance and response. As a Data Center building block, the 7500 allows IT managers to architect their storage solution on their terms, avoiding vendor lock-in with modularity at each layer. The 7500 is used to aggregate and virtualize storage on a SAN (Storage Area Network) and has undergone qualifications with industry leading storage and SAN infrastructure products. The 7500 is easily integrated into IT infrastructures, providing lower operational costs with tools like a PCIe Analyzer, Drive Map Director and ExpressNAV.
