ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage
connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing
environments, today announced the launch of its latest offering in its family of
high-performance products, the FastFrameTM 10Gb/s Ethernet Network Interface

in high-bandwidth data transfer, the FastFrame NIC is the only card of its kind
on the market offered in Quad, Dual and Single port options for PCIe 2.0 data
interconnects.
Growth in bandwidth intensive data I/O environments, including Internet Protocol
(IP) traffic, voice over IP (VOIP), Video on demand (VOD), High Performance
Computing (HPC) clustering, combined with the available processing power in
multi-core processor servers is driving users to adopt 10Gb Ethernet solutions.
ATTO’s 10Gb Ethernet NICs not only meet and exceed the growing demands of
traditional host-to-host networking, but they also expand the possibilities to
Ethernet based storage by supporting Data Center Bridging.
ATTO’s FastFrame NICs, based on Intel
chip technology, offers field-proven, industry standard network connectivity
available for Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems, making them the most
versatile 10Gb/s Ethernet cards available for high-bandwidth I/O connectivity
found in markets such as media and entertainment, education and government . In
addition, they provide lowest power consumption, up to 30 percent lower than
similar products, easing data center budgets when it comes to overall power and
cooling costs.
“With a wide variety of high-bandwidth connectivity
products and a majority share in the media and entertainment markets, ATTO
FastFrameTM 10Gb Network Interface Cards are a natural extension of ATTO's
product portfolio, “ said Timothy J. Klein, president and CEO for ATTO
Technology, Inc. “ATTO’s FastFrame extends the benefits of 10Gb/s network
