Sixteen 8 Gigabit FC ports
The ATTO FibreConnect™ 8300 series of 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switches provide enterprise-level features for small to mid-range SANs to enable high performance and low latency collaborative workflows. Available in 8, 16, or 24-port configurations, FibreConnect switches are an affordable solution for consolidating storage on a SAN, which increases productivity and allows multiple users to more efficiently share media resources.
The FibreConnect™ 8300 switches are easy to deploy, manage and integrate into both new and existing SANs. The FibreConnect series provides exceptional performance and functionality at an entry-level cost. These switches combine auto-sensing 2, 4, and 8Gb/s Fibre Channel throughput with features that greatly enhance workflow processes, allowing users to share media resources for applications such as HD video editing, post production, video-on-demand and complex databases. With Ports On Demand scalability from 8 to 16 or 24 ports, the 8300 series enables organizations to grow their storage networks when necessary, in a non-disruptive manner.
The FibreConnect 8300 switches are the perfect complement to ATTO’s 8Gb/s Celerity Fibre Channel single, dual and quad-channel host bus adapters.
