The ATTO Technology FibreConnect™ 8300 series of 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switches
provide enterprise features and benefits for small to mid-range SANs. The Atto
Technolgy FibreConnect 8300 enable high performance and low latency
collaborative workflows.
FibreConnect 8300 Series Fibre Channel Switch - 8Gb/s, 8, 16 or 24 FC Ports, 1U Rackmount
Available in 8, 16, or 24-port configurations, ATTO Technology FibreConnect switches are designed for consolidating storage on a
SAN, increased productivity and allows for multiple users to more efficiently share media resources.
Superior Workflow Performance FibreConnect switches provide high-performance connectivity with all ports capable of operating at 2, 4 and 8Gb/s to enable up to
192Gb/s of uncongested throughput. ATTOexclusive latency management features ensure smooth and reliable data transfer on the
SAN, a critical requirement for high-bandwidth video streaming or backup applications. This level of SAN performance provides
organizations with improved storage utilzation and enables faster LAN-free backup to increase overall system performance and
productivity.
Increased Efficiency FibreConnect switches significantly increase performance and functionality for SANs at a reasonable price, combining auto-sensing
2, 4 and 8Gb/s throughput with features that greatly enhance workflow efficiency. Implementing FibreConnect switches into a SAN
allow users to interconnect and share media resources for applications such as video production, editing and post-production.
FibreConnect switches are an affordable solution for consolidating storage on a SAN, which increases productivity and streamlines
workflow processes to meet project deadlines.
Advanced Scalability The FibreConnect family of switches integrate innovative hardware and software features that make it easy to manage and deploy
into a wide range of video and IT environments. With powerful and flexible Ports-On-Demand scalability from 8 to 16 or 24 ports in
8-port increments, FibreConnect allows organizations to start small and grow their storage
networks in a non-disruptive manner.
Simplified Management FibreConnect switches are easy to setup and configure with the Web Tools interface, making switch configuration, deployment and
management an easy process. The FibreConnect has self-configuring switch ports that adjust to match device speeds and
allows for firmware updates and error logging to increase overall serviceability.
