ATTO Highlights Certified Server Solutions
A

TTO Technology, a global
leader of storage, network
connectivity and infrastructure
solutions for data-intensive
computing environments, recently
showed its fully certified, nextgeneration connectivity solutions
for Dell rack server environments
at Dell World 2013 in Austin, Texas.
In the Dell Technical Partner
Pavilion, ATTO highlighted the recent
certification of their FastFrame
10Gb Ethernet Optical Network
Interface Cards (NICs) and Celerity
Gen 5 16Gb Fibre Channel Host
Bus Adapters (HBAs) with the Dell

72

ATTO's high bandwidth and low
latency Celerity 16Gb Fibre Channel
quad channel card

PowerEdge R620 and R720
rack servers.
Dell's latest generation of the
PowerEdge family is engineered
with the right combination of
features and performance scalability
to handle tough workloads for
both large and small data centre
environments.
The PowerEdge R620 rack server
is a hyper-dense, two-socket,
1U rack server that has a large
memory footprint and impressive
I/O options to make it exceptional
for space-sensitive environments.
The PowerEdge R720 rack server
was built to run complex workloads
using highly scalable memory, I/O
capacity and ﬂexible network
options. These server units,
when connected to ATTO
products, offer a solution
that supports the most
demanding application
requirements.
ATTO Gen 5 powered Celerity
16Gb Fibre Channel HBAs, including
the industry's ﬁrst quad channel
card, deliver the highest bandwidth
and lowest latency available in the
market, as well as reliable and
scalable connectivity with twice

the maximum
throughput
of
previous solutions.
ATTO's Advanced Data
Streaming (ADS) technology
manages latency in real-time
environments for the smoothest
data streaming and best-in-industry
data transfers, while MultiPath
Director allows not just servers,
but also Windows, Linux and Mac
workstations to directly connect to
enterprise class storage, reducing
the latency commonly found in
client-server architectures.
ATTO's FastFrame 10Gb Ethernet
NICs comprise a versatile portfolio
for ﬂexible design, whether used in
workstations, servers or data centre

ATTO's FastFrame 10Gb Quad
port Ethernet NIC

racked servers. Available in single,
dual and quad-port conﬁgurations,
FastFrame NICs include high quality
SFPs and deliver high performance
I/O connectivity and lossless
Ethernet support for improved iSCSI
block storage access.
Quad-port cards remove switchto-server bottlenecks and free up
PCI slots for easier system design.
FastFrame NICs incorporate
ATTO's exclusive ADS technology
and are proven to outperform
competitive products in demanding
applications that require low latency,
all while saving up to 30% in power
consumption.

A Disc For Each Application
E

ver y year the Broadcast
Video Expo (BVE) welcomes
professionals and industry-leading
manufacturers from the broadcast
and production industry. BVE is the
essential broadcast and production
technology event, showcasing
technologies and services for the
production, management and
broadcast of audio-visual content.
Primera Technology, manufacturer
of CDs and DVDs, and publisher of
Blu-ray discs, presented its product
range of disc publishing and disc
duplicating equipment at the show
in London at the end of February.
Some might say using optical
discs is "old-school" since saving
data in so-called data clouds is what
everyone seems to talk about. But
disc publishing and duplicating is an
easy and great way to distribute data
- especially video and audio ﬁles -
and simultaneously have a great
marketing effect when discs are

printed with one of Primera's disc
burning and printing devices.
This year Primera ran a poll asking
everyone who visited their booth
some simple questions including
who still uses optical media and for
which applications.
At the time of editorial deadline
the results of the survey were not
yet available.
Depending on the needed disc
capacity, whether Blu-ray or just
CD/DVD support is requested and
whether a desktop or industrygrade solution is needed, Primera
offers several different models
starting with the Disc Publisher SE
(DP-SE) - a small 20-disc capacity
desktop model, and ends with
the DP-4102 XRP - an industrial
version that comes in an 18-gauge
steel cabinet with locking front door,
and a high-wattage auto-switching
commercial power supply. It can also
be rack-mounted.

With built-in high-speed
recorders, direct-to-disc
printing and fast robotics,
Primera's disc printers and
publishers automate the process of
burning and printing quantities of
CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. The
devices are used by a wide variety
of organisations including corporate
marketing, training videos and
tutorials, freelance videographers,
event agencies, video production
studios, television stations
and many more.
For small production runs DP-SE
is an excellent choice. It is affordable
enough for virtually any business.
DP-SE produces full-colour discs
in jobs of up to 20 discs at a time.
It's the perfect, low-cost automated
printing and publishing solution.
If single unique copies or small

quantities of professional-quality
discs are needed, the DP-SE is a
suitable choice.
Primera's award-winning DP-4100Series Disc Publishers are the fastest
in their class. Full-colour, 100%
coverage discs with near-perfect
print quality are printed in just six
seconds each. DP-4100 Series
offers separate ink cartridges for
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
This saves money on every printed
disc as only the colours that are
empty need to be replaced. This is
especially true for print layouts using
more of one colour than another.
