FastStream SC Embedded
Embeddable RAID Controllers
adds instant RAID protection and
ensures high storage availability
The ATTO FastStream SC 5500E and 7500E are
embeddable RAID controllers that deliver high
performance access to data and data protection
for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures
including: 4K and 2K digital film production, high-
definition video post, digital prepress, disk-to-disk
backup, medical imaging, email compliance, data
warehousing, data mining and transaction based
environments.
ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers provide
best of class performance and instant RAID parity
protection to any SAS or SATA storage device;
FastStream allows you to mix SAS and SATA
storage to integrate into a tiered storage solution
ATTO designed the FastStream to take advantage
of the latest in storage connectivity and processor
technology, these two benefits alone provide a
path for OEMs to provide products with the fastest
time to market. By embedding the FastStream SC
5500E or 7500E into a storage product and
private labeling the browser interface, Systems
Integrators and OEM customers can be sure to
lower development costs while creating a portfolio
which compliments existing product lines.
Designed as an embedded MicroATX RAID
Controller which integrates with SAS or SATA
storage to provide instant RAID protection and
advanced intelligence, FastStream RAID Control-
lers can be seamlessly integrated into standard
ATX or custom storage enclosures to provide a
high performance storage solution.
The FastStream SC 5500E and 7500E add
advanced intelligence features such as Phone
Home email alerts, real-time performance metrics,
N-way mirroring, global hot spares and more.
Users can add storage as needed, when needed
with the capacity expansion feature. Specific
OEM-only features are available to provide a more
synergistic look and feel to your product.
