Celerity FC-41EL
Host Adapter
Single-channel, PCI Express to
4-Gigabit Fibre Channel Host Adapter
The Celerity FC-41EL provides connectivity for
next generation storage technology. PCI Express
interconnect and 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel, the FC-
41EL provides a cost-effective choice for high
throughput client and server environments.
The FC-41EL is capable of supporting digital
content creation, tape streaming and backup,
rich content delivery and complex database
applications.
The FC-41EL takes advantage of the latest in host
interconnect technology – PCI Express – a serial,
high-speed connection that supports aggregate
throughput up to 1 GB/second (x4 PCIe). The
FC-41EL leverages device drivers developed for
Celerity FC family of products to simplifying user
installation and support.
To ensure easy integration, the FC-41EL leverages
the existing Celerity FC software and hardware
architectures. The result is industry-leading
quality and a stable, field upgradeable software
architecture. It is fully backward compatible with
installed Fibre Channel infrastructure allowing you
to protect existing investments.
ATTO Celerity host adapters are an integrated
family of advanced storage connectivity solutions
that are designed to provide reliable connectivity,
intelligence and scalability. Meeting tomorrow’s
connectivity needs today, Celerity FC host
adapters extend the capabilities of software and
hardware, increase overall system performance
and drive intelligence all the way to the edge of the
SAN. Celerity, a platform for advanced storage
connectivity.
