1 ATTO provides Fibre Channel solutions
The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and
scalability. Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage networking needs such as switching,
backup and data management. Specifically designed to enhance the functionality of third party fabric
hardware and software, Celerity FC products are the industry-leading platform for storage
connectivity.
Celerity FC-44ES Adapter
