FibreBridgeTM 2370E
Fibre Channel Bridge
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Bridge
Featuring Performance Support for
Next-Generation Storage Media
As Storage Area Networks (SANs) increase in
prevalence the need increases to make Direct At-
tached Storage (DAS) available on the network.
The benefits of networked storage, such as in-
creased availability and scalability, in addition to a
more efficient utilization of storage, is helping to
drive this transition. This poses a problem for or-
ganizations who have already invested thousands
of dollars in SCSI-based storage, yet wish to mi-
grate to a SAN. ATTO FibreBridges help ad-
dress this need by offering Fibre Channel connec-
tivity to native SCSI devices, extending the useful
life of SCSI storage while eliminating the need to
purchase additional storage.
The ATTO FibreBridge™ 2370E offers a high-
performance architecture supporting next-
generation storage media. Thanks to industry-
leading support for 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel and
Ultra320 SCSI, the FibreBridge 2370E provides the
throughput required by today’s advanced next-
generation storage in embeddable form factor for
easy integration into SCSI devices. The included
graphical user interface (GUI) makes set-up and
maintenance a breeze, while other ATTO-designed
features help boost performance and increase
availability.
With an architecture utilizing a 4-Gigabit Fibre
Channel interface, the FibreBridge 2370E supports
the latest in storage media, including LTO-3 and
SDLT600, in an embeddable form factor making
integration a simple task.
