FibreBridgeTM 2400C
Fibre Channel Bridge
Advanced Generation
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 DAS data
available on the network. The benefits of
networked storage, such as increased availability
and scalability, in addition to a more efficient
utilization of storage, is helping to drive this
transition. This poses a problem for organizations
who have already invested thousands of dollars in
SCSI-based storage, yet wish to migrate to a SAN.
ATTO FibreBridges help address this need by
offering Fibre Channel connectivity to native SCSI
devices, extending the useful life of SCSI storage
while eliminating the need to purchase additional
storage.
The ATTO FibreBridge™ 2400C is the premier
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge available on the
market today. Featuring industry-leading support
for both 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel and Ultra320
SCSI, the FibreBridge 2400 provides the
throughput required by today’s advanced next-
generation storage in an industry standard 4U
embedded form factor. 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 a high performance architecture utilizing a
4-Gigabit Fibre Channel interface, the FibreBridge
2400C is the industry’s first choice for Tape
Automation OEMs who need to integrate today’s
high-performance LTO-3 and SDLT600 tape
drives.
