ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
1 ATTO iPBridge provides storage options
The ATTO bridge family of products provides GbE-to-SCSI or Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges available
as embeddable boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rackmount integration, or desktop
units, depending on the model and your needs.
The ATTO iPBridge and ATTO FibreBridge
family of products share common configuration
options and functions to provide the most
versatile connectivity options available. Each
product has been engineered to address specific
customer needs. New capabilities are integrated
into products throughout the family as much as
possible, requiring only an upgrade of firmware to
incorporate them into your SAN (Storage Area
Network) or NAS (Network Attached Storage).
The ATTO iPBridge 1500/1550 is a cost-effective
way of expanding your existing storage capacity
without sacrificing performance. The ATTO
iPBridge 1500/1550 is ideally suited to the SME
or for corporate IT departments seeking to expand
storage requirements with minimal disruption
while making existing SCSI equipment accessible
over an Ethernet network to all network users.
To make sure you have the most up-to-date
version of the firmware, visit the ATTO
