FastStream SC 8500
FastStream Storage Controller
provides 8-Gigabit Fibre Channel
RAID Protected Storage for high
performance applications
The FastStream SC 8500 Storage Controller is a
scalable RAID controller that delivers high
performance access to data and data protection
for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures
including 4K and 2K digital film production, high-
definition video post, digital prepress, disk-to-disk
backup, imaging, email compliance, data ware-
housing, data mining and transaction based envi-
ronments.
ATTO FastStream Storage Controllers provide
best of class performance and instant RAID parity
protection to any SAS or SATA storage device;
FastStream allows you to mix SAS and SATA
storage to integrate into a tiered storage solution
and access non-block storage (Tape and Optical
drives) alongside your disk storage.
Designed as a 1U external appliance which
integrates with SAS or SATA storage to provide
instant RAID protection to up to 10 JBOD arrays,
the FastStream SC 8500 provides a cost-effective
alternative to purchasing additional RAID arrays.
Whenever storage needs exceed existing capacity
Online Capacity Expansion allows you to expand
or add new RAID groups just by connecting an
additional JBOD drive enclosure.
By utilizing the “one-click” set-up wizard provided
by the ExpressNAV™ Storage Manager, tailoring
storage to your environment has never been
easier. Advanced intelligence features such as
Phone Home email alerts and real-time
performance metrics make it simple to manage
and maintain your storage.
