TECHNICAL
HIGHLIGHTS
The ATTO FibreBridge™ 4500R/D is a
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge featuring
three (3) independent Fibre Channel ports
each with a 1-Gigabit SC optical connector
and four (4) independent Ultra2 SCSI
ports. With three independent Fibre
Channel ports the user can designate
one port for failover purposes or utilize
all three for maximum data band-
width and superior data transfer.
ATTO’s intelligent Bridging Architecture™
offers a unique combination of features
that gives manufacturers the ability
to embed customized value into their
products.
The FibreBridge 4500R/D meets the
performance, reliability and fault-
tolerance requirements for Enterprise-
class storage applications as well
as for any Storage Area Network
(SAN) environment.
