The ATTO Celerity FC-161P represents a significant advancement in storage connectivity technology, combining the power of PCIe 3.0 with 16-Gigabit Fibre Channel to deliver exceptional performance for enterprise storage environments.
This single-port host bus adapter delivers up to 3,200MB/s throughput in full-duplex mode, making it an ideal solution for bandwidth-intensive applications and high-performance computing scenarios.
The FC-161P is engineered to provide reliable, high-speed connections between servers and storage area networks (SANs), enabling organizations to build robust data infrastructures that can handle the demands of modern workloads.
Advanced Architecture
At the heart of the Celerity FC-161P is ATTO's exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) technology, which effectively manages latency for consistent data transfer performance.
This proprietary technology controls the acceleration of data transfers to move large amounts of information faster and more efficiently across the network.
The adapter's x8 PCIe 3.0 host interface ensures maximum bandwidth availability, eliminating potential bottlenecks between the server and storage infrastructure.
Versatile Deployment Options
The FC-161P comes with a low-profile form factor, making it suitable for installation in space-constrained server environments.
The included LC SFP+ transceiver simplifies deployment, allowing for immediate connection to Fibre Channel switches and storage devices.
With backward compatibility to 8Gb/s and 4Gb/s Fibre Channel products, the adapter provides investment protection while enabling organizations to upgrade their infrastructure at their own pace.
Enterprise-Class Features
The Celerity FC-161P supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual Fabric, enabling multiple virtual ports to share a single physical port.
This capability is particularly valuable in virtualized environments, allowing for more efficient resource allocation and improved management of virtual machine connectivity.
The adapter's support for Tagged Command Queuing allows multiple I/O commands to be processed in any order, improving overall performance of read and write requests to storage devices.
Comprehensive Management
ATTO's ConfigTool™ utility is included with the FC-161P, providing an intuitive graphical interface for management, monitoring, and configuration of the adapter.
This powerful software enables administrators to control and optimize adapter settings to meet specific performance requirements for different applications.
The management interface provides detailed performance metrics and diagnostic information, simplifying troubleshooting and ensuring optimal operation of the storage infrastructure.
Broad Operating System Support
The Celerity FC-161P offers extensive driver support across multiple operating systems, including Windows, Windows Server, Linux, illumos, VMware, FreeBSD, and macOS.
This broad compatibility ensures seamless integration into heterogeneous computing environments, providing flexibility for organizations with diverse infrastructure requirements.
The comprehensive driver support also facilitates deployment in specialized environments such as media and entertainment, healthcare, and financial services, where specific operating system requirements may exist.
Reliable Performance
The FC-161P is designed to operate reliably in demanding enterprise environments, with an operating temperature range of 0-55°C and humidity tolerance of 10-90% non-condensing.
The adapter's Bus Mastering capability eliminates the need for communicating with the host CPU by transferring data directly between the HBA and system memory, reducing CPU overhead and increasing system bandwidth for other applications.
Advanced algorithms are implemented to provide optimized performance for workgroup applications such as digital content creation, rich content delivery, databases, and server clustering.
Environmental Compliance
The Celerity FC-161P meets RoHS standards for both EU and China requirements, demonstrating ATTO's commitment to environmental responsibility.
With a typical operating power of just 9.6W, the adapter offers an energy-efficient solution for organizations looking to minimize power consumption in their data centers.
The product comes with a standard 3-year warranty, with extended warranty plans available for purchase, providing peace of mind and investment protection.
