The ATTO Celerity FC-164P is a quad-channel 16Gb/s Gen 6 Fibre Channel host bus adapter that provides exceptional storage connectivity for the most demanding enterprise environments.
Leveraging PCIe 3.0 technology and ATTO's proprietary Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) technology, this HBA delivers up to 6400 MB/s of total throughput, making it ideal for data-intensive applications and high-performance computing scenarios.
With four independent 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, the FC-164P offers unparalleled bandwidth and flexibility for connecting to SANs, storage arrays, and other Fibre Channel devices.
Advanced Data Streaming Technology
At the heart of the Celerity FC-164P is ATTO's exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) technology, which manages latency for consistent, reliable data transfers.
This proprietary technology controls the acceleration of data transfers to move large amounts of data more efficiently, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring predictable performance.
ADS implements sophisticated algorithms that optimize performance for workgroup applications such as digital content creation, rich media processing, prepress operations, and database management.
Versatile Connectivity Options
The FC-164P features four independent 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, each capable of delivering up to 1600 MB/s of throughput in full-duplex mode.
Auto-negotiation capabilities ensure backward compatibility with 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel devices, providing investment protection while allowing for gradual infrastructure upgrades.
The adapter supports both point-to-point connections and fabric/switch topologies, offering flexibility in network design and implementation.
Enterprise-Class Performance
With a maximum transfer rate of 6400 MB/s, the Celerity FC-164P delivers the bandwidth needed for the most demanding enterprise applications.
The adapter's PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures that data can flow freely between the host system and the Fibre Channel network without bottlenecks.
Bus Mastering technology eliminates the need for host CPU involvement by transferring data directly between the HBA and system memory, freeing up CPU resources for other tasks.
Simplified Management
ATTO's ConfigTool utility provides an intuitive graphical interface for managing, monitoring, and configuring the FC-164P.
Administrators can easily control adapter settings, monitor performance metrics, and troubleshoot connectivity issues from a single console.
The ConfigTool also allows for customization of performance parameters to meet specific application requirements, ensuring optimal operation in diverse environments.
Ideal Application Environments
The Celerity FC-164P excels in physical and virtual datacenters where high-speed, reliable storage connectivity is essential.
Content creation workflows involving high-resolution video, audio, and graphics benefit from the adapter's high throughput and consistent performance.
Backup and disaster recovery operations can leverage the FC-164P's bandwidth to reduce backup windows and ensure timely data protection.
Server clustering applications gain from the adapter's low latency and high reliability, ensuring seamless communication between cluster nodes.
