Advanced Architecture
At the heart of the Celerity FC-322P is ATTO's multi-core Fibre Channel ASIC and optimized driver stack, engineered to deliver maximum data throughput with minimal latency.
The adapter's Fast Path architecture significantly reduces latency compared to competing products, making it ideal for time-sensitive applications.
Silicon Root of Trust technology provides hardware-level security by authenticating firmware, protecting against unauthorized modifications and ensuring the integrity of your storage infrastructure.
Versatile Connectivity
The FC-322P installs into a standard x8 PCIe 4.0 slot while maintaining backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 systems.
Each adapter includes two 32Gb/s LC SFP+ optical transceivers for multimode fiber connections, eliminating the need for separate purchases.
Backward compatibility with 16Gb/s and 8Gb/s Fibre Channel environments ensures seamless integration with existing infrastructure while providing a clear upgrade path.
Enterprise-Class Features
Support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) allows a single physical port to appear as multiple virtual ports, enabling more efficient resource utilization in virtualized environments.
Virtual Fabric support provides the ability to partition a single physical connection into multiple logical connections, enhancing flexibility in complex storage architectures.
Trunking capabilities (Port Aggregation) with Brocade switches allow multiple FC ports to function as a single logical connection, increasing bandwidth and providing automatic load balancing.
Broad Platform Support
The Celerity FC-322P features comprehensive driver support for major operating systems including Windows, Windows Server, Linux, macOS, VMware, FreeBSD, and illumos.
This extensive compatibility ensures the adapter can be deployed across diverse IT environments without concerns about platform limitations.
ATTO's three decades of experience developing reliable storage connectivity solutions is reflected in the robust driver implementation and extensive interoperability testing.
Ideal Use Cases
The FC-322P is particularly well-suited for data-intensive applications such as high-performance computing, video editing, and large-scale virtualization.
Original equipment manufacturers and system integrators can leverage the adapter's capabilities to design state-of-the-art data infrastructures that meet the demands of modern workloads.
Enterprise storage environments requiring high throughput, low latency, and rock-solid reliability will benefit significantly from the advanced features of this host bus adapter.
