The ATTO FastFrame N322 is a high-performance dual-port 25 Gigabit Ethernet SmartNIC designed to address the demanding connectivity requirements of modern data centers and media-intensive environments.
This PCIe 3.0 x8 network adapter features dual SFP28 ports capable of delivering up to 25Gb/s per port, providing exceptional bandwidth for data-intensive applications.
With latency as low as 1μs, the FastFrame N322 ensures near-instantaneous data transfer, making it ideal for time-sensitive workloads where every microsecond counts.
Versatile Data Center Deployment
The ATTO FastFrame N322 is engineered to function seamlessly across the entire data center ecosystem, from core infrastructure to edge deployments.
Its low-profile form factor allows for installation in space-constrained servers and workstations without compromising performance.
The adapter supports both 10GbE and 25GbE speeds, providing backward compatibility with existing 10GbE infrastructure while enabling a clear upgrade path to higher bandwidth capabilities.
Advanced Offload Capabilities
The N322 incorporates sophisticated CPU offloading technologies for transport operations, significantly reducing host system overhead.
RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) support enables direct memory access between systems without CPU intervention, dramatically improving application performance for clustered environments.
TCP/UDP/IP stateless offloads further enhance efficiency by handling network processing tasks directly on the adapter rather than consuming valuable host resources.
Media and Entertainment Applications
The FastFrame N322 is particularly well-suited for media and entertainment workflows that demand consistent high-bandwidth connections.
Video post-production environments benefit from the adapter's ability to handle multiple simultaneous 4K or 8K video streams without frame drops or latency issues.
Digital imaging and finishing workflows experience smoother operation with faster file transfers and reduced wait times between processing steps.
IT and Data Analytics Optimization
For IT applications such as data analytics and hyperconverged infrastructure, the N322 provides the throughput necessary to eliminate network bottlenecks.
Database operations see improved response times with the adapter's low-latency design and efficient data handling capabilities.
Virtualized environments benefit from the adapter's ability to maintain consistent performance even when serving multiple virtual machines with demanding workloads.
Energy Efficiency
The FastFrame N322 incorporates Energy Efficient Ethernet technology to reduce power consumption during periods of lower network activity.
This intelligent power management helps organizations meet sustainability goals while reducing operational costs in large-scale deployments.
The adapter's efficient design generates less heat, potentially reducing cooling requirements in dense server environments.
Management and Monitoring
System administrators can easily monitor the FastFrame N322 through industry-standard protocols including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) statistical counters provide detailed insights into adapter performance and network traffic patterns.
These comprehensive management tools integrate seamlessly with existing network monitoring infrastructure, simplifying administration in complex environments.
