The ATTO FastFrame N322 is a dual-port 25GbE SmartNIC that delivers exceptional performance and reliability for today's demanding data center environments.
This network adapter is part of ATTO's FastFrame 3 Ethernet connectivity product line, engineered to provide unmatched performance with latency as low as 1μs, making it suitable for deployment anywhere from the core to the edges of your data center infrastructure.
With its PCIe 3.0 x8 interface and dual SFP28 ports, the N322 offers a maximum transfer rate of 25GB/s, providing the bandwidth needed for data-intensive applications while maintaining backward compatibility with 10GbE networks.
Advanced Performance Architecture
The FastFrame N322 features ATTO's Performance Ethernet™ technology, which goes beyond traditional Ethernet limitations to address the evolving demands of high-performance computing.
With 1μs MPI ping latency via RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), the N322 ensures guaranteed bandwidth and low-latency services critical for time-sensitive applications.
The adapter's support for jumbo frames up to 9K further enhances throughput for large data transfers, optimizing performance for modern workloads.
CPU Offloading Capabilities
One of the key advantages of the FastFrame N322 is its comprehensive CPU offloading features, which significantly reduce host system overhead.
The adapter supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet, allowing direct memory access between systems without CPU intervention.
Additional TCP/UDP/IP stateless offloads further enhance system efficiency, freeing up valuable CPU resources for application processing rather than network management tasks.
Media & Entertainment Applications
The FastFrame N322 is particularly well-suited for media and entertainment workflows, including video post-production, finishing, and imaging.
Its congestion control capabilities and low latency ensure smooth data transfer for bandwidth-intensive media files, preventing bottlenecks during collaborative editing sessions.
The adapter's high throughput enables faster transfers of large media assets, improving overall workflow efficiency and reducing project completion times.
IT and Data Center Applications
Beyond media workflows, the N322 excels in IT environments such as data analytics and hyperconverged server infrastructures.
The adapter's Energy Efficient Ethernet support helps reduce power consumption in large deployments while maintaining optimal performance.
For data centers requiring reliable, high-speed connectivity between servers, storage systems, and network infrastructure, the N322 provides the performance and reliability needed for mission-critical operations.
Comprehensive Protocol Support
The FastFrame N322 supports a wide range of protocols to ensure compatibility with diverse networking environments.
Support for MPI and Platform MPI enables high-performance computing applications to leverage the adapter's low-latency capabilities.
Additional protocol support includes TCP/UDP, iSER, and SMB RDMA, providing flexibility for various deployment scenarios and application requirements.
Broad Operating System Compatibility
ATTO has ensured the FastFrame N322 works seamlessly across major operating systems, including Windows 11/10, Windows Server 2016/2012, macOS (including Apple silicon M1/M2 devices), and various Linux distributions.
This broad compatibility makes the N322 an ideal choice for heterogeneous environments where different operating systems need to communicate efficiently.
The included drivers are optimized for each platform, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the operating system in use.
