ATTO FastFrame N424 (2 x Transceiver Included) – Product Overview
The ATTO FastFrame N424 is a 25Gb FastFrame 4 quad‑port Ethernet SmartNIC intended for environments that require low latency and deterministic throughput. Supplied with SFP28 module(s), the card upgrades standard in‑box 10Gb Ethernet to 25GbE connectivity and is positioned for use in AI workflows, GPU‑accelerated systems and core Ethernet infrastructure.
Designed to integrate with ATTO’s Performance Ethernet ecosystem, the N424 benefits from tuned drivers and ATTO360 networking software to simplify setup, manage latency and apply hardware offloads that reduce CPU and memory load during heavy data transfers.
Connectivity And Throughput
The N424 offers quad 25GbE ports with SFP28 module(s) included and supports 10/25GbE operation. The device is specified to provide up to 25Gb/s throughput per port, enabling higher bandwidth links for latency‑sensitive workflows.
PCIe Interface And Form Factor
Mechanically and electrically the card implements a x16 PCIe 4.0 connection and ships in a low‑profile form factor, allowing installation in compact systems that accept low‑profile expansion cards while maximising host bus bandwidth.
Offloads And Protocol Support
The SmartNIC supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet and a range of hardware offloads including TCP/UDP/IP stateless offloads and built‑in hardware offloads. NVMe over Fabrics target offload is noted as available on 100Gb models in the FastFrame family.
Software, Management And Optimization
FastFrame NICs are supported by ATTO drivers and ATTO360 Networking software, which provides one‑click setup, centralized control and proactive problem solving. ATTO360 includes an installer that loads drivers, the management software and dependencies needed to run RDMA.
ExpertAI And Troubleshooting
ATTO360 includes ExpertAI, a built‑in advisor that provides real‑time and historical metrics, identifies bottlenecks and suggests solutions. The ecosystem is designed to reduce setup time and accelerate troubleshooting.
Performance Characteristics
ATTO positions FastFrame NICs to outperform commodity hardware; FastFrame NICs are claimed to outperform such hardware by up to 30% or more when used with ATTO drivers and ATTO360 Networking software. Fourth‑generation FastFrame products support line speeds up to 100GbE and report latency as low as 1μs for appropriate models.
Thermal Options And Workstation Variants
FastFrame AIR is described as a workstation‑optimised family with active cooling and advanced thermal engineering including custom heat‑baffling, a precision fan/blower assembly and optimized airflow channels to sustain throughput where airflow is limited.
Compliance, Warranty And Inclusion Notes
The product listing specifies RoHS compliance and a 3 year standard product warranty. Shop documentation for the FastFrame family also notes that some finished goods (for example N412 SKUs) include a low profile bracket with the adapter.
