The ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T is an intelligent storage protocol bridge engineered to connect up to four SAS tape drives directly to a 10Gb Ethernet iSCSI network.
This device enables organizations to disaggregate tape storage from server hardware, streamlining backup and archival workflows while reducing infrastructure complexity and cost.
By leveraging ATTO’s advanced hardware acceleration and distributed software architecture, the 8100T delivers high throughput, low latency, and robust reliability for demanding enterprise environments.
The 8100T allows multiple hosts to access SAS tape drives over standard Ethernet infrastructure, eliminating the need for dedicated Fibre Channel networks or intermediary servers.
This approach reduces power, cooling, and rack space requirements, while simplifying management and scaling of tape resources.
ATTO’s proprietary Distributed Software Architecture (ADSA) and onboard hardware acceleration engines ensure consistently high throughput and minimal latency.
The bridge supports up to 2,000 MB/s aggregate throughput and less than 2 microseconds of added latency, making it suitable for high-volume backup and archive operations.
The XstreamCORE 8100T can be deployed as a standalone external device or embedded within a tape library, offering flexibility for both small and large-scale tape environments.
Multiple bridges can be combined to support expanded tape drive deployments as organizational needs grow.
The device features a web-based command line interface (CLI) for configuration and management, along with LED indicators and temperature monitoring for operational assurance.
It is operating system independent and requires only an iSCSI initiator for host connectivity.
The 8100T is TAA compliant and meets a wide range of international safety and EMC standards, ensuring suitability for regulated and mission-critical environments.
It is backed by a three-year limited warranty and designed for long-term reliability with battery-free operation.
This bridge is ideal for organizations seeking to modernize tape backup and archival workflows, enable remote or cloud-based tape access, or consolidate tape resources across multiple servers or locations.
It is particularly well-suited for environments with growing data volumes and the need for cost-effective, scalable, and resilient data protection solutions.
