4Gig FC technology
today announced plans to add 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel technology to its Celerity Fibre Channel Storage Adapter line and FibreBridge Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge line. Within the next year, the 4-Gig/sec. Fibre Channel standard is expected to emerge as the dominant SAN technology for next-generation disk and tape storage systems, according to the company and four-gigabit Fibre Channel offers a backward-compatible investment, supporting both 2-Gigabit and 1-Gigabit Fibre Channel. The ATTO FibreBridge 4-Gigabit products will be available in a 4U compact-PCI form factor and in a 1U rack-mountable version. The 4-Gigabit line of Celerity Fibre Channel Storage Adapters will map into the existing single-, dual-, and quad-channel adapters.
