iSCSI Bridge

High-performance iSCSI-to-SCSI

bridge with support for next-generation

storage media

Internet SCSI technology (iSCSI) is one of today’s
fastest growing storage networking protocols.
iSCSI utilizes Ethernet networks to allow users to
reap the benefits of networked storage. However,
this presents a problem for organizations interested
in migrating to iSCSI but have already invested
thousands of dollars in SCSI-based storage. ATTO
iPBridges help resolve this issue by offering iSCSI
connectivity to native SCSI devices, extending the
useful life of SCSI devices while eliminating the
need to purchase costly new storage.

The ATTO iPBridge 2600C is the premier iSCSI-to-
SCSI bridge available on the market today, thanks
to industry-leading support for Ultra320 SCSI. The
iPBridge 2600 is available in an industry-standard
4U cPCI embedded form factor.

All iPBridges offer additional value through ATTO-
designed technologies. Performance of the bridge
is optimized through the utilization of ATTO’s
SpeedWrite feature, which efficiently queues out-
standing write commands to enhance the through-
put of the bridge. Features such as e-mail
notification of errors and SNMP support serve to
reduce downtime and increase productivity. The
ever-increasing security concerns of today are ad-
dressed through support for both Virtual LANs
(VLANs) and Access Control Lists (ACLs.) Initial
installation and configuration is a painless task due
to the ExpressWizard configuration assistant,
which helps optimize the bridge for specific applica-
tion needs by asking a series of basic questions.
Management of the bridge is simplified with Ex-
pressNAV, ATTO’s web-based management GUI
which provides an easy interface to configure,
manage and diagnose ATTO iPBridges.

With a high performance architecture utilizing
Gigabit Ethernet and Ultra320 SCSI, the iPBridge
2600C is the industry’s first choice for adding high-
performance iSCSI connectivity to SCSI storage.
