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 2600R/D 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 indus-
try-standard 1U desktop and rackmount form fac-
tor.

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
2600R/D is the industry’s first choice for adding
high-performance iSCSI connectivity to SCSI stor-
age.
