2700R/D

iSCSI Bridge

iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel Bridge

Ideal for connecting Fibre Channel

Storage Networks to an IP SAN

As the amount of data generated by users in or-
ganizations continues to increase, managing tradi-
tional direct-attached methods of storing data be-
comes a more difficult and time-consuming task.

The ATTO iPBridge

TM

2700R/D helps address this

growing issue by providing high-performance
iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel connectivity. Since iSCSI
technology utilizes existing Ethernet infrastructures
already supported natively by many servers, de-
coupling Direct Attached Storage (DAS) from indi-
vidual servers and reaping the benefits of net-
worked storage is a simple task.

All iPBridges offer additional value through ATTO-
designed technologies. Performance of the bridge
is optimized through ATTO’s SpeedWrite feature,
which efficiently queues outstanding write com-
mands to enhance the throughput of the bridge.
Features such as e-mail notification of errors and
SNMP support serve to reduce downtime and in-
crease productivity. Security concerns 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.

The iPBridge 2700 is the leading choice for high-
performance iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel bridging,
thanks to industry-leading support for 4-Gigabit
Fibre Channel. Support for both FC and iSCSI pro-
tocols allows storage devices such as disk drives,
tape drives and libraries, and CD jukeboxes to eas-
ily attach to IP networks.
