1 ATTO provides Fibre Channel solutions
The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and
scalability. Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage networking needs such as switching,
backup and data management. Specifically designed to enhance the functionality of third party fabric
hardware and software, Celerity FC products are the industry-leading platform for storage
connectivity.
Celerity FC-44ES Adapter
The Celerity FC-44ES uses PCI Express Interconnect
and 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel to provide 4-Gb FC
speeds of up to 800 MB/sec. per channel. The FC-
44ES supports high-definition video, rich content
databases and other high bandwidth environments.
The FC-44ES uses PCI Express, a serial, high-speed
connection that supports aggregate throughput up to
2.2 GB/sec. (x8 PCIe). With software compatible with
existing PCI and PCI-X products, the FC-44ES uses
the same device drivers as other Celerity FC family
products, simplifying installation and support.
