Celerity FC-42XS Adapter
The dual-channel Celerity FC-42XS host adapter
provides the highest available throughput for Fibre
Channel applications while protecting technology
investments via backward compatibility with existing
infrastructure.
With speeds of up to 800 MB/sec. per channel, the FC-
42XS is capable of supporting the most intensive data
applications.
To ensure a smooth transition path, the FC-42XS
leverages the existing Celerity FC software hardware
architecture, allowing ATTO to deliver industry-
leading quality and stable software architecture.
