3 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
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 4
GB/sec. (x8 PCIe) full-duplex. 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.
