1 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
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 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.
