Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) Technology
ADS latency management technology is built into every ATTO host bus adapter (HBA) and RAID
controller, providing the fastest, most consistent time-to-data, delivering the best-in-industry
aggregate bandwidth and predictable data transfers for high performance applications.
ATTO’s heritage of pioneering solid-state storage technology means that all
products are engineered to manage latency in real-time environments:
• Higher application performance = better productivity
• Better transaction processing = faster time to revenue & critical business decisions
• Ability to handle larger workloads & client counts
"ATTO is our go-to company for connectivity. We rely on the performance and reliability
ATTO products provide, and use their products in all of our solutions.”
-James McKenna, Vice-President, Marketing & Pre Sales, Facilis Technology, Inc.

Adaptive Path Optimization Technology
Intelligently sense multiple paths to drives, automatically increasing
I/O for up to a 70% performance improvement as well as eliminate
single points of failure in your storage connections.
CacheAssure™
Uses supercap technology to protect cached data for up to 10
years. Manages data during power up and power down. Eliminates
battery-related maintenance, reducing IT costs.
Drive Map Director™
ATTO’s Drive Map Director™ technology provides a logical, static topology and enables
login parameters, access management and security for racks of SAS/SATA storage during
conguration or maintenance, reducing additional administration costs and resources.
DriveAssure™
DriveAssure™ repairs drives to prevent premature drive failures and slow downs to
maximize system uptime. Also ensures 100% throughput during data rebuilds.
DVRAID™
ATTO’s DVRAID™ technology is optimized for digital content creation
environments which require protection in the event of a disk failure
without the performance penalty traditionally seen with parity RAID.
intelligent Bridging Architecture™
ATTO’s intelligent Bridging Architecture™ technology combines
powerful hardware with an ecient software data engine to deliver
the exibility of “anything-to-anything” connectivity.
MultiPath Director™
A proprietary technology available on ATTO’s Fibre Channel host bus adapters and
Desklink devices that enables Linux®, Mac® and Windows® workstations and servers
to connect directly to enterprise-class storage with redundant controllers, providing
failover and load balancing capabilities across multiple paths to the storage.
Optimized Device-Direct Transfer
ATTO’s patented technology pre-processes data and organizes
command strings allowing for accelerated movement of data directly
between storage devices in a SAN without the need for a server.
Pure Signal Integrity
ATTO products, including cables, are designed to minimize jitter, crosstalk, reections
and power supply noise, preventing data loss and maximizing data transfers.
Smooth Data Optimization™
Proprietary technology in ATTO's Power Center Software that accelerates
transfer of data and manages latency across multiple drives.
SpeedWrite
SpeedWrite eciently queues outstanding write commands
to enhance the throughput of data transfers.
Virtual Device Manager
Virtualizes devices in one protocol so they can be managed
by a controller of a dierent protocol.
Virtual Drive Response (VDR)
Virtual Drive Response (VDR) technology enables devices to queue
and execute commands on behalf of busy or unresponsive tape
storage, reducing the number of failed or incomplete backups.
