The FastStream SC 5500 was designed to address demanding performance requirements while providing reliability and data protection for SAS or SATA JBOD storage. ATTO’s ADS™ and DriveAssure™ latency and disk management technologies ensure optimal performance and minimal latency. Simply connect a FastStream between your workstations or server and JBOD storage to instantly create a RAID protected storage area network without the complexity of traditional Fibre Channel SAN solutions.

FastStream offers flexible options for storage access, connect directly to 2 workstations or servers with ATTO Celerity HBA’s or add an ATTO FibreConnect switch to provide shared storage connectivity to up to 23 workstations. FastStream is compatible with host based Windows, Linux and OS X Multipathing for improved reliability. Utilize Load Balancing to maximize performance across all available Fibre Channel links and Failover to provide a redundant path to storage in the event of an SFP, Cable or other path failure.

ExpressNAV™ Storage Manager is an easy-to-use remote management user interface for configuration, monitoring and management of all storage connected to the FastStream Storage Controller. An integrated setup wizard dramatically simplifies installation and configuration for video, audio, database and IT environments. Sophisticated management features include performance tuning and monitoring, diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities and phone home email notification.

The FastStream SC 5500 is an economical solution that delivers data protection for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures including high-definition video post-production, color grading, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, audio post, email compliance, data warehousing, data mining and transaction based environments. Let ATTO’s expertise in RAID technology and storage connectivity provide you with peace-of-mind RAID protection for all of your critical data. For best-in-class data protection, transfer performance and shared storage, FastStream is your high-performance RAID solution.
