FastStream Storage Controllers were 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. 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 embedded series was designed as a microATX RAID controller which integrates with SAS or SATA storage to provide instant RAID protection and advanced intelligence features for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures including high-definition video and digital film post-production, color grading, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, audio post, email compliance, data warehousing, data mining and transaction based environments.

ATTO FastStream Embedded Controllers support up to 32 internal disk drives. Support for up to 128 drives is available via an optional external (x4) mini-SAS connector. 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.
