FibreBridge 6500R/D
Model No. FCBR-6500-D00

Rackmount/Desktop 8Gb/s FC (2-Port) to 6Gb/s SAS (2-Port) Bridge

The ATTO FibreBridge™ 6500R/D allows your SAS/SATA disk storage to integrate into a Fibre Channel SAN. This provides the benefit of increased availability and scalability while allowing the use of direct attached storage on a shared Fibre Channel network. The FibreBridge 6500 includes Drive Map Director™ a patent pending technology which provides a predictable LUN mapping structure for SAS devices attached to the FibreBridge 6500.

With Fibre Channel disk drives being phased out for SAS drives, The FibreBridge 6500 will allow you to connect newer, faster and higher capacity SAS or SATA drive technology to your existing 2, 4 or 8Gb Fibre Channel SAN. By eliminating the Fibre components in a drive chassis, power consumption is reduced along with costly Fibre components such as SFPs and the quantity of switch ports required by storage.

The FibreBridge enables users to manage storage infrastructures with features not found in direct connect technologies. Advanced read ahead and write cache algorithms in the FibreBridge give users the highest level of performance. Robust error processing enables the FibreBridge to manage disk and communication errors between targets and initiators. Email notification of errors and persistent error and trace logs assist troubleshooting in the field to minimize downtime.
