ATTO Technology XstreamCORE ET 8200 40Gb/s Ethernet 2-Port to SAS Accelerated Storage Controller

After extensive research and development, ATTO presents the XstreamCORE ET 8200, a high-performance, advanced Ethernet 2-Port to SAS Accelerated Storage Controller. This efficient and reliable device is designed to add shared storage benefits to SAS storage, but with the speed of direct attached storage.

The XstreamCORE ET 8200 is optimized for high performance, featuring multiple hardware acceleration engines. It provides industry-leading performance to up to 64 servers, adding less than 2 microseconds of latency. This makes it an ideal solution for high-speed data transfer and low latency requirements.

This durable storage controller supports a wide range of storage devices, including SAS and SATA drives, and is compatible with various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. It achieves up to 1.1M 4K IOPS and 6.0GB/s throughput per controller, with only 2 microseconds of added latency.

The XstreamCORE ET 8200 is equipped with Extended Copy (LID1) data mover commands, offloading up to 5.2GB/s of data from CPU, memory, networks, and storage fabrics. This leaves more resources for VMs and applications running on the host.

With the capacity to build solutions with up to 960 SAS SSD/HDD devices behind a pair of controllers, the XstreamCORE ET 8200 allows better management, monitoring, and utilization of storage. It also features ATTO xCORE data acceleration technology, which accelerates performance-critical commands and all reads/writes in hardware, providing end-to-end data protection.

The ATTO eCORE Offload Processor for Management and Storage Services provides command processing for management services, storage services, and integration with third-party IP. It also offers common services such as multi-initiator access, data mover, reservations, and vendor-specific commands.

The XstreamCORE ET 8200 is a modular building block that allows SysAdmins to reduce resource load while decoupling storage from server resources. It keeps overall storage solutions flexible without locking users into proprietary hardware implementations.

For OEM customization, hardware configuration options allow for a unique board ID to define initialization and characteristics of the OEM product. The XstreamCORE ET 8200 also supports a range of management tools, including ATTO XstreamVIEW system manager GUI, SNIA Swordfish, DTMF Redfish, and local diagnostics supported via Command Line Interface (CLI) via RS-232 and Ethernet.

Incorporating advanced ASIC, firmware, and interface technologies, the XstreamCORE ET 8200 enables users to fine-tune ATTO controllers for specific applications. Its embedded operating system provides an integrated, multitasking environment that self-optimizes to changing I/O patterns for maximum performance.

In conclusion, the XstreamCORE ET 8200 is a versatile, high-performance storage controller that offers a range of features and services for storage, making it an ideal choice for users who require fast and reliable data access.
