ATTO Technology Xstream CORE ET 8200 40Gb/s Ethernet to SAS Accelerated Storage Controller with Tape Support

Find the perfect balance of performance and efficiency with the advanced Xstream CORE ET 8200 40Gb/s Ethernet to SAS Accelerated Storage Controller with Tape Support. This high-performance device is engineered to deliver up to 1.1M 4K IOPS and 6GB/s throughput per bridge, adding only 2 microseconds of latency, making it an ideal solution for high-demand data centers and computing environments.

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

This reliable storage controller can support up to 960 SAS SSD/HDD devices behind a pair of bridges, allowing you to better manage, monitor, and utilize your storage with the current and future features built into XstreamCORE. The ATTO XstreamCORE intelligent bridges can be tuned for various applications that require common features and services for storage.

The Xstream CORE ET 8200 is more than just a storage controller. It acts as an external adapter, adding a common set of services and features to SSD- and HDD-based JBOD, JBOF, or RAID storage and SAS tape devices. It then remotely shares this storage over long or short distances using high-speed Ethernet technology.

This durable device is engineered to provide deterministic latency, separating data traffic from services to maintain a consistent level of latency and performance. The ATTO xCORE acceleration processor handles the majority of I/O operations in a hardware processing pipeline without software intervention, ensuring optimal performance.

The Xstream CORE ET 8200 also features ATTO xCORE data acceleration technology with multiple parallel I/0 acceleration engines, hardware buffer allocation management, and real-time performance and latency analytics. This ensures performance-critical commands and all reads/writes are accelerated in Hardware, eliminating bottlenecks and maximizing large block transfer sizes from Ethernet to SAS/SATA devices for optimal streaming performance.

With the ATTO eCORE offload processor for management and storage services, you get command processing for management services, storage services, and integration with third-party IP. This efficient tool virtualizes services and features, providing common services such as multi-initiator access, data mover, reservations, and vendor-specific commands.

The Xstream CORE ET 8200 is customizable for OEMs, with hardware configuration options that allow for unique board ID to define initialization and characteristics of the OEM product. It incorporates advanced ASIC, firmware, and interface technologies that enable users to fine-tune ATTO controllers for specific applications.

Technical features include two 40 GbE ports connected to four X4 12Gb mini-SAS connectors, integration with up to 960 devices per controller, and the use of iSER (iSCSI extensions for RDMA) for deterministic latency over Ethernet. ATTO's hardware accelerated iSCS maximizes interoperability, and ATTO SpeedWrite technology improves SAS tape write performance up to 20%.

In conclusion, the Xstream CORE ET 8200 40Gb/s Ethernet to SAS Accelerated Storage Controller with Tape Support offers a versatile, high-performance solution for your data storage needs. It's not just a storage controller, it's a comprehensive solution for efficient, reliable, and high-speed data management.
