OSS Brings ATTO 32 Gb Fibre Channel to Ion Accelerator Flash Storage Array

Today One Stop Systems introduced an ATTO Technology 32 Gb (gigabit) Fibre Channel option for its Ion Accelerator 5.0 Flash Storage Array product line.

ATTO designs some of the best, most reliable and fastest Fibre Channel host bus adapters on the market today,” said Steve Cooper, CEO of OSS. “In partnership with ATTO, we’re excited to offer Ion Accelerator customers the most advanced interconnect technology for accelerating their HPC applications.”

In addition to 32 Gb Fibre Channel connection, OSS Ion Accelerator 5.0 products support 100 Gb Infiniband and 100 Gb Ethernet high-speed storage interfaces, as well as associated protocols such as SRP, iSCSI and Fibre Channel. These options allow datacenters and other HPC users to take advantage of the 24 GB/s and 5 million input/output operations per second (IOPS) of performance available in a single 153 TB Ion Accelerator 5.0 Flash Storage Array.

ATTO Celerity 32 Gb host bus adapters (HBAs) support 3,200 MB/s per channel data throughput, maximizing the number of virtual machines per physical server and delivering unmatched storage performance. An Ion Accelerator 5.0 system can pack eight 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel ports on two ATTO HBAs into the storage area network (SAN) and eliminate the bottlenecks created by input-output, data intensive applications.

32 Gb Celerity HBAs support up to 2x the number of outstanding commands than competing solutions, allowing sustained maximum performance and enabling users to continue to meet service level agreements. ATTO 32 Gb Fibre Channel HBAs also support longer distances of up to 10 km between servers and storage without degrading throughput.

Upgrading existing OSS Ion Accelerator 5.0 Fibre Channel SANs to 32 Gb Gen 6 is a logical choice for maximizing performance,” said Tim Klein, CEO of ATTO Technology. “Our Fibre Channel products are the go-to storage technology for high-performance enterprise applications and a great match for OSS’ industry-leading Flash Storage arrays.”

Fully redundant, high-availability configurations of the Ion Accelerator using two arrays can support up to sixteen 32 Gb channels in an active-active configuration and can reach storage throughput of over 40 GB/s and 8 million IOPS.
