2400R/D

Fibre Channel Bridge

Advanced Generation

Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Bridge

Featuring Performance Support for

Next-Generation Storage Media

As Storage Area Networks (SANs) increase in
prevalence the need increases to make DAS data
available on the network. The benefits of
networked storage, such as increased availability
and scalability, in addition to a more efficient
utilization of storage, is helping to drive this

transition. This poses a problem for organizations
who have already invested thousands of dollars in
SCSI-based storage, yet wish to migrate to a SAN.
ATTO FibreBridges help address this need by
offering Fibre Channel connectivity to native SCSI
devices, extending the useful life of SCSI storage
while eliminating the need to purchase additional
storage.

The ATTO FibreBridge™ 2400R/D is the premier
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge available on the

market today. Featuring industry-leading support
for both 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel and Ultra320
SCSI, the FibreBridge 2400 provides the

throughput required by today’s advanced next-
generation storage in an industry standard 1U
desktop form factor. The included graphical user
interface (GUI) makes set-up and maintenance a
breeze, while other ATTO-designed features help
boost performance and increase availability.

With a high performance architecture utilizing a
4-Gigabit Fibre Channel interface, the FibreBridge
2400R/D is the industry’s first choice for Tape
Automation OEMs who need to integrate today’s
high-performance LTO-3 and SDLT600 tape
drives.
