ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T for Ethernet Connectivity - RJ45 SFPs included 10Gb Ethernet to 12Gb SAS Intelligent Bridge Part# XCET-8100-TN0

ATTO XstreamCORE ET 8100T Bridge adds Ethernet connectivity to SAS Tape storage to provide remote connectivity, sharing and common services with minimal added latency.

Extend SAS Tape Drive Connectivity Beyond the Rack

Over the last decade, IT complexity has grown exponentially as data growthcontinues to strain critical infrastructure resources. The development of cloudplatforms, big data, data analytics, and distributed computing has led to anincrease in the number and scale of data center deployments. Extendingconnectivity to SAS tape beyond the rack has always been challenging as it islimited by the SAS interface.

Data protection and backup has moved to a decentralized model which hasresulted in the creation of silos across multiple locations. This could be within thesame data center, across a campus or even at edge computing locations. ATTOXstreamCORE ET 8100T helps bridge this gap by elevating common control forbackup and archive workflows across an Ethernet network. Additionally, File andObject Storage are growing at a much faster rate than block storage. Ethernet isbetter suited to handling this unstructured data while providing a lower cost ofimplementation compared to Fibre Channel tape connectivity.

Power Backup & Archive with Unmatched Simplicity and Efficiency

ATTO XstreamCORE ET 8100T is a simple, purpose-built, and cost-effectiveintelligent bridging solution allowing businesses and enterprises to deploysecured and shared access to tape storage over a 10Gb Ethernet iSCSI network.Powered by a custom chipset and ATTO engineered software, 8100T sets a newstandard for tape library connectivity. 8100T allows up to eight iSCSI host loginsto connect up to four SAS tape drives with an aggregate throughput of up to2000 MBps, maximizing drive shareability.

XstreamCORE 8100T features patented ATTO SpeedWrite technology to ensurethat tape drives fully utilize the available bandwidth. The bridge is equippedwith a dedicated management interface that uses a secure CLI or a user-friendlyweb-based tool for ease of setup and diagnostics. XstreamCORE 8100T offersa secure digital pathway to integrate data resilience for protecting sensitivebusiness applications and customer data, ensuring workplace collaboration andproductivity, and fueling growth.

Technical Features:

• Connects up to 4 SAS TapeDrives using a x4 12Gb mini-SAS HD connector
• Shares SAS Tape Drivesover iSCSI Ethernet
• iSCSI Network Protocol enablesEthernet connectivity andmaximizes interoperability
• ATTO Distributed SoftwareArchitecture (ADSA) providesan integrated and multitaskingenvironment that self optimizesto changing I/O patternswhile prioritizing data trafficand minimizing latency
• ATTO Advanced Data Streamingprovides controlled accelerationfor smooth data streaming
• ATTO SpeedWrite technologyimproves SAS tape writeperformance up to 20%
• Simplified and automatic SASLUN mapping and management
• LTFS support for simplified accessto data stored on LTO Ultrium
• Dedicated Ethernet managementport allows easy remoteconfiguration and addsdiagnostics capabilities

ATTO Data Acceleration

ATTO Distributed SoftwareArchitecture (ADSA) is the heartof the XstreamCORE 8100T.

A self-optimizing real-timeoperating system designedspecifically for embedded hardware,ADSA acts as a translator of oneprotocol to another and integratesadvanced protocol, error handlingand application requirements intoan existing infrastructure. The on-board data acceleration technologyfeatures multiple parallel I/O engineswith end-end I/O processingand intelligent management ofhardware buffer allocation.

The ATTO Distributed SoftwareSystem provides a cooperative,multi-tasking environmentcomplete with a core set of servicesfor our product applications.ADSA architecture is designed tomaximize workflow productivityand enhance control overbackup and archive platforms.

Designed for Sustainability

Sharing libraries typically requirescostly Fibre Channel infrastructure,or the use of servers in frontof the tape libraries to enableEthernet connectivity. Serversrequire more power and cooling,expensive licenses, maintenance,and take up rack space.ATTO XstreamCORE ET 8100Tintelligent bridges provide a simple,low-maintenance connectivityoption. Each bridge consumesless than 30 Watts and can easilybe embedded in a tape libraryusing standard connections,or a small external chassis canbe installed in a standard datacenter 1U rack. This results inlower power budget requirementsfor the infrastructure design.
