ATTO iPBridgeTM 2500C/R/D
iSCSI-to-SCSI Bridge with Connectivity to NDMP and iSCSI Applications
The ATTO iPBridgeTM 2500C/R/D offers organizations an affordable opportunity to transform SCSI storage devices into network-enabled addressable devices.
The iPBridge 2500C/R/D is a triple-channel iSCSI-to-SCSI bridge offering scalable solutions for iSCSI and NDMP networks. The ATTO iPBridge combines proven ATTO SCSI hardware and software technology with Gigabit Ethernet, one of the world's most widely accepted means of transporting data.
The 2500C/R/D supports three GbE ports bridged to two Ultra160 SCSI ports. Available in a board-level product for embedding into OEM storage devices or in a rack mount/ desktop enclosure for use with legacy devices, the ATTO iPBridge 2500C/R/D supports both iSCSI and NDMP requirements for NAS and SANs in a single hardware solution.
Benefits
The ATTO iPBridge 2500C/R/D provides:
- Investment protection for IT managers who desire to network their existing
 SCSI products together
- Increased utilization and return on investment of existing storage devices
making them available to more users over a standard Ethernet network
- Uses existing IT expertise - Improved time to implement by using known technologies
- Full application support
- Support for iSCSI protocol standards v1.0
- Improves storage network distances through Ethernet infrastructure access
using the iSCSI protocol
- Support for NDMP v4.0 backup applications
- NDMP is a cooperative open standard initiative that allows faster backups,
lowers administrative costs, provides interoperability, reduces complexity
and allows
file servers to be backup ready"
- New Hardware Architecture
- Advanced Diagnostics designed to significantly enhance field support
- High performance design to support next-generation storage media,
which improves product longevity
- Configuration, management and monitoring
- ExpressNAV
- web-based monitoring and management tool for freedom
of configuration
- RS232 (via RJ-11 interface)
- Independent Ethernet ports
- Consistent form factor with ATTO-based and similar Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges
- Embedded board, designed for direct integration into custom OEM configurations
- Compact
desktop unit; 16.725" Wide by 10.0" Long by 1.72"
