Interoperability Between BiTMICRO and ATTO Products Successfully Tested

FREMONT, Calif., August 4, 2009 — BiTMICRO Networks, a pioneer in intelligent flash solid-state drive solutions, and ATTO Technology, Inc. announces the product interoperability completion of ATTO Celerity FC-42ES 4Gb Fibre Channel Dual Port PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with BiTMICRO's E-Disk^® Altima™ Fibre Channel solid state drive (SSD).

Interoperability is always a concern for end users especially in the high end segments because of the possibility that some components within the system might not be compatible with devices that come from different manufacturers. And coupled with the high demand for streaming multimedia content and the escalating amount of data being required by enterprises, network storage performance is constantly being pushed to the limit.

BiTMICRO Networks’ answer to these challenges is the E-Disk^® Altima™ Fibre Channel drive. When used in conjunction with the ATTO Celerity FC-42ES HBA, the E-Disk^® Altima™ Fibre Channel drive can be seamlessly integrated into the SAN/NAS in varying configurations and applications. This assures IT administrators of a tested and ready-to-use solution.

"This latest interoperability certification is another successful product collaboration between ATTO Technology and BiTMICRO Networks,” said Rudy Bruce, Executive Vice President for Sales and Marketing of BiTMICRO Networks. "The E-Disk^® Altima™ Fibre Channel drive and ATTO’s Celerity HBA is a marriage of performance and flexibility, and their interoperability is the cream of the cake,” he further stressed.

ATTO host adapters optimize the link between hardware and software, and are designed to maximize the potential of the storage device. The ATTO Celerity FC-42ES 4Gb Fibre Channel Dual Port, PCIe Host Adapter is equipped with Advanced Data Streaming™ Technology, a combination of features that provide controlled acceleration of large and small blocks of data, providing faster and more efficient data transfers between the storage device and the computer system.

"This certification from BiTMICRO is the latest in our ongoing commitment to developing interoperable storage-infrastructure components,” states ATTO Director of Products, Tom Kolniak. "ATTO continuously strives to take third-party products such as BiTMICRO’s solid state storage to new heights of performance,” he added.
