ExpressPCI FC 3322

Dual-channel 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel Low Profile Host Adapter

The ATTO ExpressPCI FC 3322 host adapter incorporates dual independent channels of 2-Gigabit performance on a single low-profile Fibre Channel host adapter. With data-transfer rates of up to 400 MB/sec. per channel (full duplex), the product is designed to support data-intensive applications while, at the same time, using only one PCI slot; representing a cost-effective choice for Enterprise applications. ATTO’s exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) Technology ensures maximum speed and efficiency when delivering data to bandwidth-intensive environments such as digital video/audio, backup and imaging.
