ATTO Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) Technology
Latency Management Technology for the Highest Consistent Performance

Latency management technology is built into ATTO host bus adapters (HBAs) and RAID hardware. Advanced Data Streaming manages latency to provide controlled acceleration for smooth data streaming to maintain the highest consistent performance. ADS ensures best-in-industry data transfers for high-bandwidth applications, which means better performance for end-users.

• Bus Mastering eliminates the need for communicating with the host CPU by transferring data directly between the ATTO host adapter and system memory. This relieves the CPU from the burden of managing protocol activities and increases system bandwidth for other applications.
• Tagged Command Queuing allows for multiple I/O commands to be processed in any order, improving overall performance of read and write requests to hard drives.
• Disconnect/Reconnect increases bus performance by eliminating wait time between an ATTO host adapter and other devices. This enables dynamic sharing of the bus bandwidth in sophisticated environments.
• Advanced algorithms are implemented to provide optimized performance for workgroup applications such as digital content creation, rich media, prepress and databases.

ATTO's exclusive Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) is a proprietary technology built into ATTO Host Adapters that is designed to manage latency in high-bandwidth work environments. ADS provides controlled acceleration of data transfers by utilizing combination of features to move large amounts of data faster and more efficiently, maintaining the highest consistent performance.

From high I/O transactional applications to large bandwidth real-time streaming, ADS reduces project interruptions by maximizing the number of transactions that can be processed by the CPU, resulting in better overall system performance. ADS Technology is incorporated into ATTO's Celerity Fibre Channel Host Adapters and ExpressSAS SAS/SATA Host and RAID Adapters.
