Overview:

FastFrame NS12 dual-port SFP+ Ethernet Adapter conserves PCI slots for more flexible system design, while drawing up to 60% less power than competing solutions. A lower power rating means lower energy costs, lower data center maintenance fees, and fewer worries about heat dissipation. This high performance adapter includes high-quality pluggable optical SFP+ tranceivers - a hidden cost with some competitor cards - and support for direct attach copper cables.

FastFrame NS12 dual-port SFP+ Ethernet Adapters provide opportunities for link aggregation for additional available bandwidth, or for link failover.

In addition to broad support for Windows and Linux server and desktop operating systems, ATTO is a leader in high performance I/O connectivity for macOS environments. ATTO also offers Xtend SAN, an iSCSI initiator for macOS, for a complete solution.

Flexible Connectivity Solutions

FastFrame NICs provide the most flexible and scalable connectivity for today's data center environments. By leveraging data center bridging and support for software iSCI initiators, FastFrame network adapters offer the ability to support, both local and storage area networks. With broad operating system support NS14, NS12, and NS11 NICs offer optimized connectivity for high-bandwidth environments.

Performance Engineered

FastFrame cards, with support for link aggregation and failover, offer redundancy and high availability for critical network applications. FastFrame NICs provide industry-leading throughput and latency management with minimal CPU utilization and power consumption. With 10Gb data transfer rates and multiple offloads (IPsec, TCP, IPv4, UDP), FastFrame adapters are the premier connectivity choice for bandwidth-intensive applications such as data backup and restoration, clustered computing, IP content delivery, medical imaging and video rendering. With multi-core processors driving the need for higher bandwidth, FastFrame 10GbE network adapters deliver superior throughput to meet that need.

Advanced Network Management

FastFrame 10GbE NICs provide a common foundation for both Ethernet and storage networks. FastFrame Ethernet adapters leverage unified network investments and eliminate the need for multiple adapters and switches, while reducing power and cooling expenses. By providing multiprotocol support and leveraging 10Gb converged enhanced Ethernet links, FastFrame NICs dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of a data center's cabling infrastructure.

Applications

FastFrame 10GbE NICs combine the unparalleled performance of 10 Gb Ethernet, the lossless benefits of enhanced Ethernet, and robustness of software iSCSI initiators to meet the performance and economic needs of today's growing data centers. The FastFrame NS14, NS12 and NS11 are ideal for applications that require low latency, high-bandwidth data transfers such as data back-up and restoration, video-on-demand and video streaming, medical imaging, and clustered databases.

Design:

Powerful solution. Powerful design.

Based on industry-standard Ethernet technology, ATTO FastFrame NICs are available in single, dual, and quad-port configurations.

Connectivity across campusConnectivity across campus

ATTO FastFrame NICs make it possible to setup virtual networks across campus or the data center. Using optical fiber and a transceiver (SFP+), Ethernet packets can now travel up to 400m without sacrificing speed or data quality.

Flexible connectivity

ATTO FastFrame NICs provide the most flexible and scalable connectivity for today's data center environments. By leveraging data center bridging and support for software iSCSI initiators, FastFrame network adapters offer the ability to support both local and storage area networks.

Meet the demands of 6K Today.

Migrate to higher performance levels with FastFrame 40GbE and 10GbE NICs. FastFrame is used for demanding applications using streaming media like post production and video/sound editing, and other rich media and data intensive applications.

Performance:

RoCEData transfers just got faster.

ATTO 40GbE NICs feature industry-leading latency management with RoCE. It has the benefit of eliminating the intermediate step of utilizing the CPU to transfer data and enabling near line-rate performance.

The smoothest and most reliable data transfers

Sometimes it is not just how fast you move the data, but how well you can manage the flow of that data to reduce network collisions. With distinctive latency-management features such as ATTO Advanced Data Streaming (ADS), FastFrame adapters deliver better overall performance across all of your applications while reducing your CPU utilization significantly.

Advanced Data Streaming (ADS)

Do more. Save more.

ATTO FastFrame NICs are the lowest energy consuming cards on the market and provide a higher ROI by transferring more data per dollar spent on power than the competition. One 40GbE NIC can do the same amount of work as four 10GbE cards with less power consumption and overhead.

Low Power Consumption
