ATTO Technology Powers New actidata T-Pontis iSCSI Bridges

Embedded ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T intelligent bridge technology provides 10GbE to 12Gb SAS connectivity to LTO Tape Drives and Libraries

AMHERST, NY, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader in network and storage connectivity solutions, announced its 8100T intelligent bridge was selected by actidata Storage Systems GmbH, a provider of data storage, backup, and archiving solutions, to power their new actidata T-Pontis^® iSCSI Bridge products.

The ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T is an accelerated intelligent bridging device that shares up to four SAS tape drives over a 10Gb iSCSI Ethernet network. A custom chipset runs ATTO Distributed Software Architecture (ADSA), a self-optimizing real-time operating system designed specifically for embedded hardware. XstreamCORE 8100T is available as a standalone product or can be embedded into customer platforms such as actidata’s T-Pontis iSCSI Bridge.

"Integrating ATTO's XstreamCORE 8100T into our T-Pontis product line has allowed us to offer scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for our customers' data archiving and backup needs,” said Albrecht Hestermann, Head of Sales and Marketing at actidata. "ATTO's technology has been a valuable asset in developing our new T-Pontis iSCSI Bridges. Their collaboration has been instrumental in bringing this innovative solution to market."

actidata T-Pontis 1U-Bi is a dual 10Gb Ethernet to 12Gb SAS iSCSI bridge supporting LTO tape libraries equipped with up to four LTO tape drives served from a dedicated backup and archive server or virtual out of a virtual machine (VM). Thanks to iSCSI, the actidata T-Pontis iSCSI Bridge operates independently from central operating systems and is controlled via a server-based installed iSCSI initiator.

actidata T-Pontis 1U-LTO is a dual 10GbE iSCSI bridge with built-in LTO tape drive (1x LTO-8 or 1x LTO-9). It is ideal for installing in a remote location operated via existing Ethernet topologies, controlled by a centralized server or VMs. Each unit is deployed in a compact and robust 1U rackmount chassis with a 240W power supply and features a front display that shows actual IPs, environmental temperature, and humidity. Included 10Gb SFP+ transceivers and rackmount rails make the products ready out of the box.

"We are thrilled to see our XstreamCORE technology driving actidata's innovative T-Pontis iSCSI Bridges,” said Timothy J. Klein, president and CEO, ATTO Technology. "It's been a great partnership, and we're excited about the future of this product."

Whether embedded in actidata’s T-Pontis product line or standalone, the ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T intelligent bridge streamlines backup and recovery processes by overcoming the limitations of a pure SAS architecture. ATTO XstreamCORE intelligent bridges can be tuned for various applications that require common features and services for storage. Contact ATTO to discuss development or co-development of services and features to tightly integrate with your solution. The embedded form factor is available for qualified customers only.
