ATTO XstreamCORE 8100 Dual-Port 10Gb Ethernet to 4-port 12Gb SAS intelligent Bridge LC SFP+

10Gb Ethernet to 12Gb/s SAS intelligent Bridge. Easily connect and share SAS Tape drives via iSCSI Ethernet.

Extend SAS Tape Drive Connectivity Beyond the Rack
Over the last decade, IT complexity has grown exponentially as data growth continues to strain critical infrastructure resources. The development of cloud platforms, big data, data analytics, and distributed computing has led to an increase in the number and scale of data centre deployments. Extending connectivity to SAS tape beyond the rack has always been challenging as it is limited by the SAS interface.

Data protection and backup has moved to a decentralised model which has resulted in the creation of silos across multiple locations. This could be within the same data centre, across a campus or even at edge computing locations. ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T helps bridge this gap by elevating common control for backup and archive workflows across an Ethernet network. Additionally, File and Object Storage are growing at a much faster rate than block storage. Ethernet is better suited to handling this unstructured data while providing a lower cost of implementation compared to Fibre Channel tape connectivity.

Power Backup & Archive with Unmatched Simplicity and Efficiency
ATTO XstreamCORE 8100T is a simple, purpose built, and cost-effective intelligent bridging solution allowing businesses and enterprises to deploy secured and shared access to tape storage over a 10Gb Ethernet iSCSI network. Powered by a custom chipset and ATTO engineered software, 8100T sets a new standard for tape library connectivity. 8100T allows up to eight iSCSI host logins to connect up to four SAS tape drives with an aggregate throughput of up to 2000 MBps, maximising drive share ability.

XstreamCORE 8100T features patented ATTO SpeedWrite technology to ensure that tape drives fully utilise the available bandwidth. The bridge is equipped with a dedicated management interface that uses a secure CLI or a user-friendly web-based tool for ease of setup and diagnostics. XstreamCORE 8100T offers a secure digital pathway to integrate data resilience for protecting sensitive business applications and customer data, ensuring workplace collaboration and productivity, and fuelling growth.
