Why a bridge when I already have a server?

System administrators often turn to servers as the go-to answer for challenges that come up in the data center, especially for making data available for applications in different locations.

While it seems counterintuitive, servers are not built to move data efficiently, requiring multiple ‘hops’ as data is moved in and out of registers and system memory, which slows everything down. Moving data also consumes valuable CPU processing bandwidth, which can prevent servers from handling other, more complex operations. Servers are also expensive to maintain – licensing, power, cooling, updates and the inevitable upgrades.

ATTO XstreamCORE intelligent bridges change the game, redefining data center storage

A purpose-built, cost-effective data movement platform, XstreamCORE works hand-in-hand directly with storage resources to efficiently move data to where it’s needed. It enables seamless connectivity between different storage protocols – bridging SAS storage to Fibre Channel and Ethernet infrastructures.

XstreamCORE can simplify AND supercharge your storage – large or small. It’s the ultimate storage connectivity solution for your workgroup or large enterprise.

XstreamCORE – The Answer for More Efficient Data Backup Architectures

Streamlined Management

Multiple functions can be consolidation into a single, easy-to-manage appliance. Rather than juggling various components and configurations, users can enjoy a streamlined setup that requires minimal maintenance and oversight.

Enhanced Connectivity

Seamless connectivity for shared SAN disk & tape infrastructures. Eliminating separate backup servers allows organizations to achieve faster and more reliable data transfers between storage devices, optimizing backups.

Improved Performance

Efficient design & advanced features ensure high-speed data transfers and minimal latency, enhancing system performance. Organizations can experience faster backup and restore times, reducing downtime and improving productivity.

Better ROI

Reduced hardware and maintenance expenses associated with traditional backup server environments. With a simplified setup and fewer components to manage, organizations can allocate resources more efficiently and achieve a lower total cost of ownership.

Connecting data centers – clusters don’t have to be complicated

Making your storage sharable over long distances while still retaining the levels of responsiveness, availability and reliability your customers demand doesn’t need to be complicated. XstreamCORE intelligent bridges act as an access point for local storage to connect to storage networks, simplifying network configuration and providing additional flexibility.

They are also built for the enterprise – over 50,000 are deployed in global data centers. XstreamCORE isolates data and management functions so that important data is moved across the network without interruption. We also provide analytical insights that can be used to improve network management and control, allowing administrators to identify problems before, well, they become problems.

Don’t take our word for it, try it for yourself and discover what Fortune 100 companies already know – XstreamCORE is a cost-effective way to scale your storage in the data center. Give us a call to learn more and to take a test drive.
