XstreamCORE supports Extended Copy (LID1) data mover commands and will offload up to 5.2GB/s of data from CPU, memory, networks and storage fabrics leaving more resources for VMs and applications running on the host. Build solutions with up to 960 SAS SSD/HDD devices behind a pair of controllers and better manage, monitor and utilize this storage with current and future features built into XstreamCORE. Engineered to be Open with a Modular Design The XstreamCORE has an advanced architecture that pushes the envelope on performance adding less than 4 microseconds of latency to storage. ATTO storage controllers do not alter the data path and improve data flow by creating a higher performing shared storage network using off-the-shelf SAS JBOD, JBOF and RAID Arrays. The XstreamCORE offloads compute, memory and network resources from client servers to allow those resources to process more transactions, dedicate more resources to application usage and better utilize server resources for virtualization. The XstreamCORE allows IT administrators to build a complete, modular, open storage solution using all flash SSL)s, all capacity HDDs or a hybrid mix of SSDs and HDDs with faster flash storage shared among all attached clients. Drive Map Director Storage and Host LUN Mapping Drive Map Director storage mapping is patented technology which discovers the physical layout of storage devices and creates a virtual topology with device maps corresponding to the physical layout. This eliminates the need to remap storage if a shelf is moved for maintenance or experiences a failure. SAS drives are automatically assigned to a Fibre Channel LUN with a static, predictable configuration. XstreamCORE also gives the FT administrator the ability to identify LUNs by flashing the device LEDs so that they can match physical storage to the assigned map. ATTO's host LUN mapping feature allows IT administrators to assign clients and servers to allow or deny access to SAS JBOD, JBOF or RAID storage attached behind the XstreamCORE. This provides security and gives administrators the ability to assign unique boot disks to physical server hardware. xCORE Hardware Acceleration and Data Mover Technology The XstreamCORE is a solid state plug and play controller that sits external to off-the-shelf-storage. ATTO has developed the hardware acceleration engine that accelerates all read and write data to an extreme level. Higher storage latency slows real - world performance while a smaller amount of latency allows more completed transactions in the available performance footprint. ATTOs xCORE Technology achieves up to 1.2 M 4k lOPS or 6.4GB/s throughput per controller pair while adding a consistent sub 4 microseconds of latency. Leveraging hardware acceleration for normal data transfers, the ATTO XstreamCORE also includes a hardware data mover that offloads read and write traffic from server CPU, storage fabric and network resources to move data in the background. Since the XstreamCORE is an open platform this technology can be used with any attached storage and overcomes limitations of data mover technology by allowing RAID array to RAID array data movement when installed behind ATTO storage controllers. Data Center Ready for Reduced Maintenance Costs ATTOs storage controller products are engineered to lower data center maintenance costs and comply with international regulations while delivering high performance and low latency. XstreamCORE products save up to 25% in power over using native Fibre Channel components and feature a front to rear cooling flow to integrate with cooling systems that expel heat from the data center. The XstreamCORE enables users to manage storage infrastructures with features not found in direct connect technologies. XstreamVlEW system manager is a remote management interface for configuration, monitoring and management of ATTO storage controllers. Advanced tuning and troubleshooting features include a built-in PCle analyzer, performance monitoring, diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities, phone home email notification and robust trace and event logging. Several management interfaces are available including GUI, CLI, Telnet, SNMP and FTP. xCORE Acceleration Technology xCORE data acceleration technology features multiple parallel I/O acceleration engines with end to end I/O processing, hardware buffer allocation management and real-time performance and latency analytics. These features combine to provide very high, reliable throughput and lOPS while adding less than four microseconds of latency.• Performance-critical commands and all reads! writes are accelerated in hardware• End-to-end data protection in the acceleration technology and control functions to safeguard data throughout the controller and also enables max login management capabilities• Eliminates bottlenecks with parallel processing for up to a 10x performance improvement over standard SAN storage• maximizes large block transfer sizes for optimal streaming performance (GB/s) eCORE Control Engine The eCORE control engine adds common, open storage services, integrates with industry standard APIs, handles reservations, storage routing and host and LUN mapping functions.
