ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream SC Installation and Operation Manual
1.0 ATTO FastStream Offers Data Protection
The ATTO FastStream™ SC 7500 and 7700 provide blazing-fast performance and instant RAID parity
protection using a simple installation and management graphical interface.
Adding RAID ensures your data is protected without
compromising performance. The ATTO FastStream
SC 7500 and 7700 are high performance RAID
storage devices which can be seamlessly integrated
into any storage environment without regard to any
particular manufacturer, type of drive, capacity or
speed.
The ATTO FastStream SC 7500 and 7700 are ideally
suited for data intensive applications such as digital
video and audio editing. Audio latency management
provides parity RAID protection while managing
latency to allow high-speed availability to support
multiple tracks of audio editing.
While RAID improves data accessibility and reliability
during normal operations, you still need a good
backup strategy for long-term protection of your data.
The ATTO FastStream SC 7500 and 7700 are
available in industry standard rack mount 1U
enclosures.
