Amherst, NY (June 25, 2012) — ATTO Technology, Inc., announced today the availability of their FastFrame™ 10GBASE-T Network Interface Cards (NICs). Built upon Intel technology, FastFrame 10GBASE-T NICs boast 47% faster Fibre Channel performance than existing structured twisted-pair copper cabling, ensuring usability in any data center.

With enhanced iSCSI support through Lossless Ethernet (CEE) and Data Center Bridging (DCB), the cards are offered in single and dual-port configurations. FastFrame NICs are backwards compatible to support phased upgrades from GigE for existing infrastructures, and are able to run 10Gb Ethernet over existing Cat6A cabling in data-intensive settings, making them a high-performance, easy to install and cost-effective upgrade solution.
