Included with all ATTO host adapters is an easy-to-use utility enabling management, monitoring and configuration which leverages an intuitive GUI. ATTO's exclusive, field-proven Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) Technology helps users meet the most demanding performance requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications. ADS achieves this performance increase by integrating a combination of features engineered to allow for the controlled acceleration of data transfers.

Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™)

Latency-management technology that controls the acceleration of data transfers to move large amounts of data faster and more efficiently.

DriveAssure™ Technology

Drive assessment and latency management technology that minimizes the likelihood of RAID groups becoming degraded or taken offline due to slow drives, ensuring uninterrupted access to data.
