iSCSI Bridge 
iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel Bridge  
Ideal for connecting Fibre Channel  
Storage Networks to an IP SAN 
 
As the amount of data generated by users in or-
ganizations continues to increase, managing tradi-
tional direct-attached methods of storing data be-
comes a more difficult and time-consuming task.  
 
The ATTO iPBridge
TM
 2700R/D helps address this 
growing issue by providing high-performance 
iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel connectivity. Since iSCSI 
technology utilizes existing Ethernet infrastructures 
already supported natively by many servers, de-
coupling Direct Attached Storage (DAS) from indi-
vidual servers and reaping the benefits of net-
worked storage is a simple task.  
 
All iPBridges offer additional value through ATTO-
designed technologies. Performance of the bridge 
is optimized through ATTO’s SpeedWrite feature, 
which efficiently queues outstanding write com-
mands to enhance the throughput of the bridge. 
Features such as e-mail notification of errors and 
SNMP support serve to reduce downtime and in-
crease productivity. Security concerns are ad-
dressed through support for both Virtual LANs 
(VLANs) and Access Control Lists (ACLs.) Initial 
installation and configuration is a painless task due 
to the ExpressWizard configuration assistant, 
which helps optimize the bridge for specific applica-
tion needs by asking a series of basic questions. 
Management of the bridge is simplified with Ex-
pressNAV, ATTO’s web-based management GUI 
which provides an easy interface to configure, 
manage and diagnose ATTO iPBridges.  
The iPBridge 2700 is the leading choice for high-
performance iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel bridging, 
thanks to industry-leading support for 4-Gigabit 
Fibre Channel. Support for both FC and iSCSI pro-
tocols allows storage devices such as disk drives, 
tape drives and libraries, and CD jukeboxes to eas-
ily attach to IP networks.
