FastFrame NS14 Quad-port SFP+ Ethernet Adapter conserves PCI slots for more flexible system design, while drawing up to 60% less power than competing solutions. A lower power rating means lower energy costs, lower data center maintenance fees, and fewer worries about heat dissipation. This high performance adapter includes high-quality pluggable optical SFP+ tranceivers - a hidden cost with some competitor cards - and support for direct attach copper cables.
A single NS14 quad-port FastFrame adapter in a server provides an affordable, high-performance small network or storage solution for four clients. Or, link aggregation may be used to reduce server-to-switch bottlenecks. In addition to broad support for Windows® and Linux server and desktop operating systems, ATTO is a leader in high performance I/O connectivity for Mac OS® X environments. ATTO also offers Xtend SAN, an iSCSI initiator for OS X, for a complete solution. Acquire your NICs for multiple-OS environments from a single source — one familiar with the data-intensive demands of content editing. ATTO FastFrame outperforms the competition on OS X, while using significantly less power - reducing heat dissipation issues. ATTO engineers FastFrame NICs for stable, near-line-speed data rates across a wide range of file sizes for predictable network performance, and provides a single source for OEM 10Gb Ethernet requirements: Single-, dual-, and quad-port Optical NICs and CNAs with support for Direct Attach Copper, with Mac, Linux, and Windows OS support.
