How does the FastStream achieve its fast performance in RAID configurations?
RAID applications are the most taxing on storage subsystems. These calculations (called XOR processes) ensure redundancy but are “compute intensive”. The ATTO FastStream Storage Controller utilizes hardware to complete the XOR calculations. This removes the task from the processors running the storage and places the workload on components optimized for the job. ATTO uses patented technology coupled with custom software to accomplish this. ATTO has many years of RAID storage development experience that results in enhanced performance in the FastStream Appliance line.
