The solution provides high-bandwidth connectivity for Apple’s new Mac Pro, iMac Pro and Mac mini.

In addition, Facilis servers include 10GigE optical and copper ATTO HBAs and ATTO 12GB SAS internal and external interface cards.

“Facilis and ATTO have been partnering for several years, and we rely on the strong interoperability and quality of their products working seamlessly with our shared storage solutions,” said Shane Rodbourn, Facilis COO.

Facilis has been beta testing the soon-to-be released ATTO 360 Tuning, Monitoring and Analytics application as well, which is an Ethernet network optimisation tool designed for creative professionals looking to unlock the potential of ATTO FastFrame and ThunderLink adapters.

"We're very happy to expand our longstanding partnership with Facilis,” said Jeff Lowe, global business development, media technology, ATTO. "The new Facilis HUB Shared Storage platform is a powerful storage solution for media professionals working in compressed and uncompressed high-resolution video finishing formats utilising Ethernet, Fibre Channel or both."
