Xtend SAN, ATTO Technology’s iSCSI Initiator for OS X, allows Mac users to utilize and benefit from Internet SCSI (iSCSI), one of the fastest growing networking protocols today. iSCSI allows users to take advantage of their existing Ethernet expertise and infrastructure while reaping the benefits of network attached storage, avoiding the cost and complexity associated with Fibre Channel. iSCSI is an important enabler for applications such as collaborative digital video/audio workflows, laptop connectivity to SANs, and remote backups.

When Xtend SAN is used in concert with ATTO iPBridges, the cost-effective nature of iSCSI is enhanced. The ATTO iPBridge family adds iSCSI functionality to SCSI and Fibre Channel storage, which extends the useful life of the storage while enhancing return-on-investment. The need to purchase new iSCSI-ready storage is eliminated.

Mac users expect OS X-compatible software to reflect the simplicity and elegance that OS X is renowned for. Xtend SAN is no exception, as management and configuration are simplified thanks to an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), which also guides users through initial setup.
