ATTO Technology says its Desklink category of products designed to allow all-in-ones, laptops and Ultrabooks to utilize high- performance storage and networks is now shipping. The first two offerings the ThunderLink and ThunderStream devices. 

These solutions allow customers to use high-end, data-intensive applications on ThunderboltTM-enabled portable computers in highly mobile environments, according to Wayne Arvidson, vice president of marketing at ATTO Technology. ThunderLink and ThunderStream products allow portable devices that, in the past incorporated interfaces such as FireWire and USB connections, access to external 6Gb SAS/SATA storage, 8Gb Fibre Channel and 10Gb Ethernet networks via Thunderbolt at performance levels not previously attainable, says Arvidson.

They’re the only Thunderbolt-enabled connectivity products on the market that incorporate the versatility to handle any protocol and any host while addressing the demands of rapidly evolving work environments and allowing access to enterprise data center networks, he adds.
