Hi Bob,
“I was on the phone with our representative from ATTO today and as you indicated, the 8Gb FC HBAs are available now, in fact I am working with them now. As to the ATTO switches you have mentioned, I am not aware of ATTO having a switch product. They do have a line of products called “FastStream” that combine switch like characteristics along with RAID management features. According or our contacts at ATTO, the FastSteam 8Gb Product is not due to be released until sometime during 1st Qtr, 2009 and the final feature sets they will have are not yet finalized.”
Hope this information is helpful.
Have a wonderful holiday season,
Howard

Hi Simon,
You are right that the FastStream will allow you to connect your SAS RAIDs to Fibre Channel but there is much more. FastStream is a product family that has several products. The FastStream family includes connectivety to Ultra320 SCSI, 3Gb-SAS/SATA, and FC. The following is a link that will help you to become familiar with the feature sets of each of the FastStream product family.

We have been implementing these products for a while and have hands on with most of them. If you have any questions or need further information don’t hesitate to get in touch.Thanks.
