ATTO Technology Launches Accelerate™ Partner Program

Online, December 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ATTO Technology, Inc. today announced the launch of Accelerate™, a new initiative that offers unique sales and marketing opportunities for suppliers of connectivity solutions in the fastest growing segments of the storage market.
