ATTO adds NIC teaming to Windows 10 and 11 workstations

ATTO Technology has added Windows Teaming support to ATTO360 Networking, giving Windows 10 and 11 workstations NIC teaming, load balancing, failover and VLAN management. The update targets media, AI, high-performance computing and shared-storage environments that need more resilient desktop networking.

Why it matters: - Windows workstations are taking on more infrastructure-heavy jobs in media production, AI, high-performance computing, shared storage and distributed compute. - ATTO360 Networking now brings server-style networking features to desktop systems that need higher bandwidth and more reliable network paths. - The update can help applications that do not manage multiple network interfaces on their own.

What happened: - ATTO Technology announced Windows Teaming support in ATTO360 Networking. - The feature lets users create and manage NIC teams directly within Windows 10 and Windows 11. - The release is part of ATTO360 Networking v2.5. - ATTO360 Networking v2.5 is available from the ATTO website.

The details: - Windows Teams combines multiple network interfaces into a single logical connection. - The feature supports load balancing and failover. - ATTO360 Networking supports static and LACP team modes. - Users can change team settings dynamically on existing teams. - Multiple VLANs can be managed alongside teamed network connections. - Team configuration and monitoring happen through a single ATTO360 Networking interface. - ATTO ExpertAI integration adds alerts, diagnostics and network management capabilities. - ATTO360 Networking also provides performance tuning, monitoring and diagnostic tools for ATTO FastFrame Ethernet NICs and Ethernet-based ThunderLink adapters. - The Windows version of ATTO360 Networking supports Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025. - Technical documentation and downloads are available at the ATTO360 Networking product page. - A how-to video is available on YouTube.

Between the lines: - The launch extends ATTO’s enterprise networking push beyond servers and into workstation environments. - The move reflects a broader shift toward desktop systems that must fit into always-on, high-throughput production workflows. - Tim Klein, ATTO Technology president and CEO, said workstations are now critical participants in high-performance infrastructure.

What's next: - ATTO360 Networking v2.5 is ready for download now. - ATTO is positioning the Windows Teams feature for users who need redundancy, bandwidth aggregation and centralized management on Windows workstations. - The company is directing users to its website, documentation and video materials for setup and support.

The bottom line: - ATTO is bringing enterprise networking tools to Windows desktops, aiming to make high-availability networking easier on workstations used in demanding data workflows.
