AMHERST, N.Y., Oct. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATTO Technology, Inc., today affirmed its commitment to Apple® technology innovations by announcing driver support for El Capitan, the latest update to Mac OS X that brings enhanced usability, performance and security.

With over 25 years of experience powering high-performance workflows, ATTO's network and storage connectivity products address all aspects of media production and support each step in the process from content creation to delivery.
