8g FiBRE CHANNEL LOAD TESTER
A key aspect of verifying the reliability of Fibre Channel equipment is to stress-test the network with traffic at and above the maximum legal data rate. The Xgig® Fibre Channel Load Tester eliminates the need for creating complex test setups comprised of multiple servers and storage arrays by enabling users to construct fully-meshed data communication topologies, generate traffic loads, and monitor both transmitted and received data streams. Offering easy-to-use comprehensive analysis and statistical capabilities, Xgig Fibre Channel Load Tester is the ideal tool for testing Fibre Channel fabrics and switches for performance, data integrity, robustness, flexibility, and scalability.
OVERVIEW
The Xgig Fibre Channel Load Tester brings essential Fibre Channel traffic generation capabilities to the Xgig Unified Protocol Analysis and Test platform, the industry?s only complete protocol testing suite supporting multiple protocols and analysis functions in a single chassis. With eight powerful traffic profile engines assigned to each physical Xgig port, the Load Tester is capable of transmitting various traffic patterns at and above the maximum legal data rate to simulate extreme traffic conditions. Optimal for testing and verifying switch and fabric scalability, flexibility, robustness and performance, the Xgig Load Tester is also a cost-effective alternative for high port count switch testing scenarios which otherwise require many expensive servers and storage arrays. By emulating N_Port and/or NPIV behaviors?with up to 255 NPIV ports for each physical port? the Xgig Load Tester conducts fabric and port login processes and can configure a variety of port Medusa MLTT I/O Test Xgig Analyzer & Jammer Xgig Load Tester Xgig Analyzer & Jammer r FC Fabric Figure 1: Example setup with the Xgig Load Tester and Medusa Lab Tools for testing Fibre Channel Fabric performance.
