ISCSI XGIG ANALYZER
Finisar?s Hardware-Based Xgig for Ethernet/iSCSI Analysis
Finisar?s Xgig® analyzer is a hardware-based Ethernet/iSCSI analyzing tool. Compared to the competition?s tools, such as software-based promiscuous-mode analysis or tools embedded in the network application layers, Finisar?s hardware-based Xgig analyzer is the most accurate, robust tool in the industry for challenging scenarios.
XGIG VERSUS PROMISCUOUS-MODE ANALYSIS
Typically, a promiscuous-mode software-based adapter discards all bad packets as they are received, and physical-link issues such as code violations or loss of sync are either discarded or ignored. Finisar?s hardware-based Xgig analyzer captures 100% data activity on the link.
XGIG VERSUS NETWORK APPLICATION LAYER TOOLS
Contrary to popular belief, IP and TCP implementations are not always robust and do not always recover from errors on the network. As IP and TCP stacks migrate into hardware-based silicon, software-based tools embedded in the network application layers cannot always be relied upon to capture every frame and decode accurately. Finisar?s hardware-based Xgig analyzer captures all network errors, including those that the network application layer misses. Additionally, as 10GBE transceivers and physical-layer implementations arise, industry engineers expect a plethora of bugs, centered mainly in the transmission layers of the hardware. This makes Finisar?s hardware-based Xgig analyzer increasingly more vital for accurate and timely debugging.
FINISAR?S XGIG PROTOCOL ANALYSIS FOR ISCSI
Finisar?s Xgig iSCSI protocol analysis is part of Finisar?s Gigabit Ethernet protocol analyzer solution. Xgig, designed for heavy-duty data traffic and complicated network structures, offers the industry a reliable analysis tool for high-bandwidth protocols such as iSCSI. Finisar?s Xgig analysis system streamlines resolution of events that cause performance problems and enables users to design, implement, test, and evaluate the iSCSI protocol.
