VIAVI Unleashes Powerful Monitoring and Analysis System for Serial Attached SCSI Storage Network TestingSAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced availability of the Xgig 1000 24 Gbps SAS Analyzer, the first solution available for validating and ensuring 24G Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) network performance in a fully integrated, stand-alone system. This versatile storage network testing solution helps equipment manufacturers improve R&D efforts, as well as supporting data center deployment and troubleshooting in the field. VIAVI's Xgig 1000 24 Gbps Analyzer enables simultaneous analysis and error injection for SAS protocol traffic at all layers of the stack, delivering one of the most powerful monitoring and analysis systems available for SAS applications. The system not only captures and analyzes live data traffic to verify performance, it also provides traffic jammer capabilities to simulate errors in real time for testing the responsiveness of error recovery processes. The latest SAS 4.0 protocol standard introduces significant technological changes in response to demands for increased storage capacities and faster data speeds, supporting a number of important optimizations for solid-state drives. This new industry standard doubles the effective bandwidth previously possible, from 12 to 24 Gbps. Network equipment manufacturers need optimized testing capabilities to ensure their next-generation 24 Gbps storage systems do not become a bottleneck.
Advanced Automation The Xgig 1000 24 Gbps SAS Analyzer blade chassis supports 24/12/6/3 Gbps SAS with dual mini-SAS HD receptacles, allowing bidirectional analysis of single and wide-port SAS links. An innovative design with front-to-back airflow allows for standing the chassis on end, minimizing the overall footprint in desktop testing.
