16G Fiber Channel Load Tester

A key aspect of verifying the reliability of Fiber Channel equipment is to stress-test the network with traffic at and above the maximum legal data rate. The Xgig Fiber Channel Load Tester eliminates having to create complex test setups comprising 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. With effortless comprehensive analysis and statistical capabilities, the Xgig Fiber Channel Load Tester is the ideal tool for testing Fiber Channel fabrics and switches for performance, data integrity, robustness, flexibility, and scalability.
