Xgig 6G SAS/SATA Analyzer

The VIAVI Xgig 6 Gbps SAS Analyzer is a versatile and cost-effective monitoring and analysis system available for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) applications. This state-of-the-art solution for monitoring and analyzing live traffic employs a stand-alone hardware architecture and offers complete visibility into traffic flows with advanced trace and analysis capabilities. This multi-purpose, multi-protocol tool helps users overcome high-speed serial design challenges and accelerate development of today’s Storage Area Networks (SAN) and storage subsystems. This solution supports 6/3 Gbps SAS and 6/3 Gbps SATA.

Highlights

• Eases troubleshooting with the industry’s most powerful trace capabilities and advanced monitoring and analysis tools
• Accelerates development through patented search and filtering capabilities, including DWORD searches within frames and Traffic/Exchange view
• Provides the ability to analyze large port counts with time-sync groups up to 32 ports
• Automates troubleshooting with advanced scripting and capture capabilities
• Eliminates cabling complexity using native Mini-SAS HD Connector Interfaces

Key Features
