Teledyne LeCroy OakGate Validation Test Appliances and Modules Supporting PCIe 4.0 Transfer Rates

Teledyne LeCroy OakGate announced the validation test appliances and modules supporting PCIe 4.0 transfer rates and advanced functionality that design and test engineers require to ensure performance and spec compliance of SSDs.

“In the past decade, OakGate Technology has pioneered the industry’s most advanced SSD validation solutions, and now as part of Teledyne LeCroy, we continue to lead as the first validation solution supporting PCIe 4.0.” said Anil Gupta, GM, test appliance products. “We now have a full set of solutions that will enable our customers to accelerate the launch of PCIe 4.0 NVMe based solid-state storage products.“

The company’s nPCIe 4.0 storage validation appliances include the OakGate DC100-G4 compact desktop appliance, DE200-G4 expanded desktop appliance and the OakGate R300-GU 3U rackmount appliance. The firm also offer PCIe 4.0 versions of the 4-bay modules and 12-bay enclosures. These modules and enclosures support industry standard U.2, U.3 and EDSFF Long and Short form factors, allowing customers to scale the number of SSDs that they can test with a single or multiple OakGate appliances.

“With the doubling of data transfer rate per lane from 8.0 GT/s (gigatransfers/second) to 16.0GT/s, the move to PCIe 4.0 cannot be realized without the ability to test and validate both performance and compliance,” said Bob Weisickle, strategy and technology officer, test appliances, Teledyne LeCroy. “The new highly-scalable PCIe 4.0 OakGate modules and enclosures follow our current products as they are powered by the industry’s most widely used SVF Pro and Enduro software suite.“

The OakGate Enduro with SVF Pro includes a range of capabilities including protocol inspection and analysis, high-performance traffic gen, full-performance characterization, complex error injection, test automation and power cycling for PCIe, SAS, SATA and FC. In addition, the open API allows integration into the customer’s existing test infrastructure.

OakGate PCIe 4.0 products are available.
