JDSU Xgig 1000: Storage and Network Tester Supporting 4/8/16GFC and 10GbE in One Platform

JDS Uniphase Corporation, in data center and storage-networking test solutions, offers a solution for pinpointing and resolving problems across multiple protocols in converged data centers in its Xgig 1000 16 G.

Cloud-delivered services are critical to global business operations so cloud service providers must cost-effectively operate scalable, efficient converged data centers that meet their customers’ needs. To do this, providers need tools that cover new, fast-growing data center technologies such as Ethernet, iSCSI, FC, and FCoE.

The JDSU Xgig 1000 16 G meets this challenge with:

• Automated testing for faster SAN and NAS installation and deployment
• Optimized diagnostic efficiency in one compact, portable, stand-alone platform that integrates b and 4, 8, 16 Gb FC
• Reduced downtime and lower SLA-management with a reliable, analysis and troubleshooting solution
• Improved storage and network-services management with IO-performance statistics

Hitachi Data Systems Corp. has selected the Xgig 1000 to assure end-to-end quality when deploying solutions.

"The dynamic traffic patterns, loads, and protocols driven by data center virtualization and LAN/SAN convergence puts higher performance demands on the underlying network infrastructure tasked with delivering mission-critical business applications," said Steve Lockrey, director APAC global support centre at HDS. "The comprehensive protocol test capabilities of the portable JDSU Xgig 1000 solution ensure our field engineers can proactively validate ongoing performance and quickly isolate and resolve issues across converged environments to optimize SLAs."
