Eden Prairie, MN - May 14, 2002 -I-TECH, a technology
leader in high-speed data storage testing solutions, today
introduced SAN Commander™, the first 2-Gbps wire- speed,
multi-port Fibre Channel data generator at a price per port
unmatched in the industry. SAN Commander is capable of maintaining
a constant Fibre Channel protocol transmission of Fibre Channel
frame data. Multiple Fibre Channel ports support point-to-point
and arbitrated loop topologies. SAN Commander is the ideal
tool for stressing devices and performing SAN throughput verification
testing on storage components and topologies.
"We have been hearing from the industry that verifying
SAN device performance at high bandwidth utilization has been
difficult due to the lack of tools that can provide a controlled,
saturated load condition at a reasonable price per port. SAN
Commander provides the first cost-effective wire-speed test
solution to actually quantify throughput and qualify the performance
of devices supporting 2-Gbps storage topologies," said
Steve Bucher, I-TECH CEO.
SAN Commander is unlike any other product in the industry.
Never before have product developers had the capability to
saturate their products with a maximum load and ensure continued
operation even under the most extreme conditions. Integrators,
VARs, Solution Providers, and Virtual Storage Vendors now
have the ability to saturate SANs and know with certainty
if and where performance bottlenecks will occur. SAN Commander
puts theory into practice by generating streams of data at
nearly 100% of the technology’s theoretical maximum.
But SAN Commander goes far beyond simply generating data.
SAN Commander can simulate the effect of adding a device into
a deployed topology, verify how a device responds to being
overloaded, and assist in benchmarking and supporting product
claims. It is the ideal solution for scheduled throughput
verification and emergency fault isolation.
I-TECH’s products are distinguished in the industry
for their quality, intelligence, and innovation, and SAN Commander
is no exception. Not only is SAN Commander the first cost-effective
solution for 2-Gbps wire-speed testing, it is the most comprehensive
test tool on the market.
