Eden Prairie, MN - April 3, 2002 -- I-TECH, a technology
leader in high-speed data storage testing solutions, announced
today the addition of the Satellite®-32MP Multi-Protocol
Analyzer to its Satellite analyzer product family. The Satellite’s
unrivaled hardware platform, combined with powerful Satellite
software, supports a vast set of intuitive features for simultaneously
analyzing Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet storage protocols.
I-TECH currently features the support of iSCSI protocol over
Gigabit Ethernet and various storage and networking protocols
over Fibre Channel for the development and monitoring of Storage
Area Network (SAN) devices and applications.
"The SAN environment is evolving into a heterogeneous
environment where both
IP and Fibre Channel have a place. As a result, analysis tools
for monitoring and testing the transfer of data in these diverse
technologies are essential," commented Steven Denegri,
Analyst for RBC Capital Markets.
The Satellite-32MP is equipped with all the industry-recognized
features for which the Satellite product family is known.
Up to 64 dedicated processors support cooperative analysis
across multiple channels. I-TECH’s patented hardware
search capability
provides search operations in seconds, not minutes. Hardware
indexing of trace data displays trace views without the need
for postprocessing. Prefiltering can be applied to extend
the effective trace memory depth from 320 MB per channel to
gigabytes per channel. The Satellite software interface is
easy to use and provides the tools for configuring and monitoring
the performance of SANs within a single application. Users
employing both technologies can capture data at different
transfer rates simultaneously and display that data in a single
time-correlated trace.
The Satellite-32MP combines Satellite power and intelligence
with multi-protocol technology in a high-density, small footprint
form factor, resulting in the most versatile analysis tool
on the market.
