8Gb FC Target Emulation System by SANBlaze

SANBlaze Technology, Inc., a provider
of Storage Emulation Systems, announced the availability
of the
SANBlaze VirtuaLUN8 8G Fibre Channel target emulation
system, the
industry’s first 8G target system.

The VirtualLUN8 8G system
provides an
extremely cost effective approach to 8G Fibre Channel device
testing and is
available configured with 2, 4, 8 or 10 Fibre Channel ports
running at 2, 4
or 8 Gbps. Each port can be configured to present from 1
to 512 virtual
"disks," each with configurable sizes, speeds, attributes
and profiles.

With this newest SANBlaze platform, customers can finally
test 8G hardware
and storage applications in their test and development environments,
reducing the need to deploy large farms of physical "scratch"
disks,
providing high performance, non-volatile disk media at a
fraction of the
cost of physical disks.

"With the VirtuaLUN 8G system, SANBlaze further demonstrates
its commitment
to offering the industry’s most complete suite of emulation
systems," said
SANBlaze CEO Steve Munroe. "A fully configured system can
present over 5000
LUNs into the test environment, providing our customers
with a huge cost
savings over building the same capability using real disk
drives."

The ability to add latency, have differing read/write sizes,
inject a wide
variety of errors and save and restore multiple disk configurations
makes
the VirtuaLUN 8G system a scalable, flexible and invaluable
tool for Fibre
Channel HBA, switch, infrastructure and software companies.
The products
feature set provides a unique test tool for product development,
QA and
test, boundary and exception testing, performance, stability
testing and
error handling.

The SANBlaze VirtuaLUN occupies a 1U or 2U rack space, providing
test labs
with a highly optimized test environment in a compact footprint.
An
integrated, easy to use web based interface allows configuration,
re-configuration, error injection and monitoring from any
remote system.
