SANBlaze Supports 25/50/100GbE iSCSI Emulation

SANBlaze Technology, Inc. announced support for 25/50/100GbE iSCSI emulation using Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. and Cavium, Inc. adapters.

The company’s VirtuaLUN iSCSI emulator is the key test equipment for anyone needing to test iSCSI devices and infrastructures.

The VirtuaLUN feature set provides functions applicable to all aspects of a product lifecycle, from development, to design validation, to test and QA. Supporting both host and target sides of the transport allows full coverage. The ability to drive iSCSI targets with a range of configurable attributes provides engineers with a flexible, scalable tool to simulate real disk and memory access environments and issues. Development, qualification and certification test cycles can be highly automated, which reduces time and surfaces issues and errors. This results in reduced product development and deployment times.

“Supporting the latest Ethernet speeds will allow us to meet our customers’ needs and help them accelerate their development and testing time,” said Vince Asbridge, president, SANBlaze.

Firm’s VirtuaLUN storage emulation systems provide a means to test and exercise SAN hardware and software products with thousands of high performance simulated disks, or hundreds of emulated hosts. This allows users to save the expense of populating a test environment with real, expensive hardware. Company’s systems are widely deployed and an invaluable tool for storage development and QA labs.

VirtuaLUN features an easy-to-use, web-based interface, which enables comprehensive configuration of storage devices, re-configuration, error injection, performance testing, and monitoring. It features an extensive command line interface, complex scripting capabilities and XML interfaces, which allows VirtuaLUN to be integrated into multifunction test environments easily. In addition to iSCSI, company’s emulation solutions are available for FCoE, SAS, NVMe and FC.

The company will add support for RDMA and RoCEv2/iWarp protocols to 25/50/100GbE in 2017.
