Aukua Systems 32Gb FC and 25GbE SAN Delay Emulator

Aukua Systems, Inc. announced a FC and Ethernet SAN Delay Emulator providing 32Gb FC support.

XGA4250

This solution is delivered on XGA4250 hardware platform featuring line-rate performance and supports a RESTful API allowing full automation capabilities.

“In recent months, we have seen an increased demand from both storage network equipment makers and organizations that are developing and deploying these new high speed 32Gb FC storage networks. Our team has developed the functionality to meet that demand and we are thrilled that we were able to leverage our new XGA4250 platform to rapidly deliver this important solution to our customers within the promised timeframe,” said Jason Nutt, co-founder and president.

The company‘s delay and network impairment emulators are used to reduce risk, ensure business critical application performance and prove DR plans with real-world emulation of network characteristics and scenarios. This product marks  an industry-first with 32Gb FC support, and also adds to the suite of precision test and monitoring solutions from the firm. The MGA2510 platforms offer an 3-in-1 test and monitoring platform that can operate as a traffic generator and analyzer, connect transparently inline as a protocol analyzer and traffic monitoring system, or as a network impairment and delay (WAN) emulator.

“This new capability delivers huge benefits to our customers utilizing 32G FC; allowing them to test their FC products, SAN solutions, and implementations vs. real-world conditions that until now have been unavailable,” said Laky Hothi, director, GCH Test and Computer Services Ltd, Aukua’s UK-based partner. “It is imperative to test FC BC and DR applications like synchronous replication with real world impairments thoroughly before they are deployed to support mission critical networks like financial services and HPC.“

The company ships the 32G FC and 25GE SAN Delay Emulator this month to customers worldwide.

“This is a great accomplishment for the team at Aukua, having just this summer completed the release of the XGA4250 platform. It is impressive to see this important feature-set delivered just months following,” stated Hothi.
