Communications Test & Measurement
At 6 Gb/s, the majority of engineering issues for SAS and SATA are expected to involve signal integrity. Carrying such high data rate signals several meters over copper cables tests the limits of signaling technology and leads to frustrating "phantom issues" during testing that can stall product verification and delay time-to-market. With SAS and SATA expected to dominate disk drives designs worldwide, users need reliable, protocol-aware capture and analysis tools that do not negatively impact signal integrity.
In addition, as networks become more complex, equipment deployed in mixed SAN environments must operate in a coordinated and efficient manner. In order to assist users in designing next-generation storage equipment, the Xgig Analysis and Test Platform provides full line rate monitoring and analysis for SAS and SATA at 6 Gb/s over maximum cable lengths, as well as transparently supports all protocol changes introduced, including new multiplexing and Out-of-Band (OOB) signaling capabilities for SAS.
JDSU continues to take a leadership role in the development of SAS/SATA test equipment, and maintains compliance to the latest specifications as standards continue to evolve to ensure that it provides the most powerful monitoring and analysis system available for SAS and SATA applications. The Xgig Analysis and Test Platform for SAS/SATA is also the only platform to offer all major 6 Gb/s testing capabilities – analysis, traffic generation, and error injection/jamming – required to comprehensively test network equipment. Its wide array of advanced features, such as cross triggering (internal and external) and Expert analysis, make it the ideal platform for solving the challenges associated with high-speed serial buses.
