SANBlaze Technology Storage Solutions The Industry’s Most Innovative Embedded Storage and Emulation Solutions


Initiator Emulation

The SANBlaze Initiator Emulator for FCoE, Fibre Channel and SAS provides simulation of a single to hundreds of Initiator ports. The Initiator product operates on existing SANBlaze VirtuaLUN and GargantuLUN systems, making it easy to integrate into existing SANBlaze environments. The software runs standalone or in conjunction with SANBlaze Target Emulation software for an end-to-end solution.

SANBlaze Initiator Emulation provides unparalleled advantages over the real thing: smaller footprint, lower power consumption, centralized management and control and lower cost of ownership.

Simulation of hundreds of host devices or initiators is possible in a 1U form factor.

Features such as read/write/compare testing, error injection and a custom command builder provide the ideal environment in which to simulate Initiator test cases via script or an easy to use web interface. The patent pending “BlazterMode” allows for all ports to run at full line rate.

Capabilities

Predefined Load Testing
Predefined tests provide desired load and performance testing such as Max throughput and Max IO tests with a click of the mouse. Configurable parameters such as block size, threads, IO's per thread and op codes allow for specific test cases to be easily configured and executed at the system, port, target or LUN level.

Generic and Custom IO generation
The ability to send individual IO or custom IO in scriptable test cases provide a granularity that allows for very specific cause and effect test cases.

Persistent Reservations/Reserve and Release
The SANBlaze system contains the ability to send specific commands providing some unique test cases and features for OS clustering applications.

Error Injection
Error injection from the initiator side enables error handling testing of targets. Multiple error conditions can be simulated.

Task Management
Task Management commands and conditions can be simulated as another unique test case capability.

Scalability
Depending on the protocol, the SANBlaze emulator can simulate 100's of end devices, providing unprecedented end device density in a small form factor. This allows for scalability testing at a fraction of the ownership cost.
