iSWAT™ Test Solution
iSWAT Test Platform is the protocol testing and analyzing tool of choice for IP storage networking developers using the iSCSI protocol interface. iSWAT is the first protocol tester for iSCSI protocol. The application suite incorporates all the professional features and functionality required for iSCSI protocol testing within a single, feature-rich test environment, providing a mode for iSCSI developers to test iSCSI behavior in heterogeneous, high bandwidth IP Storage Area Network or Gigabit Ethernet.
Designed to meet a variety of development-specific needs, the iSWAT product line offers a number of modular software units for basic testing requirements ? such as initiator traffic generation - while also providing advanced features ? such as error injection and synchronized multi-device emulation.
IP Storage developers using the iSWAT Test Platform benefit from convenient and cost-effective test solution with reduced overhead for error detection.
IP Storage developers using the iSWAT benefit from a convenient and cost-effective test solution for iSCSI-based product debugging, with reduced overhead.
Additionally, iSWAT is a powerful demonstration tool for vendors looking for a way to demonstrate the functionality of their products with integrated iSCSI technology, without the need to actually establish an IP Storage Area Network (SAN).
iSWAT Initiator Module
iSWAT Initiator implements the iSCSI protocol internally, using a standard NIC adapter instead of an expensive Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This allows comprehensive control over the iSCSI protocol, including error injection and built-in error detection. iSWAT Initiator allows both interactive and script based command execution
iSWAT Target Module
iSWAT Target implements the iSCSI protocol internally, using a standard NIC adapter. This allows comprehensive control over the iSCSI protocol, including error injection and built-in error detection. Target emulation is optional in a high level SCSI command module, as well as in a low level SCSI script module.
Initiator development may be facilitated with iSWAT Target for high performance as well as for high storage capacity. Using an internal RAM buffer enables a very high performance test condition. A high capacity target (up to the available free space of system drive) may also be emulated. A SCSI Drive Target option may be added for both high performance and high storage capacity tests.
SCSI Drive Target Module
Installable on top of the iSWAT Target module, this optional module enables real SCSI target functionality, practically replacing the need for a real IP Storage device to be installed in a test network – at considerable cost savings and less complexity.
