We have been actively using Finisar NetWisdom Probes and Analyzers to identify the specific issues causing application disruptions, allowing us to focus our energies on resolving the root cause of the problems. This has eliminated finger pointing and substantially reduced resolution cycle time. By utilizing Finisar rovers, we now extend the reach of NetWisdom solution across a larger section of our SAN to further improve our ability to prevent and resolve potential application issues.

Xgig® Jammer

View Enlarged Image

Finisar's Xgig® Jammer is an Xgig-based product that allows its users to test that their Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, SAS, and SATA networks recover from a variety of error conditions without data loss or corruption. Unlike traditional products that generate network traffic and act as one side of a network connection, the Jammer works in-line between two actual network devices. As such, the Jammer does not demand that the user create complicated network stack programs to emulate a device. Instead, the Jammer allows the user to modify or "edit" the actual network traffic between actual devices. With Xgig Jammer, testers manipulate the real-world traffic, in real-time, and verify the device’s recovery process operates as expected. Jammer tests are controlled and repeatable, and can be stored for future regression testing.

Product Features and Benefits

Modify actual network traffic or make parts of it "disappear"
Quickly discover and set-up Jammers via the Xgig's discovery control dialog
Control and repeat real-time data modification with stored test cases
Pass, overwrite, or correctly recalculate the CRC on modified frames/packets
Test any storage device with a product that supports data rates of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps Fibre Channel, 1 Gbps Ethernet, and 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps SAS / SATA
Operate in any supported network topology or any upper-layer protocol
Trigger protocol analyzers or other instruments at the error injection point

The Xgig Jammer is a licensable function for Finisar's Xgig multifunction blades. This product may be used in conjunction with Finisar's Xgig Analyzers, to capture Jammer modified traffic and its associated system response. The Jammer can both trigger the analyzer and receive arming signals from it.
