The Challenge

Homegrown tools can’t do it all

Storage vendors are introducing new devices and technologies at a furious pace to address an explosion of customer demand for cloud, mobile and social applications. Storage performance, capacity, as well as processing power, are all being routinely pushed to new heights.

To test and qualify modern storage devices, vendors need the ability to simulate the extreme loads and complex interactions these systems are designed for. To minimize their time to market, vendors also need to accelerate their testing cycle, and increase its efficiency. Yet, many struggle with the limited performance and capabilities of homegrown test tools, and with the cost of developing and maintaining them. A new testing strategy is required.
