SwiftTest Enables Unified File and Block Storage Testing
SwiftTest extends their industry-leading testing product to include block storage
SANTA CLARA, CA, September 14, 2010 – SwiftTest Inc., a developer of powerful and efficient commercial IP network testing tools and solutions, announced that it has expanded the capabilities of their product line to include iSCSI protocol support.
SwiftTest supplies the storage industry with premiere testing tools that enable functional and performance testing of IP networked storage, storage-aware network devices, and storage services. For testing today’s unified storage systems, SwiftTest is at the forefront with a single test tool capable of generating multi-protocol workloads including file and block-level traffic concurrently.
iSCSI adoption is growing rapidly, fueled by the adoption of 10G Ethernet. SwiftTest is on the leading edge of this growth trend with iSCSI support, as well as with theSwiftTest 5000 product that has two 10GE ports and can generate over 30Gbps of full-duplex iSCSI traffic.
“Today’s unified storage servers simultaneously support files, blocks, and objects,” said Alan Newman, Vice President of Marketing at SwiftTest. “Support of iSCSI for testing block-level applications is essential as the storage industry moves toward unified systems.”
Not only can a single test tool from SwiftTest generate the workload of multiple file and block-level clients concurrently, you can measure the interaction when various protocols access the same content. The SwiftTest Test Development Environment provides visibility into muli-protocol actions and real-time reporting that allows you to more effectively test performance and reliability of your storage systems.
