Product Overview

SwiftTest 3000

The hardware component of the SwiftTest product is an appliance with every port configurable as either client or fileserver, providing ultimate flexibility in test configurations. Included with the SwiftTest 3000 is the SwiftTest Controller, which is a graphical application that allows you to configure tests, run tests, and analyze your results.

The SwiftTest 3000 simulates clients accessing storage and large filesystems. You can test networked storage, storage-aware network devices, and storage services.

• SwiftTest Client simulates large numbers of clients accessing CIFS and NFS storage
• SwiftTest Server simulates large installations of CIFS and NFS storage

Eliminate multiple, disparate test systems using the SwiftTest 3000 configured as client.
In the following scenario, you’re testing a storage device. In the past, you simulated client traffic using tens or even hundreds of servers. And the software you used to generate the load was difficult to maintain, inflexible, and required expensive licenses and hardware. With the SwiftTest 3000, you can simulate a variety of load types by simply configuring the SwiftTest ports as client and using the SwiftTest Controller to configure and run your tests, and analyze the results.

Test a storage-aware network device using the SwiftTest 3000 configured as both client and server.
In the following scenario, you’re testing a storage-aware network device. In the past, you needed a storage device plus tens or even hundreds of servers to generate the client traffic. With the SwiftTest 3000, you can replace both your client systems and storage device. Simply configure some SwiftTest ports as client and some as server, then use the SwiftTest Controller to configure and run your tests, and analyze the results.
