Xgig-LD30Sa Finisar SAS/SATA SFP Drive Adapter Module

The II-VI / Finisar Xgig Series Protocol Analysis and Test Platforms are unified, integrated platforms employing unique chasses and blade architecture to provide users with the utmost in scalability and flexibility. Various blades support a wide range of protocols and can easily be configured to act as a Protocol Analyzer, Jammer, BERT, Traffic Generator, and Load Tester all without changing hardware.

Xgig can be placed either directly in-line on a link or connected using II-VI / Finisar 's family of copper or optical TAPs. Additionally, multiple Xgig chasses can be cascaded together to provide up to (64) time-synchronized analysis/test ports across multiple protocols, enabling correlation of traffic across several devices and network domains. Xgig is the only protocol analyzer supporting multiple protocols in a multi-functionality environment, all within the same chassis.

Xgig's ease-of-use and flexibility are important features for accelerating product development and testing. Users access all protocols and analyzer functions using an intuitive and unified GUI-based suite of applications - TraceControl, PerformanceMonitor, TraceView, and Expert - that run on a Windows management PC connected through a GbE and LAN connection. The Maestro application suite manages the multi-functional capabilities of Xgig protocol blades, providing a common interface for all functions as well as allowing management of multiple tests in the same screen and driving different functions concurrently. Xgig gives users full visibility and access to traffic while enabling remote monitoring and powerful analysis.

For ultimate flexibility and control, some GUI functions and configurations are also accessible through the Application Program Interfaces (API) that leverages test customization, and automation via scripts and FRunner. Scripts based on C/C++, Perl, Python, or TCL/TK, allow users to design any combination of triggers and controls, and accelerate development by enabling them to automate and manage regression testing for debugging and manufacturing that would otherwise be time-consuming to configure and manage through the GUI.
