SAS/SATA Rackmount Systems Test, Validation & Benchmarking Systems

Test, Validation & Benchmarking Systems offer the industry’s most comprehensive set of features and capabilities and are designed expressly for the emerging flash based storage, including Solid State Drives (SSDs). These systems support all popular storage interfaces and are available in Desktop and Rack-mount versions. Based on industry standard Linux server platform and proprietary software, these systems are available as turnkey, ready-to-use appliances.

SAS/SATA Rack-mount systems are available in 1U, 2U and 3U chassis form factors. These Systems leverage the company’s proven, second generation software architecture.
