Test and measurement company Viavi Solutions announced that Dell EMC has selected the Xgig 1000 10/25/50/100 GE Analyzer for storage network test.

Dell EMC, a supplier of enterprise storage systems, needs test capabilities that can keep pace with rapid market evolution.

“In addition to supporting the higher speed, 32 Gb development needs to address new features such as mandatory forward error correction. Viavi’s Xgig analyzer precisely met our requirements, allowing us to test for link training, speed negotiation and FEC,” said James Wynia, director Product Management Networking at Dell EMC.

Viavi Solutions said that the Xgig 1000 addresses all predominant speeds and protocols in storage networking, supporting manufacturer R&D and helping field installers deploy and troubleshoot data centers.

The test solution from Viavi supports 16, 32 and 128 Gb FC and 10, 25, and 100 GbE and comes with features such as inline, non-intrusive capture and analysis and inline jamming; and true analog pass-through adapters keeping the linear nature of signal over copper connections.
