Fibre Channel Advantage Product Family



The Advantage product family defines a new direction for test equipment by providing automated analysis of Fibre Channel test traces.



Specifically targeted at the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) SANmark Qualification Program, Advantage eliminates the need to manually review test traces, dramatically reducing the time required to determine whether or not a device has passed a test suite.

Advantage reduces the testing process to merely connecting the device to the system and selecting the appropriate test. Advantage does the rest by running the test, evaluating the device's response to the test, providing a pass/fail status, saving the trace to a user-defined location, and providing specific pointers in the trace if the device under test fails.

If a device fails a test, the Advantage software indicates the exact location of the failure with a time stamp indicating the event location in the trace where the failure occurred along with a description of why the test failed. The patented hardware search feature makes it possible to quickly search for the time stamp and go to the precise location of the failure in the trace for troubleshooting.
