Absolute Analysis

"For the first time, developers in embedded systems, storage networking, data communications, telecommunications, and military & aerospace are able to capture 100% full line rate. This new test solution provides complete analysis with absolutely no data loss at 10Gbps and at distance ranges of up to 220 meters, or 720 feet. In addition, customers will experience shortened development cycles, expanded engineering capabilities and problem resolution by using our system," stated Dennis Murphy, President of Absolute Analysis.

"Absolute Analysis' protocol test solutions are leading the market by providing new SFP+ technology at the highest level of 10Gbps Ethernet testing. With industry momentum gaining toward Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), storage managers are beginning to seek out test solutions that address Fibre Channel protocol behavior over 10Gb Ethernet. Our new 10Gbps analyzer and related products provide the 10GBase-LRM support that large storage area networks (SANs) will require for adoption of FCoE," Murphy said.

Speed and Power with 100 Percent Accuracy

Manoj Samanta, Vice President of Engineering at Absolute Analysis explained, "The demand to reach devices at farther distances and analyze massive amounts of data at higher speeds, with 100 percent accuracy, continues to grow. We created this new technology to support 10GBase-SR (Short Range), 10GBase-LR (Long Range), and the new 10GBase-LRM interface to ensure standards conformity. However, we also developed the analyzer to be fast and powerful by including a PCI Bus with transfer rates up to 528MB/s to quickly upload large trace files."

"I recently demonstrated this new 10Gbps analyzer to a large wireless provider headquartered in the UK," added Samanta. "They were highly impressed with the product's features and the accuracy at which we were able to capture data to the bit level at 10Gbps, and declared this the best Ethernet protocol analyzer they had ever seen."

Features, Benefits and Product Specs

The Absolute Analysis 10Gbps SFP+ test solution provides developers with the capability to connect up to 16 ports in a single chassis, simultaneously utilizing both Ethernet and Fibre Channel. These ports are each synchronized to a common clock allowing development engineers to monitor multiple points in the network and aggregated links, and time correlate trace information for anomalies. The analyzer also boasts a large 4GB capture memory that is expandable to 8GB, enabling deep capture of over eight million frames for analysis over extended time periods.

Additional features and benefits of the Absolute Analysis 10Gbps Ethernet Protocol Analyzer include:

• A unique ability to use an external clock source to ensure usercontrol

• LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), SAN (Storage Area Network) and MAN (Metro Area Network) support

• Up to 32 firmware-based multi-level triggers and filters capture specific information required by the user, as well as detect protocol anomalies
