Xgig® Protocol and Analysis Platform

Xgig is the industry’s leading tool troubleshooting all of the issues affecting the mission critical data in your data center with a configurable flexible platform for multi-protocol analysis, load generation, and error injection, addressing all current SAN technologies up to 12G SAS, 16G FC, and Ethernet rates up to 40Gig-E. The Xgig can reduce finger pointing between workgroups and vendors by quickly identifying the source of performance issues. It is widely considered proof-positive of network equipment interoperability issues so it can reduce time to problem resolution.


Based on a flexible and scalable platform, 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 managed from a common interface and without changing hardware. An intuitive GUI combined with automated testing capabilities simplifies troubleshooting, and multiple chassis can be cascaded together to synchronize testing across even the most complex network configurations. Xgig is the only protocol analyzer supporting multiple protocols – including Fibre Channel, Ethernet, FCoE, and SAS/SATA – in a multi-functionality environment, all within the same chassis.

 

 Analyzer

 
Gives users full visibility and access to traffic at line-rate to achieve more robust product performance while reducing troubleshooting time from hours to minutes.
Xgig Protocol Analyzer Family Overview

The Xgig® Analyzer offers a wide array of advanced analysis capabilities to enable users to achieve more robust product performance without sacrificing time-to-market. With its wide range of capabilities, including intelligent triggering, automated capture, and Xgig Expert analysis, troubleshooting time is reduced from hours to minutes.
 

 Jammer

 
Manipulates live network traffic to simulate errors in real-time to easily verify the responsiveness and robustness of error recovery processes in network equipment.
Xgig Jammer

The Xgig® Jammer manipulates live network traffic to simulate errors in real time, enabling users to verify the responsiveness and robustness of error recovery processes.
 

 Load Tester

 
Accelerates problem resolution while enabling more thorough and accurate measurements of switch performance to verify data integrity, monitor network performance, and identify a wide range of sophisticated problems that are too difficult to troubleshoot with an analyzer alone.
Xgig Fibre Channel/FCoE Load Tester

The Xgig Load Tester quickly and easily verifies data integrity, monitors network performance, and identifies a wide range of sophisticated problems across complex network topologies that would be too difficult to troubleshoot with an analyzer alone.
 

 BERT

 
Simplifies signal integrity verification and high-speed bit error measurements to significantly reduce manufacturing test times for hubs, host bus adapters, FC RAIDs, and other devices.
Xgig Fibre Channel BERT

The Xgig BERT solution simplifies signal integrity verification and high-speed bit error measurements by injecting data patterns into the traffic stream that create worst-case data loading conditions and stress a network's physical layer to its limits.
 

 Traffic Generator

 
Stress tests equipment with traffic at line rate to accelerate development, device bring-up, debugging, manufacturing verification, and infield troubleshooting.
Xgig 6G SAS/SATA Traffic Generator and Target Emulator

JDSU’s powerful Traffic Generator and Target Emulator extends the capabilities of the Xgig Analysis and Test Platform to create network traffic at line rate to stress test equipment during development and in-network.
