A FCoE Community: Welcome to our community for developers, engineers and resellers interested in FCoE technology innovation.

About

The powerful capabilities of the Xgig® Protocol Analysis and Test Platform are available for the most recent standard proposals for FCoE. Xgig’s multi-protocol platform provides a unique mechanism to monitor and analyze the same traffic passing through different transportation protocols by uniting the different analyzer port identities under the same time sync domain. For FCoE networks where the Fibre Channel network connects to the Ethernet network and merges with other types of traffic, Xgig is the ideal tool for analyzing the migration process from FC to Ethernet.

Xgig enables users to measure the impact on performance of native FC networks in a converged environment and is the unique tool able to address FCoE protocol issues such as real-time monitoring and flagging CRC errors on both the Ethernet packet and embedded Fibre Channel frame. In addition, Xgig Expert provides extensive network architecture and performance information about the converged network environment, as well as abundant expert metrics that allow developers to more quickly troubleshoot FCoE networks. Expert also offers a new report comparison feature enabling performance comparisons between native FC and converged FCoE networks to assist users in verifying and validating the effectiveness and efficiency of FCoE technology.

  • Accelerates new product development thus reduces development costs
  • Improves product quality and reliability
  • Helps insure product interoperability

The Xgig employs universal chassis and blade hardware architecture. By inserting various blades, Xgig® becomes a multi-protocol, multi-function, and multi-speed tool. Currently available applications are the protocol analyzer, traffic generation, and BERT, all available with no hardware changes.
