Finisar's analyzers and generators provide a comprehensive portfolio of integrated test and analysis tools for storage protocols such as Fibre Channel, SAS/SATA, and iSCSI. This provides engineers and designers with a full compliment of solutions for design, test, verification, and compliance.
Finisar's Analysis products offer a comprehensive set of analysis, diagnosis and display options to make investigations of SAN, LAN, and consumer electronics component performance and trouble spots fast and accurate. Finisar's unique Expert software provides a level of network diagnostics that is unsurpassed, ensuring that problems are identified, explained and resolved efficiently.
Finisar has a
range of products to both generate controlled network
traffic (Generators and Testers) and to modify existing
real-world traffic (Error Injectors). Using these devices,
network designers, SQA, and manufacturers can make sure
that the products they produce are well-tested and
resilient to errors.
Fault-tolerant,
single, or multi-port full-duplex TAPs maximize visibility
and minimize link downtime on switched LANs and SANs.
Finisar TAPs provide access to all network traffic from
both sides of a full-duplex link at line rate. Completely
invisible and non-intrusive to the network, TAPs allow for
monitoring, capturing, and analyzing physical errors,
timing errors, and client-server interactions.
Finisar Taps are available in many different platforms,
from
single-
to
high density.
How a TAP works--Place a
single-port TAP between a switch, host, and a Finisar
Network Analyzer. TAPs are passive devices and will not
affect your data but will still allow the monitoring of
traffic.
Mission-critical or business-critical links are expensive
if there is downtime. Having pre-installed taps in these
links, IT engineers will be able to rapidly troubleshoot
occasional anomalies and other problems without having to
bring their systems down for maintenance.
Core or Backbone Links with high bandwidth utilization
again should be pre-tapped to allow probes and monitors to
be installed, moved and removed without breaking the links.
Intrusion Detection Monitoring, the link supporting the
firewall offers a perfect place for a tap to provide a
dependable and complete data stream to the Intrusion
Detection System. These systems depend on complete data
streams to recognize intruder patterns.
Voice over IP quality measurement demands accurate jitter
and drop rate measurements. Taps allow this, but mirror
ports change the jitter value and artificially inflate the
drop rate.
