The SANBlaze SBExpress full feature set provides
a unique set of functions applicable in all
aspects of a product lifecycle; from development
to design validation to test and QA. The ability
to drive NVMe SSDs with a wide range of
configurable attributes provides engineers with
a flexible, scalable tool to simulate real disk
and memory access environments and issues.
Development, qualification, and certification
test cycles can be highly automated, thus
reducing overall test time, and rapidly
surfacing errors and non-conformance. |

Gen6 SSD Testing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The industry's first platform to support NVMe®
over PCIe® Gen6 validation and compliance
testing is now available.
The new SBExpress Rackmount Gen6 platform
provides a seamless upgrade path to Gen6. This
Gen6-ready platform provides broad test
capabilities for development, QA, validation,
and manufacturing teams. The new Gen6 platforms
include the company's Certified by SANBlaze (SBCert™)
compliance test suite, widely recognized as the
industry benchmark for all generations of NVMe
testing.

iRiser5 Intelligent Device |
|
|
|
|
|
The iRiser5 device brings precise signal control
and measurement to Gen5 PCIe NVMe testing with
the SANBlaze SBexpress-DT5 and SBExpress-RM5
PCIe NVMe test systems.
The patented SANBlaze iRiser5 can monitor drive
power at up to 1M samples per second, giving
near real-time power response as drives come
online and handle resets or power cycles.
Signals under control are timed at an 80nS
interval in relation to each other, giving the
user ultimate control over complex testing
scenarios, such as a drive reset at a specific
time after power is asserted.
The iRiser5 operates seamlessly with the
SANBlaze standard riser capabilities, such as
SRIS and Power state testing, losing no
functionality with the addition of the iRiser5
as an initial purchase, or post purchase as a
hardware upgrade. |

Technical Specifications |
|
|
|
|
|
- Precision control of PCIe/NVMe power and
control signals while continuously
monitoring the power of each device under

each signal line with up to 10 nanoseconds (nS)
glitch precision, with each event action
loading at 80nS interval to hours.
- Simple or complex sequences can be
defined and loaded to iRiser from the host
system.

OCP |
|
|
|
|
|
The Open
Compute Project (OCP) was formed to quicken
innovation for open-source hardware solutions in
hyper-scale data center environments. OCP
requires that Solid State Storage Drives (SSDs)
adhere to the OCP's NVMe Cloud SSD Specification
v2.0 or the newer Datacenter NVMe SSD
specification v2.5.
SANBlaze provides built-in software for testing
an OCP drive, which must be tested to a minimum
standard above and beyond the standard mandatory
NVMe features, as well as specifying minimum
reliability, thermal, endurance, management, and
form factor requirements. |

Certified By SANBlaze Scripts |
|
|
|
|
|
With the
Certified by SANBlaze program NVMe SSD
Manufacturers can run a series of automated
tests to determine if their drives are running
correctly and that they are compliant with the
latest specs. Alerts of Failures, Skipped or
Warnings are shown if one or more drives is not
behaving the way that it should, allowing for
the quick diagnosing of any problems before the
drives go out into the field.
The Certified by SANBlaze tests are bundled with
the software when customers purchase a SANBlaze
SBExpress-RM5 (rackmount) or an SBExpress-DT5
(desk top) unit. Simply choose the tests you
want to perform, add them to the test bed, and
click Start. The Certified by SANBlaze software
does the rest, reporting the results in
real-time and in beautifully-created reports.

Protocols Supported |
|
|
|
|
|
SANBlaze
manufactures target and initiator emulators for
NVMe, FC-NVMe, NVMf, FCoE, Fibre Channel, SAS,
iSCSI and other storage protocols. Our highly
configurable systems are unique in their ability
to emulate actual storage devices. Our target
emulators allow you to create read/write drives
and tapes, control latency and configure error
conditions. Our initiator emulators behave as a
real initiator, not just a traffic generator or
protocol tester, providing real login and
command control.
