The D-Series Desktop Appliances for PCIe Gen4 are versatile test systems designed to support all popular storage interfaces and protocols, such as PCIe, SAS, SATA, and FC. These appliances are perfect for environments inside or outside the lab, where the appliances rest on a bench or a desk, rather than being contained in a rack. All desktop appliances include and are powered by OakGate’s
Enduro Controller Application and
SVF Pro, the industry’s most advanced storage-testing software. The robust SVF Pro software, now in its fourth generation, offers a comprehensive set of testing features and capabilities.
These desktop appliances can be connected to a variety of external enclosures that provide high-density scaling and power management. For an easy way to test mixed-protocol devices, the expandable desktop appliance (OGT-DE200) can be equipped with an optional OakGate
4-bay U.2 plug-in module, which allows testing of up to four SSDs that use a U.2 (SFF-8639) connector.
The OGT-DE200, released in January 2019, is the second generation of the expandable desktop appliance that provides significant improvements over its predecessor (the OGT-DE100), including:
- Airflow and thermal design improvements
- Mechanical design enhancements, such as a flip-open top lid so PCIe add-in cards (AICs) can be swapped easily and quickly
- Fan speed knob and indicator on the front panel empowering the user to optimize the fan speed (and noise) based on the number of AICs and their usage
- Rugged, reinforced design for a solid and secure test foundation
D-Series Desktop Appliances for PCIe Gen3 Product Brochure
The desktop appliances can be configured in numerous ways depending on your requirements for the DUT type (protocol and form factor), number of DUTs to test, power measurement and control, and so on. To make configuration concepts easier, the following tables shows some common examples with the desktop appliances and additional required OakGate products (such as
add-ons and
enclosures), if applicable.
