Overview

Teledyne LeCroy is a leading provider of test, validation, and benchmarking test platforms to the storage industry. The company is a recognized leader in test and validation tools for solid state storage.

The highly-capable and scalable OakGate SSD Test Platforms support all popular storage protocols and are based on advanced, proprietary software, industry standard hardware.

OakGate’s SSD Test and Validation Software is the industry’s most advanced with an unprecedented level of functionality, performance, and ease of use for testing storage devices.

The software has been hardened over twelve years in intense test environments at major SSD customer sites worldwide. OakGate’s products have been deployed by top tier components suppliers, drive manufacturers, and storage system OEMs worldwide.

Industry leaders choose OakGate software over our competition for five simple reasons:

Feature		Benefit
1.	The OakGate SVF/Enduro Exerciser can generate high-performance, randomized profiles to run I/O traffic and tests that stress an SSD.	Ensures the DUT can reach and maintain its maximum capabilities.
2.	Our proprietary driver runs in user space but interfaces directly with the hardware, completely bypassing the kernel in the I/O path.	Avoids all I/O bottlenecks associated with the user-kernel I/O interface to ensure consistent test performance from run to run.
3.	Since the driver modules interface directly to the hardware, SVF/Enduro can inject errors at the lowest level.	Ensures the SSD under test can withstand the injected errors.
4.	The integrated Protocol Analyzer provides real-time protocol analysis from NVMe initialization through test completion for each LUN/namespace.	Helps to identify failures and debug the difficult problems.
5.	Our data validation capability validates every command and handles overlapping writes, DIF, resets, LBA atomicity, and automatically reads back the last written logical block addresses after reset.	Ensures data is being handled correctly.

Basic OakGate SSD Test Configuration Example

Client - a customer’s Windows PC, Mac, or Linux-based machine with Enduro installed
Through an extensive and intuitive GUI, Enduro controls the attached appliance
The client communicates with the appliance over a network and can reside in any local or remote location

Appliance - an OakGate Linux-based desktop or rackmount system that includes the latest OakGate SVF software suite

Enclosure - Slots for the DUTs – slots for the DUTs may reside within the OakGate appliance, or in an OakGate-supported 8-bay module or 16-bay external enclosure
