March 2021

OakGate's SSD Test Platforms running SVF Pro/Enduro has three options for testing Zoned Namespace (ZNS) – Exerciser, Directed Tests, Automation. Our ZNS feature requirements were developed with the inputs from a number of our current customers.

Analytics 

Data Center Refresh - Using Analytics to Make Informed Decisions​​​​​​

January 2021​

Planning, designing & characterizing Data Center production workloads is critical to the overall business success and efficiency for any Data Center operations team. Teledyne LeCroy’s OakGate WorkloadIntelligence™ Analytics provides deeper insight into what is happening at the system and storage layer to what DCs could get previously. This allows the DC to improve overall workload performance.

Deep Analyzer 

Deep Analyzer – Deep Insight into Solid-State Drive Issues and Problems​​​​​​​

December​ 2020​

Deep Analyzer is a patent-pending deep analysis solution that works in combination with Teledyne LeCroy’s OakGate SVF Pro/Enduro SSD validation platform. Deep Analyzer gives SSD validation engineers visibility into issues and failures that weren’t possible before by capturing hours/days of protocol analyzer trace data and validating the data is correctly stored and securely erased.​​

Analytics and SVF Pro – A Winning Combination 

Analytics and SVF Pro – A Winning Combination

September 2020​

Customers have long been familiar with OakGate SVF Pro and LeCroy Analyzer tools. Our new WorkloadIntelligence™ Analytics tool allows customers to derive even more benefit from their existing tools.

Because most tools report data as averages and histograms, some problems can be hard to identify and correlate. In addition, problems that span multiple layers can also be hard to identify and correlate. Analytics provides a means to deal with both of these issues. Teledyne LeCroy has developed a suite of advanced software tools called WorkloadIntelligence that delivers on the promise of providing analytics and replay capabilities for testing SSDs with real-world workloads

Real-World Workload Comparisons on Industry SSDs  

Real-World Workload Comparisons on Industry SSDs

June 2020

This white paper shows a comparative analysis of storage industry SSDs using Teledyne LeCroy WorkloadIntelligence™ Analytics application.

A datacenter workload, a Linux block trace provided by one of our Teledyne LeCroy hyperscale data center customers, was used for the comparative analysis. The goal for the comparative analysis was to see how other industry SSDs handle the same burst of latency I/Os highlighted in the trace.

The trace was captured using a customer’s production system and replayed on an OakGate appliance. Because Teledyne LeCroy uses a proprietary driver, which sits in user space and tunnels through directly to the hardware, we are able to faithfully reproduce the workload to the drive without operation system induced variation in the workflow.

File System / Block Exerciser 

File System / Block Exerciser

A scalable and easy-to-deploy storage performance, validation, analysis, and workload-modeling environment

July 2017

This white paper describes the features of OakGate’s file system / block exerciser and how customers can quickly and easily run pre-packaged storage workloads and view immediate results. Our exerciser helps customers avoid:

  • Being burdened with developing complex scripts or analyzing megabytes of cryptic results generated by free data validation tools.
  • Needing to create and maintain their own in-house validation tool, using valuable time, money, and engineering resources that could be more effectively applied for their company’s core product development.
