Fibre Channel and Ethernet SAN Delay Emulator

Aukua Fibre Channel and Ethernet SAN Delay Emulators, also referred to as distance emulators or distance simulators, are used by our customers to precisely recreate the delay and impairments found in real-world Storage Area Networks (SAN). Aukua SAN Delay Emulators provide a simple, repeatable test methodology which directly helps reduce risk, avoid business interruptions, and improve business critical application performance.

  • Simplifies proving disaster recovery plans against real-world scenarios in your lab.
  • Supports both Fibre Channel and Ethernet interfaces up to 32GFC and 25GbE respectively
  • Validate business continuity plans, data replication and synchronization capabilities.
  • Evaluate the impact on application performance when migrating to the cloud or distributed storage systems
  • Enables realistic Proof-of-Concept (PoC) testing of new generation solutions and technologies
  • Provides a faster troubleshooting methodology of post-deployment issues
