Editor's Notes
- It is an integrated, multi-protocol storage testing solution. Simultaneously, you can test file, block, and object storage devices - CIFS/SMB, NFS, iSCSI, FC, HTTP.As I mentioned before, it is very high performance – and scalable – so by stacking boxes, you can test @ 40G, @ 100G – all within 1 GUI. If you happen to already have automated testing, we integrate into that as well.It is the most full featured storage testing platform availabl. As one of our customers at EMC said, basically, “We thought of everything”. So what exactly is “SwiftTest”?The solution is an appliance that enables you to emulate real world data traffic, completely paramaterizable (file size, block size, read/write ratio, etc.), then scale it up to extreme proportions – millions of clients, 1000’s of servers, hundreds of VM’s – and then load test your networked storage. It is not a monitoring tool; instead, it is a system that is intended to stress test your architecture to find it’s breaking points. It does not belong in production. Some people ask me if it is like IOmeter- the SwiftTest solution is much more than this. We do not just send a bunch of 0 & 1’s. The appliance does write/read verification and works at the protocol level, giving valuable insight to how traffic is handled by command.
- Enterprise customers typically use SwiftTest at 3 key points: before they buy, before they deploy, and before they make a change. That includes changes in infrastructure and applications.For instance, when Ellie Mae decided to migrate to a private cloud, deploying hundreds of remote clients booting to VM’s, they brought SwiftTest in during their planning and implementation to help fine tune the overall architecture. We helped them work through a variety of virtualization issues such as boot storms and rogue VM’s not loading at all. By using SwiftTest, they cut down their deployment time and achieved a successful rollout. In the case of GE, they initially found us while they were on the wrong side of the “don’t test in production” camp. After spending too much time troubleshooting a new application rollout, they brought in SwiftTest and we helped them to emulate their exact traffic pattern and then scale out a test to find the exact bottlenecks that were causing their new app to fail. By testing with SwiftTest, they were able to track down the issues and finally deploy their Big Data application.For customers like Wells Fargo and GoDaddy, they were looking to deploy new infrastructure. Using SwiftTest, they were able to emulate their real world data and test potential vendors to compare ROI. To this day, GoDaddy, uses their SwiftTest appliance 3 days a week testing things like new firmware, hard drives, or any other configuration change to their architecture, ensuring they have the most resilient Data Center possible.

- Finally, I would like to share the future vision of SwiftTest. We are constantly adding new protocols like FC or FCoE and features of course, but the true end game is to be the integral portal to your change management process. For storage, we are looking to expand heavily into object storage with CDMI, S3, CEPH. Networking will be expanded beyond what we do for WAN optimizers and Load Balancers. For compute, we are growing our virtualized testing capabilities and moving into Hadoop/Big data. API’s such as JSON & REST will be added. We are also looking to integrate 3rd party tools and even considering some monitoring functionality. We also plan to have a VM version, hopefully by mid next next year.Beyond that, we are building a library of tests and workloads – truly developing methodologies on testing for specific things like VDI deployments and database apps like SQL.That is the 10,000 foot view of what SwiftTest does. Before I turn it over to _____ to walk us through the TDE, can I answer any questions?
