I-TECH Announces the 4G Fibre Channel Tester.EDEN PRAIRIE Eden Prairie A city of eastern Minnesota, a residential suburb of Minneapolis. Population: 57,300. , Minn. -- Extending the Speed of the EAGLE(TM) Tester Product Family I-TECH, a technology leader in high-speed data storage testing solutions, introduced today the IFC-5 Fibre Channel Tester, the newest member of the EAGLE product family. EAGLE testers have long been the industry standard for testing Fibre Channel devices within manufacturing, development, quality assurance, and regression test environments. The IFC-5 generates Fibre Channel traffic at 1G, 2G, and 4G rates and is capable of low-level testing at the frame and primitive level. A powerful software development kit (SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ) is provided with the IFC-5 for automating the testing process. A suite of prebuilt pre·built adj. Of, relating to, or constituting a structure or a portion of a structure that is constructed or assembled before being transported to its site of installation; prefabricated: a prebuilt home. tests as well as the source code and an extensive function library are included for performing basic and advanced testing. Tests can be created for sending Fibre Channel frames and loop primitives to the device, manipulating buffers, and issuing FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol) See Fibre Channel. FCP - Flat Concurrent Prolog. ["Design and Implementation of Flat Concurrent Prolog", C. Mierowsky, TR CS84-21 Weizmann Inst, Dec 1984]. commands. The SDK, combined with the EAGLE software menu, an intuitive interactive menu providing a shortcut (1) In Windows, a shortcut is an icon that points to a program or data file. Shortcuts can be placed on the desktop or stored in other folders, and double clicking a shortcut is the same as double clicking the original file. for issuing functions, macros, and commands, makes the IFC-5 a versatile testing solution. Tests created on earlier I-TECH Fibre Channel testers can be easily ported to the IFC-5. "All of our existing 2G Fibre Channel tests ported over to the 4G tester with virtually no effort," said a beta IFC-5 user. I-TECH continues to build in a migration path into each new generation of tester, thereby conserving the time invested into test development. "I-TECH has developed a tester to meet the needs of all device developers and manufacturers. The IFC-5 can be installed in a PC or purchased preinstalled in a portable enclosure and used across the network. Regardless of your application, your skill level, or your environment, the IFC-5 is the ideal test solution," said I-TECH CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Steve Bucher. The IFC-5 is available in three configurations: development, interactive, and manufacturing test configurations. Availability I-TECH is now accepting orders for the IFC-5 Tester with delivery in December 2004. For more information, please contact I-TECH Sales at (952) 828-0101.
