PCIe Desktop Test, Validation & Benchmarking Systems

PCIe Test, Validation & Benchmarking Systems offer the industry’s most comprehensive set of features and capabilities and are designed expressly for the emerging flash based storage, including Solid State Drives (SSDs). These systems support all popular storage interfaces and are available in Desktop and Rack-mount versions. Based on industry standard Linux server platform and proprietary software, these systems are available as turnkey, ready-to-use appliances.

These PCIe Desktop system is designed to work with the customer’s existing block level storage driver or drivers based on industry standard protocols such as NVMe and AHCI. These PCIe Test Systems leverage proven, second generation software architecture that is common across this line of test products.
