CT510-10G
High-Speed LANforge-FIRE Traffic Generator
The CT510-10G is a powerful system for testing high-performance File-IO servers, such as NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI. The CT510-10G consists of a single 1U multicore processor system with a dual 10 Gigabit Fiber NIC.
This system can read at least 15Gbps of data if the file server is fast enough. The CT510-10G supports up to 2000 concurrent, configurable File-IO connections.
The CT510-10G 1U rackmount chassis fits into a standard rack and is about 14 inches deep. The rackmount chassis fans are noisy, so it is better suited for deployment in a data center than a desktop environment. Other form factors better suited for traveling or desktop use are also available.
