Helping Storage Area Network Providers Do More With Less
For Storage Area Network (SAN) providers time is of the essence. Not only do you have to build a test environment for both hardware and software, you have to build it quickly and reliably every time. Now there's a way to do that, which is faster, more cost-effective and more reliable.
Gale Technologies provides resource orchestration and lab automation testing solutions that will help you achieve levels of productivity in the lab like never before. With Gale Technologies, you will be able to:
- Rapidly and reliably build complex hardware and software test environments, plus change, save, and restore environments on demand.
- Significantly reduce capital investments in equipment purchases.
- Reduce time and labor cost of rewiring complex lab topologies.
- Increase the effective testing time and coverage by reducing the time spent on cabling, fiber cleaning, and troubleshooting connections.
- Plan and provide for optimal test bed scheduling, thus maximizing valuable resource utilization.
- Provide an automated "lights-out" 24x7 testing environment, with access to teams around the globe.
- Improve power utilization and air-conditioning efficiency in the lab.
- Share resources within and across labs, better leverage existing equipment.
Our suite of advanced orchestration and lab automation interconnectivity solutions can literally transform your lab infrastructure. For SAN providers, our solutions span:
- Fiber Channel physical layer switches with thousands of ports for interconnecting three classes of devices – Hosts, SAN Switches, and Storage devices – and Analyzers.
- Distributed-lab consolidation software allowing multiple labs to be used as a single "Virtual Lab".
- Inventory management and reservation software to ensure that you can always find and schedule the lab equipment you need.
- Graphical test-bed/topology design tools that can use the Layer 1 and Layer 2 switching to connect your devices-under-test (DUT) together at the time of your scheduled reservation.
- Automated power management software linked to the reservation and scheduling system, ensuring that equipment is only ON when it is in use.
- Collaboration software enabling teams to concurrently access DUT, fostering collaboration locally or globally.
- Software to develop and execute automated Test Plans, including automated connection, configuration, execution, report generation and reconfiguration.
- Comprehensive data mining and reporting tools to evaluate lab efficiency and to provide the information needed to make timely decisions on when and where to deploy capital and labor.
