EXFO announced the addition of Fibre Channel and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) test capabilities to its NetBlazer multiservice testers. Housed in the FTB-1 platform, NetBlazer series testers provide frontline technicians with fast, intuitive and portable test solutions.
Launched nine months ago, the NetBlazer series has quickly gained market acceptance, with 10 of the world’s 15 largest operators having selected the flagship FTB-880 NetBlazer Multiservice Tester for their network deployments. The new Fibre Channel function offers a range of interfaces – 1, 2, 4, 8, 10X. These added capabilities extend the NetBlazer’s reach to include storage area networks (SANs) for cloud-based applications, data centres and financial communities.
The new Fibre Channel capabilities can be enabled on existing field units via a simple on-site software upgrade; they do not require a factory return.
