[aperi-news] Aperi Storage Network Simulator available for download

[Tom Guinane <guinane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Aperi project announces the first
release of the Storage Network Simulator.  The simulator is a tool
that enables you to simulate a storage area network (SAN) through software.
You can create a SAN configuration, add devices to the SAN, create arbitrary
connections between devices, and remove connections between devices. Using
this tool to create a simulated SAN environment can help when you:

• Have limited or no access to hardware and software when developing and testing SRM applications
• Have "off-line"' access to SAN devices without impacting the performance of the real network (such as the SNIA lab or any SAN in the world).
• Need to perform "what-if" analysis before you plan to extend or reconfigure your SAN

The
SAN Simulator provides an increase in productivity and efficiency for Aperi
development and testing by removing the dependence on device availability.

The Storage Network Simulator is now
available for download at: http://www.eclipse.org/aperi/downloads.php

Install instructions are available from the same page, or at http://www.eclipse.org/aperi/documentation/r4/install_simulator.php

Cheers,   Tom
