FICON Test Solutions for Traffic Generation and Analysis

SierraNet Protocol AnalyzerSierraNet Protocol Analyzer

Advanced FICON test solutions enabling traffic generation, deep protocol analysis, and performance validation for IBM Z storage, replication, and mixed-SAN environments

Teledyne LeCroy’s FICON test solutions for traffic generation and analysis provide comprehensive visibility into IBM Z storage connectivity over Fibre Channel fabrics. Supporting full FC-SB-3 protocol decoding and zHPF workflows, these solutions enable detailed capture and analysis across switched-FICON and mixed FICON/FCP SAN environments. Advanced timing, correlation, and latency diagnostics help identify channel-program behavior, reconnect events, and performance bottlenecks across data rates from 1G to 32G. Designed for storage vendor validation, FinTech and enterprise IBM Z operations, disaster recovery replication monitoring, and intermix SAN troubleshooting, these tools ensure reliable, high-performance mainframe I/O and long-distance data protection.

SierraNet Ethernet Protocol Analyzer and Jammer

The SierraNet Family of Fibre Channel Protocol Analyzers delivers high-fidelity capture, deep trace visibility, and precise FC-2/FC-4 decoding for 1G–128G Fibre Channel. In addition to comprehensive protocol analysis, SierraNet systems support advanced jamming and targeted error-injection to validate robustness and debug link issues. Optional exerciser functionality further extends the platform, enabling controlled test stimulus when required across modern SAN environments.
