X-Ray Downloads and Documentation

X-Ray is a comprehensive testing solution enabling organizations to evaluate the architectural differences between hyperconverged infrastructures, automating the analysis of consistent performance and reliability, with scenarios that negatively affect applications, such as the impact of taking many disk snapshots, or node failures in existing mission-critical application clusters.

X-Ray is packaged as a VM and uses realistic workloads paired with real-world scenarios to simulate various workflows and events that typically occur during datacenter hyperconverged infrastructure lifecycles.

The key X-Ray 3.0 enhancements include:

• X-Ray testing code has now been made open-source
• Test scenario improvements for network bandwidth evaluations
• Usability enhancements including test pre-checks, a direct UI feedback option and improved reporting
