SANBlaze Target Emulation
SAN Blaze

SANBlaze Technology

SANBlaze Technology, Inc. was founded in the Spring of 2003. As a developer and manufacturer of storage adapters for the embedded market, we could not find anything that allowed us to inject errors or simulate a wide range of target disk conditions to test our products properly or cost effectively. So we decided to make one ourselves. Now, in addition to a growing line of embedded storage adapters and blades, we also provide a complete line of SAN Target Emulation Systems.

The SANBlaze VirtuaLUN Target Emulation System went through extensive alpha and beta testing in the first half of 2004, and shipped to our first customer in June of 2004. Since that time, we have delivered the product to an increasing list of SAN hardware, software and HBA vendors. A constantly evolving product, we have delivered 6 software upgrades, each addition incorporating many new features that our existing customers had asked for. In August of 2005, we added to the product solution suite with the addition of 4 G Fibre Channel Support. In October of 2005, we delivered a SAS Version of the product and our December 2005 software release adds support for Tape Emulation.

2006 product releases will include the GargantuLUN family, providing higher port density in the form of a 24 port, 2G Fibre Channel version and a 12 port, 4G fibre Channel version.

Other 2006 product plans include the SANBlazter family of Initiator emulation solutions.

The name VirtuaLUN comes from the fact that the product provides the ability to have virtual "LUNS" or disk drives. Truthfully, no one uses this name. Some people call it just the SANBlaze, the SANBlazer, the SANbolizer, the Target Emulator and a number of other names that the engineers here think are very funny but wouldn't really look good on a datasheet. Current goofy names being thrown about for the SAS version include the SASinator or the SAS-inkulator. Frankly, were not all that concerned with what people call it, as long as they call it a great, "indispensable tool that they can't be without." (an actual quote from a customer)

Our embedded storage solutions comprise SCSI and Fibre Channel adapters, as well as a growing list of enterprise level storage blades delivered for embedded platforms like CompactPCI and AdvancedTCA. We provide these commercial off the shelf (COTS) products directly to end users, as well as on an OEM basis through leading manufacturers in the embedded computing market.

We are a well funded, private company, started by entrepreneurs and business people who have founded and grown successful, customer focused technology companies prior to beginning SANBlaze.
