Anritsu Introduces High Performance
BERT to Verify Next-Generation High
Speed Interface Designs
Anritsu Corporation has introduced the Signal Quality Analyzer (SQA) MP1900A BERT, a
versatile solution that can measure next generation PCI Express Gen 4 and Gen 5 buses, as
well as the latest 400GbE/200GbE Ethernet networks.
With comprehensive interface support, the MP1900A is an all-in-one solution that
accurately measures next generation high speed electronic and optical devices, and optical
transceivers used in high end servers, communications equipment and optical transceivers/
modules, including those for M2M and IoT applications.
The SQA MP1900A high performance Bit Error Rate Testers (BERTs) can accurately
evaluate high speed interface designs during the early
development stage. Its all-in-one,
highly extendible platform
can measure performance of
network side interfaces, such as
400GbE, 200GbE, and 100GbE,
as well as internal PCI Express
bus interfaces, to help speed
design evaluation times and
lower cost-of-test.

StorageOS Releases Public Beta
of its Persistent Storage Solution
for Docker Users
StorageOS has announced the availability of the public beta release of its software
storage solution. StorageOS is a software based, policy driven, distributed storage
platform designed and built by a team of architects, engineers and developers from
major financial services organisations to solve the real world problems they faced in
their former jobs.
Following private beta testing with trial users in media and financial services
industries, StorageOS is publishing its public beta release of the software free to
developers on the Docker Store. StorageOS has recently achieved Docker Certified
status for its managed volume plugin and is available on the Docker Store at https://
store.docker.com/plugins/storageos. The software enables users to benefit from high
performance, highly available persistent storage. Users get started by simply deploying
a 40MB container on 64-bit Linux.
The StorageOS beta software has no hardware or kernel dependencies and can
be installed in the cloud, in VMs, or bare metal with a single command. StorageOS
is ideal for developers wanting to deploy highly available databases in containerised
apps within seconds; delivering a simple to use interface that is tightly integrated with
Docker, making it easy for developers to deploy enterprise storage for their applications
wherever it is needed.

Asperitas
launches first
Immersed
Computing
solution
for cloud
datacentres
Asperitas has launched its first
market ready solution, the
AIC24, at Data Centre World &
Cloud Expo Europe.
The Asperitas AIC24 is at the
centre of immersed computing.
It is a closed system and the
first water cooled oil immersion
system which relies on natural
convection for circulation of the
dielectric liquid. This results in a
fully self-contained and Plug and
Play modular system. The AIC24
needs far less infrastructure
than other liquid installations,
saving energy and costs on all
levels of datacentre operations.
The AIC24 is a sustainable
solution, ensuring efficiency in
availability, energy reduction
and reuse, while increasing
capacity. It greatly improves
density, while saving energy at
the same time.
The AIC24 is designed to
ensure continuity for cloud
providers. Total immersion
ensures no oxygen gets in
touch with the IT components,
preventing oxidation. Thermal
shock is greatly reduced due to
the high heat capacity of liquid.
The immersed environment
only has minor temperature
fluctuations, greatly reducing
stress by thermal expansion on
micro-electronics. These factors
eliminate the root cause for
most of the physical degradation
of micro-electronics over time.
