NVMe Testing Software
IOL INTERACT™
IOL INTERACT™ software expedites and automates the testing of NVMe SSDs and NVMe-oF products. It is used to test products for inclusion on the NVMe Integrator's List. Members of the UNH-IOL NVMe Testing Services are entitled to a copy of INTERACT™ for in-house testing to ensure that their products will meet the Integrator's list requirements when submitted for testing. While most test requirements can be performed with the PC edition tool, a subset of tests specific to PCIe products are only available on the Teledyne-LeCroy tool, which require low level traffic generation capability.
