Hotplug and fault injection for data center & AI systems
The Torridon system is the backbone of automated physical layer testing for data center and AI systems.
The modular design allows testing of a single prototype SSD on an engineers desk, or an entire rack of servers with control over many different devices, controllers, NICs and cables.
-
Zero-Touch Automation: Run thousands of power cycles, hot-swaps, and fault injections without manual intervention.
-
Scenario Testing: Reduce lane width, isolate REFCLK, alter power rail order and run corner-case tests on hot-plug timing
-
Precise Fault Injection: Inject physical layer failures—such as pin bounce, data glitches, sideband failure and much more. Prove your error handling and recovery logic across a vast range of scenarios
-
Seamless Integration: Run a single module on an engineers desk, or automate an entire rack. Simple python automation with no ongoing license fees.
-
All major interfaces: Quarch instruments every major interface: SFF, EDSFF, M.2, MCIO, OCP, USB, RJ45, SFP, AIC and many more. Small runs of custom modules can also be built if we don’t have exactly what you need.
-
Widely proven: Used by most major companies working on SSD design, PCIe & CXL silicon, Telecomms interfacing and more. Quarch Breakers are also part of mandatory testing schedule for NVMe drives at the UNH-IOL Plugfests
