Calypso test platforms come in standard or custom configurations. CTS will test any logical device recognized by CentOS 6.x. SAS, SATA & PCIe devices (with CentOS compliant device drivers) can be configured in standard 4 slot DUT towers or motherboard PCIe bus slots, in 12 slot Multi-Port chasis, or in custom hardware enclosures. CTS can accommodate other interfaces with suitable electro-mechanical adapters (M.2, SATA Express, mSATA, FCoE, etc.). Additional options can be provided, including auxiliary Heat/Cold environmental chambers.
