Imagine a world where you can…
Cut through the massive costs/efforts Reduce hardware dependency
Drastically simplify validation of complex sensor states/error conditions
Seamlessly execute automation for every build without worrying about the infrastructure availability
Why Z10N

ZION creates real world lab environment with thousands of devices at the fraction of cost forphysical devices.
The best advice to those about to embark on a very large simulation is
often the same as Punch’s famous advice to those about to marry: Don’t !
– Bratley, Fox and Schrage (1986)
Wha
t is Z
10N
?
Rapid recording of required devices over multipleprotocols.
Easy deployment of recorded device simulationacross thousands of nodes
Supports device communication over multipleinterfaces like Redfish, WSMAN, WMI, SNMP, SSH,etc.

Server, storage and networking device simulation at scale with containersAt any Enterprise hardware company, one of our topmost goal is to deliver products on time with highestquality. Our challenge is to develop and test as thoroughly and efficiently as we can, given our time andresource constraints. Hardware availability happens to be scarce which results in design, development andtests getting pushed right. Products are developed and tested under non-scaled environments for just a fewfinite states, again impacting quality. Reduced quality would inherently further increase the costs and efforts.Z10N would help create real world lab environment with thousands of server, storage, networking hardwaredevices at the fraction of cost for physical devices which would help the organization to: Cut through the massive costs/efforts Reduce vendor/hardware dependency Enable rapid prototyping Drastically simplify design & validation of complex sensor states/error conditions Seamlessly design & develop products, execute automation & non-functional tests at will without worrying
about the hardware availabilityLearn how you could simulate a hardware device and create thousands of clones for the same in just a fewminutes with 99% reduction in expenditure.This device simulation solution is already helping DellEMC make better, faster products and with its capabilitiesit’s surely getting DellEMC the "Power to do more".
