SmartNIC interoperability testing

Client: Enterprise infrastructure company | Outcome: One coordinated workflow for SmartNIC testing across operating systems and server environments.

Interoperability across server environments

Changing hardware combinations, software states, and network configurations required a repeatable validation approach across the product engineering workflow.

  • Coordinate provisioning and topology setup
  • Adapt NIC management for Windows
  • Exercise networking feature scenarios
  • Verify device data through iDRAC

Engineering teams could evaluate more platform conditions within one coordinated workflow. Calsoft incorporated setup, tooling, feature tests, and management checks into the existing IOTA framework.
