TOYOTech and Garland Technology Team Up in Strategic Partnership

SYNESIS and Garland Technology kick off full packet visibility in High Speed Ethernet Networks with a Special Price Promotion

FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TOYOTech, a wholly owned subsidiary of TOYO Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange 1st Division, Code:8151), and Garland Technology today announced a broad technical partnership.

Garland Technology, headquartered in Buffalo, NY, is an industry leader in providing network access products that offer full packet visibility for complex data center environments. Garland has experienced tremendous growth in the past few years. Recently, the company was named one of the fastest growing companies in the Buffalo region. TOYO Corporation has successfully carried Garland Technology’s products in the Japanese and APAC regions. So, it is only logical to carry this partnership into the North America markets. Garland Technology’s full line of network TAPs and Network Packet Brokers are an ideal match for TOYO Corporation’s SYNESIS packet capture system. The combined solution is data center ready and opens up new markets in security and finance for our partners.

TOYO’s SYNESIS is the only packet capture system that can record packet data without loss up to 100GbE. This is a game changer solution for network teams that depend on packet-level visibility for troubleshooting issues in high speed networks.

“Mirroring data traffic into network analyzers has been problematic due to the many capture points, often varying in speeds and physical configurations. Garland Technology solves that problem with their powerful lines of TAPs and Network Packet Brokers,” said Frank Rubio, Senior Director of Business Development, Garland Technology. “TOYO SYNESIS is a great addition to Garland’s technology partner ecosystem since the solution provides line rate packet capture from 1GbE up to 100GbE without packet loss. This combination simplifies deployment and reduces cost and footprint.”

TOYO Corporation, which has been successfully reselling Garland Technology TAPs combined with matching SYNESIS models in the Japanese and APAC regions, established this technology partnership as a best-of-class network visibility solution.

“Part of our network division’s success in the past few years has been due to our partnership with Garland Technology. We’re looking forward to repeating that success outside of Japan. Our common channel partners will have the optimal solution for teams that require full packet visibility in the most demanding environments,” said Tatsushi Nakamura, Global Business Manager, TOYO Corporation.

For our shared channel partners, the joint solution will negate the performance limitations they’ve been facing in their current offerings, especially with the increased popularity of 40G and 100G.

“Garland Technology will allow my customers to see and analyze all of their data from any location, no matter at what speed. Now we have a great solution for my customers where Garland Technology TAPs and network packet brokers provide the visibility and SYNESIS records all. When a network outage occurs, packets are available to determine root cause,” said Chris Johnson, President, OASYS Corp. “For security breaches, detailed forensic research is possible since even the lowest volume flows would have been recorded.”

To kick off this partnership the two companies are offering a special certified entry-level SYNESIS portable and TAP joint solution (https://toyotechus.com/10g_synesis_promotion/). Any packet visibility requirement though, can be met given the numerous TAP and SYNESIS models from both Garland Technology and TOYO Corporation, respectively.

2018 Automotive Testing Expo Recap

November 5, 2018

In my career, I have attended more exhibitions and tradeshows than I would like to remember.  However, the Novi, Michigan event that took place during the week of October 22 in Michigan was very memorable for me.  Perhaps it was because it was the first time I had ever attended (and exhibited at) at an automotive focused show.  I have worked in a number of different industries prior to joining TOYOTech including consumer electronics, enterprise data storage, networking and computing.  But the Automotive Testing Expo was a new experience for me and some of my colleagues. 

There were over 300 exhibiting companies and the event was held at a venue called the Suburban Collection Showplace.  The organizers billed the event as “offering attendees the opportunity to meet hundreds of the world’s most innovative automotive test, evaluation and quality engineering technology developers.”  This was an understatement.  Exhibiting companies showcased products that span that full array of development, test and measurement solutions for electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles.    It was difficult to walk the floor and not see things that you had ever seen before or products that warranted a further, closer look.  Take a look at some of the pictures we took at the event on Google Photos.

At the TOYO booth, we focused our efforts on the Rototest dynamometers, a more cost-effective and easier way to perform traditional powertrain testing and measurements.   Although we did not bring actual production versions of the dynamometer to the show, we brought the next best thing: scaled down fully operating models.  It was an instant hit.  And our booth area was constantly filled with visitors.  Many came by to watch our model car execute turns on the dynamometers that were attached to them.  You can find a video of our model dynamometers at this link.

We also previewed our Rototest X Simulator.  This solution is integrated with Rototest dynamometers allowing one to not only simulate true road conditions but also to visualize them in real time.  The following link takes you to a linkedin post which contains a video showing how this work. 

In addition to support from the US TOYOTech team, we also had support from our colleagues from TOYO Japan and a key member of the Rototest team.  And through the three days of exhibitions, we collectively talked to many hundreds of folks that passed by our booth area about our automotive test solutions.

There were multiple occasions where a visitor would come by our booth, reviewed our offerings, talked to our staff and then return several hours or a day later with a colleague or their manager to show them what they have seen or heard.  I do not recall this happening often at the tradeshows I have staffed in the past. 

Thank you to everyone that stopped by the TOYO booth.  We and we look forward to seeing you again at this event next year.
