Spirent announced that it is adding Spirent Avalanche’s application performance and security testing capabilities to Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics mX 40/100G module.
This enhanced module addresses line rate 40Gbps layer 4-7 application performance on high-speed 40/100G Ethernet systems. The new capability allows test engineers to do more with their testing
resources and enables the testing of highly realistic user and business workloads over 40G and 100G Ethernet interfaces.
The Ethernet testing module has the ability to assess stateful layer 4-7 traffic and layer 2-3 traffic on a single module. This will help to reduce the amount of test equipment required in a lab, while expanding the number of devices that can be tested simultaneously through the industry’s highest-density interfaces.
“Network equipment manufacturers, service providers and data center operators face many challenges in today’s highly competitive, quickly-changing business environment,” said Michael Howard, principal analyst, Carrier Networks, at Infonetics Research.
“It is critical for test engineers to have efficient tools that quicken the development process in order to get 40GE and 100GE to a waiting market, and this includes the critical elements of QoE and
QoS, parameters that are growing in importance for service differentiation,” Howard added.
The combined high-performance stateful traffic, high-scale routing, access and mobile control plane characteristics on a single module allow HyperMetrics mX 40/100G module to deliver the highest density high-speed Ethernet test solution per rack unit, while ensuring the delivery of a complete mobile multi-play experience.
“With its design focused on providing realism with performance at scale, it is the first solution to validate stateful applications traffic on high-speed Ethernet interfaces. By extending the benefits of HyperMetrics mX, we’ve allowed existing Spirent TestCenter customers to leverage a single module for an even wider range of needs. At the same time, it enables the testing of more devices simultaneously using fewer products than in the past, ultimately helping to reduce associated costs,” said Ankur Chadda, product marketing manager at Spirent.
Recently, Spirent Communications announced the launch of a new product offering for mobile device designers and developers.
The Spirent CS8 Wireless Device Design tester is targeted at engineers who design cellular phones, tablets, data cards and machine-to-machine cellular modules, bundles network emulation with innovative testing software and subject matter expertise into a package that addresses the needs of design engineers.
