Ixia introduced its new PerfectStorm validation and testing platform.
As complex applications and virtualization continue to increase data center infrastructure risks, PerfectStorm, within a single chassis, mitigates against these risks by generating real application and malicious traffic at scales of nearly one terabit.
PerfectStorm also scales to handle high session rates, supporting 24 million connections per a second and up to 720 million concurrent sessions, similar to the nearly every person in Europe initiating an Internet search.
Data center operators and network equipment manufacturers demand systems that perform at the levels required to test and ensure the resiliency of the data center infrastructure. The PerfectStorm platform provides modular scalability, achieving near terabit levels of mixed application and malicious traffic to securely test all elements of today’s complex data centers, including server applications, storage workloads and networking elements.
In a single 11U chassis, PerfectStorm enables comprehensive data center validation by seamlessly unifying the IxLoad and BreakingPoint software applications into a single system to deliver:
- Data center testing performance with nearly a terabit of traffic equaling 720 million concurrent TCP sessions at 24 million sessions per second.
- 960 Gbps of blended application traffic, including over 200 application protocols and over 35,000 malicious attacks, to validate every element of the data center with confidence, including applications, security, storage, networking, voice and video, at any scale with a single platform.
- The industry’s highest performance density solution available, delivering in an 11U form factor the performance that requires over 25 feet of rack space from the competition, reducing data center costs for space, cooling and electricity.
- Actionable insight to understand how networks will react based on real-world assessment of any data center infrastructure weaknesses.
- Support for the latest high-density connectivity options with 8x10Gbps and 2x40Gbps interfaces per blade, which will enable rapid data center adoption while not taking up entire racks of space in the data center.
- Easy-to-set-up-and –use management of the high-scale and multi-user system.
