Calabasas: Ixia, provider of converged IP network test solutions has unveiled its new testing architecture, Xcellon that breaks the terabit traffic generation barrier for testing evolving media-rich networks.
Xcellon's high-density architecture features the ability to combine the processing power of up to four multi-core CPUs to deliver up to 12X the per-port performance of the nearest competitor, claims the company.
The Xcellon-Flex product line breaks the terabit traffic generation barrier, with full layer 2-7 core network testing. Xcellon-Flex also provides double the port density, and 12 times the per-port performance of competitive solutions, while using 30 percent less power than the previous generation of 10 GE ports.
The Xcellon-Ultra product line, with its extreme capacity and security acceleration, is designed to exceed the thresholds of tomorrow's multiplay services, application delivery infrastructure, and security platforms. It delivers the highest 10 GE application performance, and can generate up to 80 gigabits of line-rate stateful traffic and 40 gigabits of IPsec encrypted traffic. With Xcellon-Ultra, test engineers can emulate up to 24 million concurrent Internet video streams.
Xcellon is designed to adapt and fully support the data center convergence and cloud-computing paradigms that are changing the dynamics of business IT. "Service providers and equipment manufacturers must test at a previously unheard of level to keep pace with the network traffic demands of their customers," said Atul Bhatnagar, CEO and President of Ixia. "Ixia has concentrated its 13+ years of network testing experience to develop an architecture that can meet the future challenges of large-scale network testing. Flexible configuration of hardware resources enables us to match and adapt to the next-generation of testing needs," he added.
