Converged IP Testing for Network Equipment Manufacturers
A Complete Line of Test Equipment and Applications to Support Manufacturers of Networking Equipment
Equipment manufacturers (NEMs) who develop networking products have unique requirements to create products that implement standardized protocols, function under heavy load scenarios and perform reliably under a broad range of conditions. The increasing complexity of protocols and services are causing test development costs to rise due to a lack of testing expertise and increasing test cycle time.
Ixia offers a complete range of test products to help NEMs accelerate the delivery of proven, reliable products. Our single platform solution emulates real-world conditions with traffic realism and scale that help deliver higher product quality. Ixia's automation tools enable repeatable, frequent regression testing that results in constant quality.
Ixia tests layer 2-7 networking and application devices of all types:
- Wireline and wireless components and systems
- Routers and switches used in core networks, enterprises and offices
- Multiplay voice, video and data traffic servers, gateways and load balancers
- Specialized security products such as VPN gateways and firewalls
- Data center products for fibre channel convergence and storage area networks
|
Ixia's products are all state-of-the-art, addressing emerging technologies such as:
|
Different types of tests are required to support a complete product life cycle – from the drawing board to the field:
- Conformance – to ensure interoperability through protocol conformance
- Functional testing – to ensure that products correctly perform all required operations, in all combinations
- Performance testing – to ensure that desired throughput, connection count and other capabilities are met
- Security testing – to ensure that products are not vulnerable to failure under attack
- Test automation – to facilitate efficient testing and regression analysis
|
Ixia delivers on these requirements with a range of chassis for portable and lab applications. Each chassis accommodates a number of multi-port interface cards of varying technologies and speeds:
