&& PREVIOUS FINALIST | MAIN | NEXT FINALIST >> Category: Network, timing, and BER test Finalist: IxNetwork with ViperCore technology, Ixia  As networking devices become increasingly complex, the equipment used to analyze and assess their performance must also be highly sophisticated in design. Ixia’s IxNetwork with its new ViperCore technology meets this requirement and is specifically targeted for performance and functionality testing of high-speed, high-capacity routers, switches, and application servers. Ixia says its ViperCore technology is the highest performing and most scalable application traffic generation solution available. Vipercore’s high-productivity features test routers and other devices by emulating large numbers of service users, instances, and sites spanning multiple administrative domains and underlying technologies. It offers complete layer 2–7 packet generation, routing, and application testing functionality, and its customized FPGAs are used to create multiple, dedicated network processors that transmit and capture application traffic. The ViperCore technology provides network equipment manufacturers, enterprises, and telecom operators with true service modeling at a very high scale, accelerating product time-to-market with rapid automation of complex scenarios that may occur during usage of the product being tested, and enabling instantaneous pin-pointing of service violations. In addition, the technology lets testing engineers generate traffic profiles with SLA measurements and the ability to adjust the test on-the-fly. IxNetwork with ViperCore offers the flexibility to customize the application to meet a range of requirements for testing complex network topologies consisting of thousands of network devices. It uses multiple specialized, dynamically configured network processors that deliver performance not possible with standard architectures. It provides a cost-effective test solution that enable network equipment manufacturers to completely test their products for the capacity and functionality that next-generation data centers currently require, and it can easily scale upward as those requirements increase. |
