Advancing with Technology
Are traffic shaping and policy management squeezing the most from our metro aggregation network? Networks, network devices, and service offerings are becoming increasingly complex. The need for more bandwidth to handle applications such as IPTV, video, peer-to-peer sharing, and wireless backhaul is driving the creation of cutting-edge technologies. Adoption of advanced technologies, protocols, and policies help service providers get the competitive advantages of improved performance, service quality, bandwidth, and cost efficiencies.
Own Your Destiny
Service providers cannot rely solely on equipment specifications provided by device manufacturers because they do not take into account the way the device will work in your particular network, running your particular service offerings, under the actual use load of your subscriber base.
Your devices, networks, protocols, and services, not just individually, but together, need pre-deployment testing to ensure interoperability, performance, and scalability.
Simulate Users so You Won't Lose Them
Ixia offers the industry's most comprehensive functional and performance testing solution by emulating routing, switching, MPLS, IP multicast, broadband, and authentication protocols. To verify real-world quality of service (QoS), Ixia simulates user communities that match the behavior of city-size groups using multiplay services such as web, e-mail, FTP, peer-to-peer (P2P), voice over IP (VoIP), and video. Ixia's testing capabilities scale to stress the largest and most powerful networking devices.

Wireless

Managing the Masses
Are your capacity planning and network refined to avoid service degradation when millions of smartphones are live in a metro area?
We have entered the mobile broadband era, and operators world-wide are preparing their networks to handle massive amounts of converged multiplay traffic (voice, video, and data). Wireless service providers have unique challenges as they implement the technologies necessary to deliver increased capacity, higher quality of service (QoS), improved performance, innovative pricing tiers, and increased security protection. Validating equipment, networks, and services prior to deployment is the only way to ensure it all operates as planned.
Harness the Power of Emerging Technologies
3G high-speed packet access (HSPA)/HSPA+ rollouts are ongoing and LTE commercial deployments are rapidly accelerating. Emerging 4G technologies are complex and must support mobility with existing 2G and 3G networks for a seamless transition and a positive user experience.
Verify Your Wireless Network from End to End
Ixia provides the industry's most comprehensive wireless test portfolio, encompassing both deep functional testing and high-scale capacity and performance testing across multiple technology generations.

Data Center

Where ROI Converges - How well does everything scale?
Today's trends toward consolidating data centers and converging systems mandates an even more strategic approach to designing, deploying and defining the value of major investments and initiatives. In particular, virtualization , 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet rollouts, IPv6 and the bridging of local and storage area networks (LANs and SANs) can vastly impact availability, security and ultimate customer satisfaction.
Ever-rising user expectations warrant unprecedented insight into the limits and benefits of the data center architecture - next-generation switches, servers, converged network adapters (CNAs) , storage systems and cloud-based services – to ensure infrastructures are rock solid, high-performing and scalable. Comprehensive pre-deployment testing during the R & D phase of data center deployments delivers actionable information needed to safeguard response times, security, satisfaction, and ROI.
Testing Performance and Security From the Customer to the Cloud
Amidst the growing complexity of today's converged data center, thoroughly assessing the impact of the network infrastructure and configuration on application and server performance proves essential in maintaining high availability and ROI. Ixia offers an end-to-end test solution with the breadth and depth required to assess data center efficiency from the ground up, including the only unified test platform able to benchmark converged data centers and virtualized resources. By simulating cloud-based services and loading systems with Internet and server-to-server traffic, Ixia equips data center architects and operations teams to address both perennial and product-driven data center initiatives:

  • Proof of concept
  • Benchmarking performance of blade servers, hypervisors, virtual switches, Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), FC / FCoE bridging solutions within target data centers
  • Assessing investments in virtualization, bandwidth, WAN optimization
  • Measuring the ability of prospective designs and devices to deliver services to internal and external customers
  • Quantifying the impact of network latency, loss, jitter on application performance
  • Verifying service provider SLA compliance
  • Proactively isolating potential problem hotspots
  • Generating security attacks to help optimize firewalls, load balancing, etc.

Ixia's comprehensive suite of pre-deployment testing solutions enables the comparison, tweaking and other proactive benchmarking and troubleshooting needed to eliminate costly surprises for the life of deployments.
