Spirent’s virtualization and cloud test solutions enable you to architect the modern software-defined data centers that is ready to use and deliver next-generation apps and services, from anywhere. High-speed Ethernet Ethernet speeds are increasing. Networks are becoming more intelligent. Topologies are scaling to sizes never seen before. Spirent’s high-speed Ethernet portfolio allows you to quickly and confidently launch products and services dependent on the emerging cost-effective, high-speed and high density 100G, 50G, 40G, 25G, and 10G technologies. Explore high-speed Ethernet → Data center integrity Data center overlay technologies like VXLAN and EVPN let you maximize the scale of your cloud networks and storage. But how will you keep your data center overlays in check? Spirent can validate network programmability of the switching fabric at scale with large number of nodes and new protocols. Explore Data Center → OpenFlow networks With OpenFlow specifications changing rapidly, are your network’s controllers or switches ready to handle the stress of a real-time programmable network? Spirent can help you validate and deploy SDN opportunistically in a multitude of real-world scenarios of Functional and Performance testing. Explore OpenFlow → Virtual platform optimization Validating throughput and scalability of virtual infrastructure is critical to ensure cloud service excellence. Spirent can help benchmark and optimize the performance of your entire data center and cloud infrastructure including network virtualization and cloud platforms like OpenStack, VMware vCloud and CloudStack. Explore Virtual → Cloud and SLA Validation If you don’t know how your virtual infrastructure performs, it’s tough to create SLAs for globally-distributed customers. Spirent Cloud testing solutions will allow you to benchmark and optimize the performance of virtualized networks and cloud infrastructure, there by maximizing your cloud investments. Explore Cloud → SDN and NFV revolution OpenFlow-based SDN can accelerate NFV deployments by offering a scalable, elastic, and on-demand architecture well suited for both virtual and physical networking infrastructures. Spirent’s test solutions ensure the scalability and reliability of cloud infrastructures and providing end-to-end visibility for SLA validation. Explore SDN → Next-generation networks New demands are forcing service providers and enterprises to evolve their networks quickly—creating highly complex, multi-layer architectures.
