Ixia announced the expansion of its Xcellon-Multis portfolio of products with a native 12-port 40GbE load module.
Enabling the validation of large-scale data center networking ecosystems with the addition of the high port density modules and the 10GbE fan-out functionality, the Xcellon-Multis solution gives enterprises and service providers the ability to perform higher speed Ethernet testing as well as the confidence that their networks will run at optimum performance.
With growing bandwidth demands from cloud applications, video streaming and other mixed-media data, networking technologies must scale to include higher-density high-speed ports in order to meet consumer demands for a reliable quality of experience. At the same time, enterprises, service providers and equipment manufacturers require solutions that test and validate these technologies and their associated networks, while not increasing costs.
Ixia’s Xcellon-Multis meets these demands as a solution to test and validate networks with stateful traffic, with support for mixed application traffic starting in the second quarter of 2014, at 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE speeds – all with a smaller footprint, reduced operating costs and fan-out technology to enable multiple speeds from a single test port.
Xcellon-Multis provides a comprehensive way to test, assess and validate large scale and port count networks in order to keep pace with increasing bandwidth requirements from complex and rapidly growing Internet traffic. Testing the scalability of high-density data center switches is vital to data centers operators and equipment manufacturers.
The Xcellon-Multis scales up to hundreds of 40GbE and 100GbE ports while also providing:
- The industry’s highest port density with the new 12x40GbE and 6x40GbE native QSFP variants, which provide customers the unique ability to test and validate networking technologies with the industry’s highest port 100/40/10GbE density for HSE testing solutions.
- Fan-out functionality to reduce the cost and equipment needed for increased port density and greater support for 10GbE testing.
- Continued versatility with the option to test higher speed Ethernet from 10GbE up to 100GbE on a single load module.
