Description

KEY FEATURES

Hypermetrics multi-core processing architecture:

•  Enhanced realism with scalability and performance— HyperMetrics scales in three dimensions: ports, network emulation and application traffic
•  Complete Test Coverage—Generate stateful multi-play traffic over emulated network topologies
•  Dynamic Multi-core Processing—CPU resources can be allocated across the ports to meet the scale, performance and functionality required.
•  Future-Proof Design—Delivers the performance needed today, and the investment protection for testing tomorrow’s network

BENEFITS

Traditional test module design fixes CPU resources to specific ports. These 1-dimenstional architectures necessitate three hardware designs to achieve the usage goals of high port scalability, virtual network emulation and high-capacity application traffic. HyperMetrics’ architecture relegates these design limitations to the past.

•  Test in a realistic network and user environment—Dropped packets, latency, think times and click-aways reveal how your applications will perform in your production network.  Test with your unique mix of traffic—With its unparalleled support for a wide variety of protocols, supported by multi-core processing, HyperMetrics AP enables you to test your networks and applications with your unique traffic mix. In addition, you can capture traffic from custom applications and replay them using the Avalanche Solution on Spirent TestCenter.
•  Reduce time to test—Built-in samples get you started with testing. Support for automation helps you repeat tests quickly.
•  One tool for most of your testing needs—Test a range of devices including but not limited to firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, proxy and caching servers, URL and cache filters, traffic accelerators, mail and Web servers, IPSec and SSL VPN gateways, Windows and Real media servers.

APPLICATIONS

•  Triple Play Testing—Test network design, rollout and service from the user’s point of view (quality of experience) using realistic voice calling, unicast and multicast streaming videos with Internet traffic in a single test—true user emulation testing.
•  Security Testing and Vulnerability Assessment—Verify viruses, Denial of Service attacks and other malicious content are stopped while legitimate traffic is forwarded with acceptable performance in the presence of realistic line-rate traffic.
•  Network Device Testing—Perform vendor trials, acceptance testing, system tests and configuration optimization testing under realistic and maximum traffic and user conditions.
•  Line-Rate Web Application Testing—Ensure that your e-commerce and business applications are ready for peak traffic times, such as Black Friday. Scale up to and beyond expected loads with real transactional traffic, protocol emulation and user behavior emulation.
