VALIDATING VIRTUALIZED ASSETS
Problem: Questioning the Cloud
With its promise of cost savings and easy deployment, cloud computing is redefining IT environments. But while virtualization can glean greater value from data center resources, it can also add new layers of complexity to server architecture and network infrastructures. In fact, in order to justify migrating to the cloud, organizations need to be able to deliver the same—or better—performance than traditional networks.
Solution: An Easy and Elastic Tool for Testing and Validation
IxLoad VE supports complete functional and performance testing of virtualized servers and 10GE converged network adapters (CNAs) for cloud computing environments. Using our Virtual Load Modules, IxLoad VE is able to test a host of virtualized assets, including firewalls, deep packet inspection (DPI) devices, load balancers, and other network devices.
IxLoad VE works by emulating web, video, voice, storage, VPN, wireless, infrastructure, and encapsulation/security protocols to recreate real-world IT scenarios. A modular system design ensures it can scale with growing infrastructures. And because network degradations and breaking points demand fast remedial action, IxLoad VE consistently delivers real-time quality-of-experience metrics. What’s more, IxLoad VE’s user-friendliness means that even protocol novices can achieve end-to-end service validation.
