    Security in Application Aware Networks  

    Do you have a way to validate the reliability, performance, and quality of new Network, Device, and Service deployments, before user traffic hits them? Have you always wanted to assure on-going quality, while also being able to detect issues before your users do, in ways never before possible with traditional network testing and monitoring tools?

    Communication is the lifeblood of your Enterprise, and Communication requires rock-solid Networks, Devices, and Services that you can rely on.

    What to Test

    • Networks—jitter, latency, packet loss or misconfigurations on the corporate LAN and WAN need to be discovered and characterized 
    • Devices—Encryption offload, Application Acceleration, Firewalls, WAN caches, and Load Balancers 
    • Services—VoIP, Video conferencing, and other media services that require careful planning and flawless configuration in order to co-exist with your Enterprise data

    Press Releases

    • Huawei Selects Spirent to Validate Performance and Scale of Latest Data Center Solution Oct 15, 2012Spirent today announced that Huawei selected Spirent TestCenter to verify the performance of the newly launched CloudEngine 12800 series data center switches. This test of 384 ports of 10G Ethernet was conducted at massive scale under the most stressful yet realistic conditions, representing China’s first highest port density and TRILL and test.

    Events

    Test Applications

    Networks

    • Packet loss over a certain threshold is the underlying cause of many network issues, including excessive TCP retransmits, leading to latency at the upper layer and a corresponding poor user experience. It is important to baseline the customer’s network to establish the quality of the underlying packet transport prior to doing device or service testing

    HTTP Performance

    • Most business applications are transported over HTTP and HTTPS. This test is used to deliver a report on the ability of the customer’s end to end (or site-to-site) infrastructure to support the HTTP and HTTPS protocols for thousands of users and dozens of servers.

    Packet Loss with QoS

    • Verify your DSCP policies on your routers are working as planned
    • Prove to your customers that even with subscription overload, your DSCP implementations are meeting the requirements for today’s resource-hungry Enterprise networks

    Site-to-Site with SLAs

    • Match your SLAs with traffic high-water marks by sending maximum allowable traffic loads with Spirent’s Enterprise test tool
    • Verify Latency is within tolerances, no matter how far the distance between points
    • Control both C1s from a single browser interface

    Devices

    QoS Through an Edge Router

    • Validate DSCP policies and optional MPLS policies on your routers connected to your Service Providers
    • Ensure configuration at turn up and on-going

    Security Strength

    • Stress the Security infrastructure, including Firewalls, to the maximum advertised performance while ensuring threats are blocked, and good applications get through
    • Verify and assure Security policies are implemented correctly as written and designed

    Services

    IMAP Email Performance

    • Characterize your Email server performance
    • Plan upgrades armed with scaling numbers
    • Ensure installations of Email servers are meeting capacity demands

    Application Performance

    • Produce a report for your customers or verify their ongoing Service Quality with the Spirent Application Performance test (this test includes a common mix of Enterprise protocols such as Email, HTTP, Video and SIP)
    • Metrics are available on Video and Voice Quality, for all traffic types, on every port

    Voice/Video/Data Performance

    • Produce a specific report on Voice and Video quality in the presence of bursty data, while also measuring the number of lost packets
