The Spirent Avalanche™ Layer 4-7 solution provides security, attack and performance testing for network infrastructures, web application infrastructures, virtual/cloud infrastructures and triple play services.

Because of the power to emulate real-world users, network conditions, and stateful traffic at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, Avalanche provides a full service view of how users experience application and content availability, allowing you to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) for your customers.

With the industry-unique capacity, scalability, and flexibility of Avalanche you can find and fix problems at the most economical point in the schedule, before release, reducing not only costs but also support issues. Increase your competitive edge by releasing on time with better product quality.
