The Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics AP test modules introduce a new paradigm in network infrastructure, security and application testing. The HyperMetrics architecture uses leading-edge multi-core processing, allocating CPU resources on demand, to create enhanced realism with the scalability and performance required to test tomorrow’s networks. This architecture provides the highest level of capacity, user emulation, and application test services from network access to application transaction.
-
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 linerate 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
The HyperMetrics AP (Application Performance) 8-port 1GbE and 2-port 10GbE test modules support line rate Avalanche application trafficto deliver the highest performance Layer 4-7, security and vulnerability assessment test solution in the industry.
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 and high-capacity application traffic. HyperMetrics’ architecture relegates these design limitations to the past.
