Spirent helps its customers become market leaders by providing test realism. Realism is the foundation of meaningful test results. It is based on two essential components: Fidelity and scalability.

Faithfully creating the behavior of devices, systems, networks and users, and scaling that emulation from the network level to the city, country and even continent level.

Unlike traditional test systems that have a single-dimensional focus that sacrifices realism and performance for scalability (port density), HyperMetrics leverages its multi-core architecture to offer cost effective, high-port density modules with flexibility, high functionality and realism. This industry first architecture advantage enables performance to be optimized for Enhanced realism, Scalability/Performance and Intelligent Results.

HyperMetrics and Spirent TestCenter

Using the Spirent TestCenter platform, the HyperMetrics family of modules is the industry-first multi-core and multi-threaded architecture that tests realism.

What's the Spirent Difference?

Traditional

Traditional test systems with a single-dimension focus sacrifice realism and performance for port density.

Spirent TestCenter

HyperMetrics dynamic multi-core processing can switch from core-per-port operation to use multiple cores to drive all ports. That means Spirent customers have the power to create real-world tests that deliver more information in less time to build better products faster. Like a market leader should. 

Benefits

HyperMetrics Benefits
