What is Cloud Core?

Cloud Core delivers a major leap forward in performance and scalability, and enhances Spirent TestCenter features with elastic scaling of protocols.

Spirent TestCenter Cloud Core™ is based on patent-pending technologies all designed to add native elastic computing to the Spirent TestCenter Layer 2-7 performance software platform. With Cloud Core, users optimize testing tasks with parallel processing including pooling resources across any number of test ports. Tests beds built on the Cloud Core architecture provide an exceptional combination of scalable performance and realism, and are ideal for testing the most complex converged IP systems, such as the cloud data centers and 4G/LTE mobile networks.
