Boston, MA 10/01/2014 (wallstreetpr) – Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA) announced that its higher speed Ethernet (HSE) test solutions (Xcellon-Multis) and iSimCity lab used to test the performance of Cisco Nexus 7718 switch. Miercom, an independent test lab, used the Ixia’s Xcellon-Multis and laboratory to validate the scalability of Cisco Nexus 7718 switch in high networking traffic such as 192 100GbE ports.
Validation
According to the test, the switch scaled the networking traffic up to 19.2 terabytes across 192 100GbE ports. It is also confirming that the Cisco switch can deliver the output at wire speed in IPv4 and IPv6 multicast traffic. In addition, the high-density switch processes real-world MPLS traffic at line rate across the ports with low latency and no loss.
Transition
Networking technologies like 100GbE are one of the essential components in large enterprise data centers as the global service providers need HSE for their performance. The transition in technologies is due to increasing demand in bandwidth require high-speed Ethernet to up the scale and also the performance.
Ixia (NASDAQ:XXIA) is transforming the Ethernet testing environment by developing wide range of network solutions along with the growing demand HSE testing solutions with high power, space and cooling efficiencies.
Ixia’s Xcellon-Multis is next generation architecture to verify the extreme testing needs of networking. The load modules of Xcellon-Multis comprise of high density and HSE (10G, 40G, and 100G) testing equipments.
Conclusion
Ixia (NASDAQ:XXIA) benefits customers while giving innovative, high quality products and solutions that optimize the applications performance.
Cisco’s VP, Product Management, Rajeev Bhardwaj said that Ixia has the capability and solution to work along with Cisco’s engineers to test and validate the largest 100G switch (Nexus 7718) at the datacenters.
At the same time, Miercom’s CEO Robert Smithers stated that it becomes critical to manage high performance in high-density network, and Ixia is one of the reliable partners to handle the capacity through its Xcellon-Multis.
