Unified, Cloud-Scale, Future-Proof Testing

With real-world massive-scale traffic, CloudStorm stands out as a multi-terabit solution, delivering 2.5–3× application performance, while its hardware-based SSL acceleration provides up to 4× improved encryption performance. It enables the emulation of multi-terabit DDoS and botnet attacks, helping future-proof security solutions, and serves as a unified application and security testing platform with Layer 2–7 capabilities, supporting both BreakingPoint and IxLoad software. Designed to be multi-rate ready, CloudStorm protects your investment by supporting 100 / 50 / 40 / 25 / 10GE on a single port, and its multi-user environment efficiently leverages a per-port user ownership model across all ports on test modules installed within the chassis.

Comprehensive Test Coverage

Our test systems provide a complete solution for validating the security, performance, functionality, and conformance of networks, devices, and networked applications. The XGS12 12-slot modular chassis platform delivers a highly comprehensive environment for testing both network equipment and applications at scale.

High-Performance Testing Platform

Powered by industry-leading IxNetwork, IxLoad, and BreakingPoint applications along with automation APIs, the XGS12 platform enables massive-scale Layer 2–7 testing. It delivers the performance and scalability required to handle complex, real-world testing scenarios efficiently.

Modular and Serviceable Design

The XGS12 chassis models — XGS12-SD, XGS12-SDL, and XGS12-HSL — feature a front-to-back airflow system for efficient operation of high-density modules. Its modular architecture ensures easy serviceability, with key components such as fans, power supplies, and processors being self-contained and field-replaceable.

Flexible and Scalable Integration

With hot-swappable load modules, the XGS12 platform supports a highly flexible testing environment. It is compatible with Novus, XM, K400, PerfectStorm, and CloudStorm load modules, enabling seamless integration with existing Keysight systems while supporting future scalability.
