Application and security testing for on-premises and cloud networks

Keysight IxLoad validates Layer 4 – 7 application and security performance across physical, virtual, and cloud-native environments. It emulates voice, video, and data traffic, encrypted traffic, and cyberattack scenarios at scale, enabling rigorous testing of firewalls, ADCs, and load balancers. A virtual edition enables scalable testing without requiring hardware endpoints, while APIs enable CI / CD integration for automated release testing. When hyperscale loads are required, hardware accelerators deliver this scale in a compact hardware footprint. Both virtual and hardware-accelerated versions share a unified software architecture, enabling asset reuse across multiple lab or production environments.
