Accommodating Next-Generation Demands with a Single Solution

The Keysight PerfectStorm testing platform boasts the flexibility and scalability needed to meet the requirements of today’s and tomorrow’s networks. That’s because PerfectStorm can modularly scale nearly a terabit of application traffic in a single, integrated system. By simulating millions of real-world end-user environments, you can easily test converged multiplay services, application delivery, and network security platforms.

Equipped with powerful multicore, multithreaded network processes, PerfectStorm also prepares organizations for the future. As networking devices reach the terabit level and users drive ten times more TCP connections per second, PerfectStorm enables you to keep pace with mounting network demands without sacrificing performance.

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.

The Keysight PerfectStorm 40GE 2-port QSFP+ 2 load module (PS40GE2) includes support for 40GE and 10GE.

Highlights

The Keysight PerfectStorm software solution offers a unified platform for application and security testing, supporting Keysight IxLoad software. The software simulates massive-scale, realistic traffic and uses hardware-based acceleration for secure sockets layer (SSL) and internet protocol security (IPsec).

  • In a multiuser environment, it leverages a per-port user ownership model and supports resource aggregation. PerfectStorm also features 40GE quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) interfaces with four times 10GE small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) per port through fan-out cables.
  • PerfectStorm can help you:
  • Evaluate next-generation security devices and benchmark network performance.
  • Assess storage infrastructure and hardening mobile networks.
  • Deploy cyber ranges and training.
  • Tune systems and policies, mitigating IT risk, and optimizing virtualized data centers.
  • Deploy multiplay services.
