SPIRENT HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY FOR HIGH-SPEED ETHERNET TEST FX 100 GIGABIT TEST MODULES The Spirent fX 100G Ethernet test module with Cloud Core processing enables performance and scalability testing of high-speed Ethernet networks. Targeting testing of high-density multi-terabit routers and high-speed Ethernet cloud infrastructure, the fX ensures dataplane QoS performance over realistic routing and cloud infrastructure topologies. With two 100G CFP2 ports per module, the fX 100G delivers the most comprehensive set of features and performance at a very competitive price. SOLUTION OVERVIEW APPLICATIONS • The Spirent fX 100G test module delivers a high-density solution High Scale Terabit Routers: 100G Ethernet core routers with with the lowest total cost of ownership. It supports CFP2 optical multi-protocol topologies and line rate traffic modules which use a smaller form factor, use less power, and • Data Center Fabrics: Validate the forwarding performance and cost significantly less than CFP optics. The module also supports functional capabilities of ultra high-scale, high-density next- smart power control and fast boot to reduce test time and generation multi-terabit cloud data center fabrics eliminate wasted power. • Enterprise Switches: Validate forwarding performance and functional capabilities of large, next-generation enterprise The Spirent fX 100G Ethernet modules are available in a 2-port campus and data center switches with ultra low-latency, high 100G CFP2 configuration. With the combination of Cloud port density and FCoE capabilities Core processing and the deep real-time analysis that Spirent is known for, these modules deliver on realistic testing of complex multiprotocol topologies. Spirent also offers other CFP2 modules to address different levels of emulation performance requirements. SPIRENT FX 100 GIGABIT TEST MODULES Productivity FEATURES & BENEFITS • Intelligent Results™ Testing 100G Ethernet-enabled routers or data center switches • When creating test beds at the scale that Spirent fX 100G can requires a tester that can emulate multiple layers of network protocols and scale to perform real-time cause/effect analysis on achieve, the amount of data that is produced is astronomical. An advanced and highly efficient distributed database millions of statistics while putting the system through realistic scenarios, such as fail-overs. The Spirent fX 100G module’s Cloud processes billons of real-time results to validate tests and identify problems, giving engineers the immediate feedback Core processing and real-time cause/effect analysis enables testing terabit networks and devices. they need to debug problems and accelerate development. • Delivers more results with tight correlation, and more Cloud Core is based on several patent-pending technologies designed to add elastic computing to the Spirent Layer 1-7 information to find those obscure bugs. With more coverage and more information, Spirent answers questions faster and performance software platform. Cloud Core optimizes testing tasks across parallel processes, pooling processes across in a single test run where multiple runs are necessary with other test tools multiple processor cores and threads. Test beds built on Cloud Core provide an exceptional combination of scalable performance • Interesting streams uses real-time results data mining to and realism and are ideal for testing the most complex converged dynamically filter through mountains of data and display IP systems, such as cloud data centers and high-performance the results that matter core networks. • Powerful automation with Command Sequencer • Spirent Cloud Core combined with Intel Inside maximizes (Visual Programming) and GUI to Script empowers the test performance and scale of emulated topologies and stateful operator to: application traffic • Construct sophisticated, stressful, automated test cases • Available test packages and integrated configuration wizards without programming experience simplify and accelerate configuration of data center, mobile backhaul, routing, access and application test cases • Combine numerous individual test cases into a single run to save regression test time • Develop a catalog of broad automated test cases in a fraction of the time • Export automated test cases to run from a command line for headless test execution that can be integrated with any automated regression system SPIRENT FX 100 GIGABIT TEST MODULES TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Spirent 100 Gigabit Ethernet Test Modules Optical transceiver CFP2 MSA Optical 802.3ba Operational modes 100 Gigabit Ethernet Timing Common tx clock synchronized to chassis-based source, adjustable by ±100 ppm;
