SPIRENT HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY FOR HIGH SPEED ETHERNET TEST MX 100 GIGABIT TEST MODULES The Spirent 100G Ethernet test module with Cloud Core processing enables maximum performance and scale over high-speed Ethernet. Targeting testing of high-density multi-terabit routers and high-scale cloud infrastructure, ensures dataplane QoS with high performance traffic and verifies the scalability of routing, access, application and security protocols. With two 100G CFP2 ports per module, the 100G delivers the highest density high-speed Ethernet test solution per rack unit. SOLUTION OVERVIEW FEATURES & BENEFITS The Spirent mX 100G test module delivers a high density solution Testing 100G Ethernet-enabled routers or data center switches with the lowest total cost of ownership. It supports CFP2 optical requires a tester that can emulate multiple layers of network modules which use a smaller form factor, use less power, and protocols and scale to perform real-time cause/effect analysis on cost significantly less than CFP optics. The module also supports millions of statistics while putting the system through realistic smart power control and fast boot to reduce test time and eliminate scenarios, such as dynamic topology changes and fail-overs. wasted power. The Spirent mX 100G module’s Cloud Core processing and real- time cause/effect analysis enables testing highly- scaled terabit The Spirent 100G CFP2 Ethernet modules are available in two levels networks and devices. of performance: mX for the highest available emulation performance and a cost-effective mid-level emulation performance version. They Cloud Core is based on several patent pending technologies are available in 2-port 100G variants. With the combination of Cloud designed to add elastic computing to the Spirent Layer 2-7 Core processing and the deep real-time analysis that Spirent is performance software platform. Cloud Core optimizes testing known for, these modules deliver enhanced realism with scale and tasks across parallel processes, pooling processes across performance. multiple X86 processor cores and threads.
