Overview
Keysight IxLoad VE is a Layer 4-7 test solution designed to benchmark the performance of various application delivery platforms, network security appliances, and triple play services. It emulates data, voice, and video subscribers and associated networking protocols to measure key performance indicators useful for comparing different networking applications, identifying potential configuration issues, assessing the performance bottlenecks, and ensuring the overall quality of experience for end users.
The validation is accomplished by deploying one or more IxLoad Virtual Test Appliance instances and connecting them to the device or infrastructure under test. All these instances are controlled by one IxLoad Client which configures the entire test topology and measures the relevant statistics. The tests can be performed via GUI-based execution or via API-based automation.
Ensure your network applications and devices have a correct configuration and can deliver peak performance by testing them with Keysight IxLoad VE.
Highlights
- Benchmark network applications hosted in various cloud regions or instance types. Create complex traffic profiles including data, voice, and video emulation across plain or encrypted connections. Measure key statistics such as throughput, connections / transactions per second, or simulated users.
- Validate virtual network functions like HTTP Servers, Load Balancers, DPI Devices, or Security Gateways. Compare the capabilities of such virtual devices between on-premises deployments and public-cloud deployments. Optimize configurations and resource provisioning to achieve maximum performance.
- Expand current test beds from private data centers to public clouds. Scale out your automation framework and run multiple tests in parallel to speed up execution and reduce validation time. Benefit from a unified test approach regardless of private or public cloud environment.
