Description

Spirent TestCenter. Overview

Spirent TestCenter is an end-to-end test solution delivering high performance with deterministic answers. Service providers, NEMs and Enterprises use it to test, measure, and validate their networks and deploy services with confidence — from traditional performance testing to rigorous analysis of Virtualization, Cloud Computing, Mobile Backhaul, High-Speed Ethernet.

• Next-generation network and infrastructure testing with real-time answers
• Unified Layer 2 to 7 test solution with extensive network emulated protocols
• Improved efficiency through automation, expanded test coverage
• Evolves with testing needs to protect equipment ROI

Reducing Testing Complexity, Accelerating Design, Dev & Deployment

Unified Quality of Experience (QoE) Assessment Tool

The Spirent TestCenter Enhanced L4-7 unified QoE Assessment Tool helps generate full state application protocol traffic over emulated topology, to conduct concurrent Layer 2-3 and Layer 4-7 application traffic generation via single user interface, automation framework.

SPT-N12U Mainframe Chassis

The Spirent SPT-N12U Mainframe Chassis is the foundation for Spirent’s next-generation of 10GbE, 40GbE, 100GbE, and 400GbE test modules. By optimizing the design with the latest hardware and software technology, the SPT-N12U lowers the cost of testing the devices and networks powering the always-on data network.

The SPT-N12U simultaneously scales to the highest port counts and test traffic rates in the industry while
incorporating innovative time- and moneysaving capabilities such as: intelligent power and fan control, and fast
booting and system firmware upgrades.

With its efficient architecture, the SPT-N12U supports a variety of environments from multi-user functional testing all the way up to multi-chassis switch fabric and core-router stress testing. A single chassis can scale to over 14 terabits of data traffic – more than double that of the competition—supporting enough protocol scale to push any modern router architecture beyond its limits.
