BreakingPoint Elite Network Equipment Testing Solution Added to General Services Administration Contract

Austin,TX – January 29, 2009--BreakingPoint Systems announced today the addition of BreakingPoint Elite to the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedules (MAS). Via its exclusive partnership agreement with Technical Communities, Inc., United States Government agencies, military organizations and prime federal contractors now have access to BreakingPoint Elite. Using BreakingPoint Elite, organizations and agencies can achieve more realistic testing scenarios, reduce time-to-test and accelerate product deployment.

BreakingPoint Elite provides comprehensive Layer 2-7 testing for network equipment and application servers in a high-performance, compact, flexible and easy-to-use product. Unlike legacy testing tools that are designed for HTTP-only test environments and struggle to generate realistic Layer 4-7 traffic, BreakingPoint Elite provides authentic application traffic blended with live security attacks at speeds of up to 40 Gbps.

Tom Taschler, BreakingPoint Systems

“Government organizations are under pressure to deploy next-generation high-performance network devices in order to manage rapidly growing application traffic and protect against security vulnerabilities. Prior to deployment these devices must be properly tested, but for decades legacy testing solutions have not had the ability to test quickly, easily or realistically. This has led to deployment delays and a false sense of network device performance and security. BreakingPoint Elite is the only network equipment testing solution that can emulate the critical combination of stateful application traffic, live security strikes and speeds of 40 gigabit per second. Government agencies using BreakingPoint reduce their time-to-test, accelerate product deployment and have a realistic measurement of device performance and security.”

BreakingPoint products are under GSA contract number GS-24F-0066M. Technical Communities provides content, transaction, marketing, sales support, reporting services, presentation and order processing.
