Company Overview:

BreakingPoint is the content-aware testing systems company that is reinventing network and application testing. The company was founded in 2005 by engineers experienced in developing and testing high speed networking devices at NetWorth, Netspeed, Cisco, TippingPoint and 3Com.

The idea for BreakingPoint came to us in our past lives as network equipment developers, when we tested hardware before it was ready for primetime and realized we could never be sure of how our products would perform in the real world…what was their “breaking point”. We decided to build the best, most powerful testing systems ourselves. As testing moves up the stack from Layer 2 to Layer 7 we know testing, from R&D to QA, needs to be prepared for more dynamic network and application conditions.

Today, BreakingPoint delivers the only test platform powerful enough to deliver truly authentic composite business, recreational and malicious application traffic, resulting in truly accurate testing of DPI and content-aware devices. For the first time, network equipment manufacturers have access to all the components for today’s complex and dynamic test environment in a single, easy to use device. Unlike legacy test tools that only blast bits or packets, we provide the most authentic, converged application traffic at speeds up to 10Gbps based on our patented network emulation hardware. Even as new application test packages are needed, BreakingPoint is the only company agile enough to deliver express or overnight applications to keep your product release on time and accurate.
