Use Case Studies

Juniper Networks

Many different organizations within Juniper rely on BreakingPoint network performance and security testing products to help them validate performance and reliability early in the product lifecycle and to ensure products perform in real enterprise networks. Juniper has even used BreakingPoint to demonstrate the performance of its next generation IPS system at the NXTComm trade show (2008).

"What once took Juniper at least three different test systems and three different interfaces can now be accomplished with one BreakingPoint system. The ease of use and intuitive interface allows Juniper to extend the testing capabilities to our systems engineers in the various regions with little or no training.”

Enterasys

Enterasys uses BreakingPoint products to test the company’s Enterasys Dragon® 10GbE Intrusion Prevention/Detection System (IPS/IDS).

"Enterasys is consistently introducing the latest in network security technology to proactively protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the world’s largest enterprises. Testing of these solutions would often slow down our development cycles and still not provide us with realistic traffic testing conditions. BreakingPoint’s testing tools provide enhanced flexibility and control of the testing environment, which when combined with actual application traffic and live security strikes helps us validate Dragon’s IPS/IDS efficiency and effectiveness with far greater confidence. Using BreakingPoint we not only have the confidence we need in testing our content-aware security devices, but the ability to dramatically accelerate our time to test."

NetQoS

NetQoS’ evolving product line helps large enterprises and service providers monitor the performance of their network, including specific business critical application protocols such as VoIP and the FIX trading protocol.

"It is important that we have a reliable and accurate portrayal of how our products will work in extremely busy production networks. With BreakingPoint we get hard data that shows us how well our products are working. The requirements for performance testing have shifted dramatically over the past few years and BreakingPoint recognized this shift and delivered a product that is not only powerful, but extremely easy to use."
