Testing Tools
Ensuring Network Resiliency
Comprehensive application, performance, and security testing tools that ensure the resiliency of content-aware network devices and application servers.
Today's network introduces millions of new variables, including increasingly sophisticated security attacks and applications, which impact performance and add significant operational cost and complexity. To address these needs, Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs), Server Vendors and Service Providers are developing and deploying a new generation of network devices that leverage content-aware functionality. The challenge is to properly test these devices to ensure network resiliency, while accelerating product development and reducing time-to-test.
BreakingPoint Elite - The Only Realistic Network Simulation for Testing Network Vulnerability and Resiliency
BreakingPoint testing tools provide resiliency testing capabilities by simulating realistic blended application traffic mixed with live security strikes at line-rate throughput and maximum load conditions. BreakingPoint Elite’s resiliency testing tools provide:
- Testing for all known vulnerabilities, including current and comprehensive security attacks and thorough application protocol fuzzing to harden defenses.
- Line-rate traffic generation and session throughput of blended realistic applications to test for vulnerabilities and performance issues under maximum load conditions.
- Automated tools that are consistently updated with the latest security vulnerabilities and application protocols.
- Support for creating and testing proprietary application protocols and custom security attacks.
- Ability to ensure compliance with the latest regulatory and industry standards.
- Easy-to-use automated testing and user interface, helping to reduce time-to-test by 50% or more.
Legacy test vendors are unable to keep up with the new realities of network equipment testing because of their rigid architectures. They cannot easily update their solutions with the latest application protocols. In fact, it can often take up to a year to provide even the most common application protocols for testing.
BreakingPoint solutions are architected in three independent layers that work together, providing a testing environment that effectively enables a future-proof, field-upgradeable product:
- The Hardware Layer provides the firepower needed to effectively test network equipment with both Layer 2-3 and Layer 4-7 traffic at 10 Gigabit and faster speeds.
- The Control Layer is the go-between, enabling sophisticated automation of testing and eliminating the need to manually script or start from scratch on every test.
- The Management Layer provides an intuitive management interface, application profile repository, detailed reporting, and the ability to test proprietary applications.
These layers come together to provide the fastest and most accurate, easy-to-use, and flexible performance and security testing tool in the industry.
