Interop Las Vegas 2011: Witness the Latest in IT Resiliency Testing
by Evan GuthrieBy Evan Guthrie
Next week the BreakingPoint team will be in Las Vegas for the 2011 Interop Conference and Expo, introducing our latest product capabilities and demonstrating how enterprises can validate and harden IT resiliency. In booth #1667, we will be featuring daily high-performance demonstrations with customers including Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, McAfee, and more.
The BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM has been named a Best of Interop 2011 Finalist for Network Testing innovation. If you are attending Interop, stop by our booth to learn about this product’s unprecedented capabilities to validate content-aware network and security devices, LTE infrastructures, low-latency multicast environments, and entire data centers. Daily presentations and live demonstrations will show you how to:
- Set up a competitive device evaluation to select the right product for your traditional, mobile, or converged network environment.
- Put today’s high performance, content-aware firewalls through their paces at extreme speeds.
- Eliminate blind spots as you plan and implement virtualized environments.
- Optimize the performance of low-latency environments with a single integrated product.
- Use massive user load and attacks to secure cloud infrastructures.
New BreakingPoint Capabilities and Services
BreakingPoint’s unsurpassed end-to-end functionality will be on display, demonstrating exactly how IT organizations can measure and harden the resiliency of the full range of enterprise IT infrastructure components—devices, networks, applications, and data centers—using a single, compact, and easy-to-use device. Here’s a preview of the demonstration kiosks in our booth:
- Devices — In this kiosk you will be able to see live testing with the Fortinet FortiGate-3950B, talk with our partners from UL about cybersecurity certification, and see how the BreakingPoint Resiliency Score can help you separate the pretenders from the contenders in your next device bakeoff.
- Networks — Here you will see a live test of the Cisco ASA 5585-X security device. This area will also feature our new LTE/4G Test Lab for mobile networks, security testing with our library of 30,000+ attacks, and information about our network device evaluation service.
- Applications — Stop by this area to learn how to measure and optimize the performance and capacity of applications with massive-scale application load testing. We will also be demonstrating our ability to simulate major DDoS attacks to create detailed advance insight into the impacts of these attacks on application performance, security, and stability.
- Data Centers — Come to this kiosk and see, for the very first time, the BreakingPoint Data Center Resiliency Test Lab, which gives organizations the ability to measure exactly how many users can be supported by a data center. This measurement allows organizations to optimize and rightsize their applications for cloud and virtualized environments and data center equipment.
Daily Presentations in the BreakingPoint Theater
Join us for daily discussions on enterprise IT resiliency and live presentations with several BreakingPoint customers, including Fortinet, McAfee, Cisco, Juniper, and UL. These companies will join BreakingPoint personnel to discuss how enterprise IT organizations can use BreakingPoint’s products and services to gain advance insight into the performance, security, and stability of applications, devices, networks, and data centers under high-stress conditions.
If you are attending Interop, be sure to stop by booth #1667 to meet some of our team. If you aren’t able to attend, don't worry, because we will be offering updates via Twitter, Facebook, and our Interop conference page so that you can keep up with the very latest from the event.
