Data Center Resiliency

Measure the resiliency of your data center using real-world applications and traffic from millions of users

The devices that make up your cyber infrastructure are created to do a variety of things from protect data, secure you from attack, communicate and optimize performance. Each of these devices are being hit by a barrage of applications and the list is growing each day. Today's network must support, on average, 30 concurrently running applications, ranging from business protocols such as databases and email, to VoIP, P2P, gaming and much more. The device that is deployed within your cyber infrastructure must be validated for both performance and security under the unique traffic of your network. Otherwise you will be deploying equipment that can be exploited or will not perform when they are needed the most.

 

Measuring cyber infrastructure performance and security under realistic application load

Realistically measuring the performance and security of cyber infrastructure devices requires a complete understanding of the types of application traffic your device will encounter in a production environment. But you must also remember that not all applications are safe and many security vulnerabilities use application traffic to mask themselves and breach your defenses. To properly validate your devices and systems you must simulate real-world application traffic, real-time security strikes and realistic traffic bandwidth and speeds.

Simulating real-world applications and real-time security attacks with BreakingPoint Storm CTM™

BreakingPoint’s Cyber Tomography Machine (CTM), the BreakingPoint Storm CTM, generates the realistic blended application and security traffic you need to harden your cyber infrastructure and verify that it will be resiliency to crippling attack or high-stress load. A single BreakingPoint Storm CTM delivers 40 Gigabits per second of blended application traffic, live security strikes and 30 million concurrent TCP sessions.

Blending real-world applications and real-time attacks

Generate stateful blended application traffic at unprecedented speeds with a mix of application protocols from our library—with no performance degradation. BreakingPoint provides 100+ application protocols that can be blended with more than 4,500 security attacks for load testing, as well as an API for integrating proprietary application traffic. All of this is included for one price through the Application and Threat Intelligence Program.

Keeping application load validation current

Keep your simulations current with the BreakingPoint Labs application and security research team, which is dedicated to delivering the surveillance and updates you need to keep pace with rapid changes in enterprise environments. BreakingPoint Labs delivers application protocols and security strikes as quickly as overnight and provides complete same-day Microsoft Tuesday coverage.

Simplifying realistic application load simulation

Reduce time-consuming configurations by combining BreakingPoint’s realistic application protocols into an Application Profile to simulate different types of network traffic for Enterprises, SOHO, Small and Medium Business, Service Providers, Higher Education and others. BreakingPoint enables you to share context between application protocols and define simultaneous sessions, session ramp-up rates, and session duration; upload custom content to transmit live virus, spam, or legitimate content as part of the test traffic; and automatically create profiles for benchmark network tests such as RFC 2544.

The BreakingPoint Storm CTM is the only solution that government organizations, enterprises, service providers and equipment vendors can rely on to measure resiliency of cyber infrastructure devices under real-world application load and real-time security attacks.
