Spirent Communications has extended its cPacket Networks offering to include the cVu 120G, a 10G Ethernet intelligent data center monitor switch. These products work with Spirent’s performance monitoring and test & diagnostics solution –Spirent TestCenter Live. Together, the companies enable enterprises, particularly financial institutions to, monitor, analyze and manage network traffic to remain competitive and profitable.


With the cVu family of solutions, enterprises can validate latency with nanosecond granularity. This approach ensures, for example, that financial trades are made quickly, while providing alerts related to potential decreases in network efficiency, ultimately ensuring services and devices are operating in a manner. For service providers, this agreement enables the deployment of a complete test solution that not only addresses multiple testing requirements but also minimizes the number of ports needed to run a variety of tests. Ultimately, a single port can be used to facilitate the use of several test tools freeing the other ports for expanded revenue generation opportunities.



“As we continue to seek ways to accomplish a wide range of testing needs, the idea of accomplishing more with less is extremely attractive,” said Spenser Gruis, Network Technician, OmniTel. “Spirent and cPacket provide us with an integrated solution that makes testing easier and much more cost-effective.”



The cPacket cVu product line’s precision timestamping, complete packet filtering, mircoburst detection and automatic flow balancing, paired with the Spirent TestCenter Live solution, delivers a combined solution which offers network operators a way to drastically reduce the time and cost of troubleshooting and fault identification.



“This relationship between Spirent and cPacket introduces a new level of integration for cost-effectively solving complex test and measurement issues,” said Sean Yarborough, senior director of Business Development at Spirent. “As a company we remain committed to bringing solutions to enterprise and service provider customers today and in the future that address the needs of their increasingly complex networks, allowing them to solve the emerging challenges they face.”
