SDN/NVF validation test bed accelerates time to market

For SDN/NFV technologies, predicting how networks, applications and security devices perform is a significant challenge since there are multiple elements involved, from the network layer through the compute and application layers. 

Spirent Velocity allows users to quickly set-up a predictable and repeatable virtualised test fabric to a desired deployment architecture, including choice of hypervisors, guest operating systems, reference server setup, NFV and other network elements such as SDN controllers and switches.  Spirent Velocity’s cloud-based design seamlessly incorporates the Spirent TestCenter Virtual and Spirent Avalanche Virtual test appliances, simplifying setting-up and running test cases using a database of methodologies for testing performance, availability, security and scale (PASS) of SDN/NFV.

The cloud-based framework lets test engineers utilise physical and virtual test products of their choice on the platform, including other various test appliances or open source tools, to take advantage of existing investments and resources.
