1 IxLad Strage The IxLad Strage test slutin delivers the industry s mst scalable and flexible slutin fr testing high-perfrmance strage devices and netwrks. This includes servers, data center cmpnents, unified file systems, and clud netwrks that deal with strage. IxLad s strage slutin is als suitable fr validating in-line devices such as WAN ptimizers and lad balancers that inspect and ptimize strage applicatin perfrmance. IxLad emulates stateful SAN, NAS and bject prtcls such as CIFSv1, SMB 2.1, SMB 3.0, NFSv3, NFSV4.0, NFSV4.1, iscsi, SCSI ver FCE and OpenStack Swfit in cnjunctin with ther applicatin prtcls such as HTTP, HTTPS, SQL, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and FTP t accurately simulate numerus real-wrld strage wrklads. The IxLad strage slutin leverages Ixia's industry-leading, highperfrmance test platfrms t transmit and receive cntrl and data plane traffic. In cnjunctin with Ixia s PerfectStrm prduct family, the IxLad strage slutin delivers the industry's highest perfrmance and mst scalable test slutin fr generating applicatin traffic used t validate multiservice delivery perfrmance. PerfectStrm is Ixia's latest testing platfrm with multi-cre prcessrs and highest 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) prt density that mdularly-scales t nearly a terabit f applicatin traffic in a single, integrated system. IxLad SAN,NAS and Object Strage prtcl emulatins: Simulate patterns that clsely replicate the enterprise mix f repeated and nn-repeated data Simulate millins f unique users with realistic behavir and each user cmpleting hundreds f unique actins Stress the authenticatin/ dmain server with access requests resembling lgin strms Validate clud strage, with the ability t deply in a virtualizatin envirnment Measure independent- and multi-prtcl perfrmance, sessin capacity, and transactin latencies Test clud infrastructures by simulating SAN, NAS, and ther data center applicatin traffic frm a single integrated platfrm Determine server file system interperability by simulating bth CIFS and NFS clients trying t access the same file systems Test netwrk device capability t priritize SAN and NAS traffic under peak lads Simulate varius wrklad prfiles t validate the impact f strage n enterprise applicatins Agura Rad Calabasas, CA USA Tel Dcument N.: Rev E August Page 1
