Ixia Tests 40 GigE/100GigE
Ixia, a leading, global provider of converged IP network test solutions, played a critical role in the world's first public 40 and 100 Gbps Ethernet Interoperability Plugfest that validated devices against the IEEE Std. 802.3ba-2010 standard. The plugfest was sponsored by the Ethernet Alliance's Higher Speed Ethernet (HSE) Subcommittee and hosted by Ixia at its iSimCity facility in Santa Clara, CA from September 14-16, 2010.
HSE is rapidly being adopted by data center managers and service providers. 40 gigabit Ethernet (GE) NIC interfaces and switch uplinks are quickly becoming available to handle the increased volume of data traffic from virtualized servers and Ethernet-fibre channel convergence. 100 GE will soon appear in larger data centers and service provider long lines in order to process the exponentially increasing volume of Internet traffic.
Ixia's K2 HSE test solution -- a complete IP/Ethernet test product with 40 and 100 GECFP MSA and QSPF+ test interfaces -- has field-proven itself as the benchmark for the industry. HSE component vendors can use the K2 solution to prove their standards compliance and measure their performance. Ixia's long involvement in the standardization process has resulted in a test solution that not only matches the IEEE specification, but serves as a reference standard for all other components in the HSE ecosystem.
