Spirent delivers an end-to-end testing solution that enables super high
performance testing with deterministic results. Service providers, NEMs and
enterprises can use it to test, measure and assure their networks and deploy
services with confidence.
Trusted Performance Spirent consistently delivers unmatched
scalability, performance and realism in service
provider, network equipment manufacturer
(NEM) datacenter, enterprise and public
tests. Spirent Cloud Core™ technology adds
native elastic computing to the Spirent Layer
2-7 software platform so users can optimize
testing tasks with parallel processing across
any number of test ports.
Unparalleled FlexibilitySpirent hardware solutions are designed for
customers’ testing requirements today and
tomorrow. From the ultra portable 2-port
Spirent C1 for router, switch, application and
security testing to the Spirent N11U chassis
for converged, high scale, multi-service device
testing to Spirent Virtual solutions for data
center infrastructure and cloud testing, Spirent
enables seamless testing within and across
physical and virtual environments.
Converged Innovation Industry leaders use Spirent to keep pace
with the latest technologies. Whether it’s
testing traffic across dual stack IPv6 and
IPv4 routers and switches, validating data
and individual virtual machines within the
cloud infrastructure, performing application-
aware security testing across virtualized
environments or converged network testing,
Spirent is there with the solutions and protocol
standards support necessary to guarantee
security, Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality
of Experience (QoE). Using the Spirent
unified platform, protocols can be layered
and scaled with confidence and without
performance degradation.

Spirent has earned the industry’s respect as the most trusted benchmarking platform for measuring performance,
density, scale and security. When the industry needs performance with accuracy, reliable results, and a versatile, scalable
test solution, it turns to the smarter platform — Spirent .
HIGH PERFORMANCEAlcatel-Lucent 7750 Router with FP3 processor.
Alcatel-Lucent used Spirent to verify FP3, its 400G chipset for extreme scale and multi-protocol routing capabilities. Spirent enables multi-protocol testing with a test port density of one-to-one between the test port and device under test (DUT).
EANTC SECURITY PERFORMANCECrossbeam X80-S
EANTC reached out to Spirent to test Crossbeam’s X80-S firewall in
a test environment that emulated a next generation mobile network
with one million active mobile subscribers and more than 107 Gbps
of data throughput.

HIGH DENSITY Juniper QFabric System Test 1,536 ports of 10G Ethernet
Juniper Networks and Network Test used Spirent dX modules for the industry’s first
public 1,536 port 10G Ethernet test. This is 4X the port density ever publicly tested.
Network test, an independent test lab, conducted the most rigorous and extensive test
of QFabric, Juniper’s single layer data center fabric and foundation for new networks.
“Spirent’s test equipment enabled the validation and
demonstration of these benefits at a large scale.”
