BreakingPoint emulates VMware VMotion Traffic Application Testing

BreakingPoint today announced the BreakingPoint Application Protocol for VMware® VMotion™ enabling Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs) and Service Providers to emulate VMware VMotion traffic at speeds of up to 40 Gigabits per second in their test environment. When combined with the BreakingPoint Application Protocol for NFS and SMB/CIFS, it eliminates the costs and delays of testing a VMware ESX server infrastructure and Storage Area Network (SAN).

VMware, with more than 120,000 customers (www.vmware.com/customers), is a leader in the virtualization market. As more and more networks introduce virtualized machines, VMware VMotion is being used to migrate these virtual machines between servers while they are actively running. It is becoming critical for NEMs and Service Providers to test network device performance in a VMware environment. Yet, the limitations of legacy test tools forced vendors to build out an additional infrastructure to emulate application traffic required to validate the performance and security of network devices designed for virtualized environments.

BreakingPoint Reduces Testing Complexity and Time-to-Test

Mike Hamilton, Director of Product Marketing, BreakingPoint

“BreakingPoint can replace much of the equipment used for testing with an easy-to-use single device, allowing you to eliminate the cost and time of setting up this complicated network to simulate the VMotion protocol. On top of the BreakingPoint application protocol for VMotion, our support of the NFS and SMB/CIFS protocol also emulates the SAN traffic that is necessary to test a VMware infrastructure.”
