Ixia BreakingPoint FireStorm

Validate Infrastructure Resiliency with the World’sMost Exact Internet-Scale Network ConditionsIxia BreakingPoint’s Cyber are the world’s only products capable of pinpointing previously impossible-to-detect weaknessesand vulnerabilities in networks, network devices, and data centers before they are exploited to wreak havoc within criticalnetwork infrastructures. Leveraging all the power and flexibility of the award-winning BreakingPoint Storm, the BreakingPointFireStorm now takes performance to a new level to measure and harden the resiliency of today’s fastest and most complexnetwork and data center infrastructures.Ixia BreakingPoint FireStorm: Massive Network Simulation and Behavior Modeling from a Compact DeviceThe compact 3-slot chassis device simulates blended application traffic and current attacks at 120 Gigabits per second (Gbps)and the load from 90 million concurrent users — more than every smartphone user in the United States. Based on a patentedbreakthrough in network-processor technology, only the BreakingPoint FireStorm provides unprecedented insight by producingthe same high-stress conditions and user behavior that device manufacturers, service providers, global enterprises, andgovernment agencies face in the real world. Using the BreakingPoint FireStorm: Service providers can optimize current 3G and future Long Term Evolution (LTE)/4G mobile networks by emulating thebehavior of 90 million simultaneous smartphone users placing phone calls, streaming movies, making onlinepurchases, playing games, sending spam, spreading malware — among thousands of other scenarios. Manufacturers of content-aware network and security devices and their customers can validate the resiliency —performance, security, and stability — of next-generation equipment operating at 100 Gbps and above. Military units tasked with protecting national cybersecurity can create the world’s most advanced and cost-efficientcyber ranges, delivering realistic cyber war simulations to hone cyber defenders’ knowledge and instincts for protectingmilitary networks and installations. Major enterprises can ensure that cloud and virtualized infrastructures operate at the highest performance levels withoptimal security and the lowest cost structure.126601 Agoura Road Calabasas, CA 91302 Tel + 1-818-871-1800 Fax + 1-818-871-1805 www.ixiacom.com P/N: 915-6708-01 – September 2012
