Ixia has unveiled the concept 400Gb/s Higher Speed Ethernet test solution that will enable its customers to meet the growing bandwidth requirements of the ever-evolving data network.
Building on the company’s market leadership with the first 40 and 100GbE testing solutions, Ixia has successfully completed the industry’s first 400GbE interoperability test with Ciena, a global provider of open, programmable networking platforms and software.
The 400GbE Jumpstart Test system provided wire rate packet generation/reception at 400Gb/s. By demonstrating this ability, Ixia is helping the market advance toward delivering a standard for 400GbE while extending its technology leadership.
Since ratification of the 100Gb/s Ethernet standard, global network traffic and bandwidth demand continues to experience massive growth. The IEEE P802.3bs Task Force is focussing on the new 400GbE standard enabling high-bandwidth solutions for web-scale data centers, video distribution infrastructures, service providers and new applications areas. The newest standard is expected to reach data-transfer speeds of 400Gb/s, which is fast enough for 50,000 simultaneous High Definition Netflix video streams.
With the new 400GbE Jumpstart Test System Ixia continues to stay on the cutting edge of developing innovative networking technologies that allow our customers to meet demands and provide next-generation solutions to network providers.
