Speed and security requirements now go hand in hand. Can your tools and testbeds keep up? The pace of tech advancement has officially reached breakneck speeds. 5G, IoT, SD-WAN, SASE and 800 Gigabit Ethernet are just a few of the technologies ushering in not just new possibilities, but new demands. Standards bodies are racing to […]
Learn how to automate continuous zero-day threat vector testing with TestCloud and get beyond new threats such as Log4J and Spring4Shell. Organizations face constant and growing challenges in defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, ranging from ransomware to software supply chain attacks, malware, application exploits, and command and control bots. The cybersecurity risks are ever-present […]
The demand for data is growing exponentially and the datacenters need to keep pace. RoCEv2 has proven its usefulness over TCP/IP by providing the lowest latency by far in a legacy Ethernet datacenter. Optimization will be key to achieving the best results in large scale deployments. In today’s world, a speedy transfer of data is […]
A global movement toward 800G has begun as operators and network vendors position to address new data demands. Read about how early test solutions are meeting an important need but must flexibly evolve with standards and overcome early complexity up and down the network stack. Though 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400G) is still working its way […]
SASE emerged in 2019 as a visionary security framework where security functions are hosted in the cloud to address security challenges resulting from the rapid transition to a remote, hybrid workforce – but not without challenges. Learn how to overcome these challenges and operationalize SASE network architectures and services running on these networks. Secure Access […]
Conformance to Ethernet switch specifications provides assurance that the device’s basic implementations are done correctly. Learn about the critical capabilities a test solution needs to ensure successful validation of Ethernet switches. Thousands of semiconductor chips keep our cars smart and humming along. Electronic Control Units (ECUs) manage everything, from wheels to camera A/V. They’ve become […]
Some time-critical applications rely on ultra-low latency over multiple network hops to function properly. In this blog, you’ll explore ways of configuring the schedule traffic quickly while assuring it works as expected. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards designed to enable deterministic communication for ethernet based networks. TSN offers different tools for different […]
Make sure your SASE and SD-WAN products work exactly as expected―in the lab and across the live network. Only through comprehensive testing can you validate Quality of Service in a multi-vendor, multi-domain environment, including the public cloud. Software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) and secure access service edge (SASE) architectures are growing in popularity. And for […]
In a previous blog, I highlighted the merits of open standards-based assessments for today’s modern content-aware network security and inspection solutions In a previous blog, I highlighted the merits of open standards-based assessments for today’s modern content-aware network security and inspection solutions. Understanding how well solutions work under a multitude of performance vectors can guide users with […]
Timing synchronization within and across datacenters is the lynchpin of 5G data integrity. Operators need to ensure the time difference between any two datacenter servers is accurate within 100 microseconds. Read about ways of avoiding inaccurate timestamps and meet regulatory requirements. We previously explored why this has been so difficult for datacenter operators, especially in comparison to […]
