Ixia introduces IxChariot 8.0 and IxChariot Pro Solutions

As part of its newly-enhanced IxChariot suite, Ixia has introduced its IxChariot 8.0 and IxChariot
Pro solutions that allow customers to meet the rising demand for operational efficiency and to leverage the agility offered by new networking technologies. IxChariot provides IT teams the ability to more easily devise and conduct end-to-end network assessments that simulate real-world applications and predict device, system and network performance under realistic load conditions – all from a web browser.

“Enterprises and service providers are facing increased pressure to keep the network up and meet service level requirements, while dealing with more variables than ever before. IxChariot’s new HTML5 web interface simplifies assessment testing across all networks, including those associated with virtualized environments and mobile infrastructures, both known for raising network complexity,” said Fred Kost, Vice-President of Security Solutions Marketing, Ixia.

As network deployment models evolve and cloud computing and virtualization lead to data center consolidation, enterprises are increasingly embarking on these high-profile initiatives and cannot afford to overlook network performance variables. Traditional views of networks do not deliver the scalability and reliability needed to predict and optimize performance in enterprise networks that are becoming increasingly borderless. The latest release of IxChariot enables enterprise network architecture teams and IT operations professionals to measure and optimize real end-to-end application performance during network design, staging and live operations.
