In light of recent database breaches and hackings, security and application testing should be a top priority for companies. But for companies with equipment and workers out in the field, tracking and testing all of that technology can be a handful. Thankfully, portable solutions exist to help these companies stay on top of their software. Providers like Ixia (News - Alert) are responding to testing demands with new and innovative portable security and application testing solutions.


Known as PerfectStorm ONE, Ixia’s new solution meets the needs of security and network equipment makers to show product performance in the field when trying to demonstrate proof-of-concept. PerfectStorm ONE combines Ixia’s IxLoad and BreakingPoint software into a portable system.

Enterprises will benefit from getting additional insight into network performance, system limits and security, according to a report from Info Tech Lead.

PerfectStorm ONE uses Ixia’s Application and Threat Intelligence program to simulate over 245 applications and 35,000 malicious attacks – so networks are prepared for attacks, applications and load traffic, as well. It can simulate millions of environments to test every element of the data center from anywhere.

"The current evolving threat landscape can have a very real impact on the reputation and economics of today's businesses," Jim Rapoza, an analyst at Aberdeen (News - Alert) Group, said in a statement. "However, our research has shown that comprehensive, real-world network testing is a critical step in ensuring that the key, business critical infrastructures used by businesses today work as expected and keep networks safe and performing as expected."

Areg Alimian, Sr., director of product management at Ixia, added that PerfectStorm ONE "is the only portable solution that provides the ability to perform a true litmus test on…networks by creating metropolitan scale traffic volumes that will definitively prove or disprove the networks' resilience when deployed in the real world."

PerfectStorm ONE boasts performance of up to 60M concurrent HTTP sessions at 2M new sessions per second. It has, too, 20 Gbps SSL throughput at 200,000 new SSL sessions per second.

The performance level impresses its users.

"Our customers require confirmation that our security solutions work as expected under even peak loads. Being able to easily showcase the full functionality during the proof-of-concept phase is becoming critical to our business," added John Maddison, vice president of marketing at Fortinet (News - Alert).
