Ixia Buys Agilent's N2X Data Network Testing Product Line


Nov 06, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Ixia, a provider of converged IP performance test systems, announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Agilent Technologies' N2X Data Networks Product Line for approximately $44 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.

The acquisition was structured as an asset purchase and closed on Friday, October 30.

Ixia said it will leverage the N2X products and customer base to further penetrate markets, particularly service providers and other customers in the EMEA and Asia/Pac regions.


Ixia will continue to enhance, develop and support the N2X product line through 2015. Existing N2X customers will be able to take immediate advantage of Ixia's Ethernet support, and layer 4-7 application testing through the company's Fusion initiative.
