Xcellon Family

The world is becoming an always-connected, mobile environment, with massive volumes of traffic flowing through WANs, LANs, and data centers. The increase in network traffic scale, complexity, and types is causing a huge upswing in data center port counts and technology diversity. Virtualization and cloud computing are offering great efficiencies, and networks are converging over IP. Service providers and equipment manufacturers have no choice but to test at previously unimagined scale, while still keeping a watchful eye on energy efficiency and costs.

In response to these trends, Ixia introduces its next-generation testing architecture - Xcellon™.

Xcellon™ is a new architecture specifically designed to validate next-generation core and data center networks. Its flexibility provides the performance, scalability, and energy efficiency needed to address the test requirements of next-generation networks today, and in the future.

Xcellon - a next generation test architecture for next generation networks

Xcellon is designed to adapt and fully support the data center convergence and cloud computing paradigms that are changing the dynamics of business IT. It validates the performance of routers, switches, web application servers, application-aware firewalls, application delivery controllers, and security platforms. Xcellon ensures that carrier and data center networks are ready to handle millions of mobile and fixed subscribers, with a high quality of service (QoS).

Xcellon-Flex™

Xcellon-Flex breaks the terabit traffic generation barrier for a single chassis, with full layer 2-7 testing capability. It provides double the 10GE port density and 12 times the per-port protocol scalability of competitors' solutions, with 30% less power consumption than previous generations of 10GE ports. Xcellon-Flex adapts to changing needs through aggregation - the flexible combination of resources from multiple ports behind a single port for maximum performance. Different models are available to suit different speed, performance, and price demands.

Xcellon-Ultra™

Xcellon-Ultra is optimized for generating ultra-high performance application traffic and high volume encrypted traffic. It offers the industry's highest 10GE application performance, and is able to generate up to 40 Gbps of stateful voice, video and data, or 20 Gbps of IPsec encrypted traffic from a single appliance.
