Problem: Ensuring Network Changes Won’t Disrupt Service Quality and Performance
Today’s networks are in constant flux. Organizations frequently add new business services to their networks, and network equipment undergoes continual updates and upgrades. Whether existing network devices are capable of supporting a new service is a question often left to chance. To avoid blunders, organizations need to qualify the network, assess performance, and predict the quality of experience (QoE) of newly deployed services. For quality assurance engineers and IT teams, it is critical to have fast and efficient ways to verify and quantify performance before shipping products or rolling out services.
Solution: Efficient Software-Based Testing to Check Device and Network Readiness
IxChariot instantly assesses and troubleshoots networks and applications before and after deployment. This powerful assessment tool uses software agents called Performance Endpoints to simulate application traffic and deliver key performance metrics to a central console for easy management. The result is a fully instrumented system for confidently assessing the performance and reliability of networks and applications running on a wide variety of transport interfaces, including wired, wireless, and virtual data centers. Pre-deployment, QA teams or IT teams can run “what-if” scenarios to predict an application’s impact on devices or the network.
Highlights
• Validate your devices and networks with proven softwarebased solution you can rely on
• Validate Wi-Fi clients and access points (APs) based on Wi-Fi Alliance certification tool
• Instantly assess network performance, including wireless performance and geo-location
• Leverage distributed and portable performance endpoints deployed on mobile, PC, Mac or in any hypervisor or cloud provider
• Manage your tests from modern and intuitive web-based user interface
• Control the performance of your devices, networks, and applications based on comprehensive key performance metrics, including throughput, packet loss, jitter, delay, MOS, and application latency
• Emulate and report key metrics from complex application flows including voice and video, services like Netflix, YouTube, and Youku to understand the ability of your network and equipment to deliver quality user experience
How Does IxChariot Work?
IxChariot simulates real-world applications to predict device, system, and network performance under realistic load conditions. The solution consists of an IxChariot Console and Performance Endpoints that are distributed throughout multiple sites and data centers, end-user PCs, and mobile devices.
IxChariot Server and Desktop Editions
IxChariot console is available in two editions. The IxChariot Server Edition is hosted on a Linux server and is accessed through a web interface. The IxChariot Desktop Edition is installed as a heavy client on Windows PCs or servers. Both editions share the same licensing and are compatible with the same endpoints so users can select the best option for their use case.
