Flexible, High-Density 12-Slot Chassis
Keysight’s XGS12 12-slot modular chassis platform delivers the most comprehensive solution for performance, functional, security, and conformance testing of network equipment and network applications at scale. Operating in conjunction with Keysight’s industry-leading IxNetwork, IxLoad, and BreakingPointi test applications and automation APIs, this platform provides the power and performance necessary for massive-scale Layer 2-7 testing.
All XGS12 chassis platform models—XGS12-SD, XGS12-SDL, and XGS12-HSL—have a front-to-back airflow system to ensure that Keysight’s highest-density load modules operate efficiently. A true modular design maximizes serviceability as each major system component is self-contained and field-replaceable with the fan, power supply, and processor components designed to be readily installed and removed. Keysight load modules are hot-swappable, allowing for a highly-flexible testing environment. This chassis family supports XM, PerfectStorm, and CloudStorm load modules, providing a seamless integration with existing Keysight test systems.
Highlights
• Reduces space requirements and simplifies management with high port densities— 400/100/50/40/25/10/1GE/ 100M—in 11RU vertical rack space
• Enables resource aggregation across load modules by using high-speed backplane
• Offers multi-user environment that leverages a per-port user ownership model for all test module ports
• Reduces management overhead and simplified upgrades with integrated IxOS™ operating system for chassis and load modules
• Enables simple and quick field service with field-replaceable Modular Controller, Fan, and Power Supply Modules
• Remote chassis management via browser (on XGS12-HSL and XGS12-SDL models) • Supports the K400 load module
• Supports the complete line of Novus load modules
• Supports Window 10 and IxOS Native modes
Key Features
• Windows 10 Support: The new XGS2-SD 940-0017 and XGS12-SD 940-0018 both support Windows 10, enabling software and security updates from Microsoft
• Unified platform for L2-7 testing: a unified solution for executing a wide array of data, routing, and bridging protocol emulation; and signaling, voice, video, and application testing from layers 2-7
• Extensive interface support: higher speed Ethernet 400GE, 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE, 10GE, and 10/100/1000 Mbps copper Ethernet
• Hot-swap capability: load modules can be actively swapped in and out of the test bed without disrupting ongoing test that is using the installed modules
• High performance: high-speed backplane supports high bandwidth requirements of large-scale application tests
• Highly serviceable with modular components: o Processor Module is a self-contained, field replaceable unit for management and control of load modules, port configurations, and statistics. o Fan Module is a self-contained, field replaceable unit for temperature control o Power Supply Module is a self-contained, field replaceable unit with three power supplies
• Highly-expandable: STAR and Metronome Chassis Synchronization available for the XGS12 with these other Keysight chassis: XGS2-SD, XGS2-SDL, XGS2-HSL, XGS12-SD, XGS12-SDL, XGS12HSL, AresONE and Novus ONE PLUS
• Precision timing: Reference time synchronization with Metronome Timing System and GPS antenna
