Ixia Combines Visibility and Test Technology to Speed Network Fault Isolation and Outage Resolution

Business Wire
Ixia, a leading provider of network testing, visibility, and
security solutions, today announced TrafficREWIND™, a new solution
that captures traffic patterns from a production network and
accurately recreates them in a controlled sand-box environment.
TrafficREWIND, based on new patent pending technology, enables
enterprises, service providers, and network equipment manufacturers
to dramatically speed fault isolation and outage resolution with
real world testing. Ixia is planning a demonstration of
TrafficREWIND at Cisco Live (Booth #3019) in Las Vegas 2016, July
10th – 14th.
TrafficREWIND leverages the advanced functionality of several of
the company’s solutions, including the Vision ONE™ network
visibility solution to capture production network traffic
profiles, the BreakingPoint™ testing platform to replay the traffic
in a controlled environment such as a pre-deployment lab or a
staged network, as well as Ixia’s Application and
Threat Intelligence (ATI) technology for advanced threat
intelligence.
“Ixia continues to lead the industry in the development of test
and visibility technologies that solve complex network
challenges,” said Sunil Kalidindi, vice president of product
management at Ixia. “We’ve used that expertise to design
TrafficREWIND and make it easy for customers to recreate their
unique network traffic to quickly identify problems and fix them
before there is any significant loss of productivity or potential
revenue.”
Vision ONE enables organizations to maintain network visibility
and security across physical and virtual environments from a single
platform. Its Application and Threat Intelligence-based traffic
sensors create metadata in the form of Netflow records which are
fed to TrafficREWIND. TrafficREWIND then easily translates
production network insight into test traffic configurations with
high fidelity. BreakingPoint then uses the resulting test
configuration to create realistic application mixes to validate the
production readiness of network security tools or application-aware
devices.
Ixia’s BreakingPoint validates the stability, accuracy, and
quality of networks and network devices. Adding TrafficREWIND
enables customers to review past production traffic conditions and
replay them, plan for the future by scaling or changing traffic
dynamics, and freeze time to examine a specific incident at the
exact moment it happened, for rapid fault analysis.
TrafficREWIND allows customers to transform from a reactive to a
proactive approach as they manage, scale, and operate their
networks, by:
- Translating production network insight
into traffic stimulus for sand-box test environments;
- Anonymizing payloads to ensure data
security versus storing actual traffic payloads such as packet
captures; and
- Modeling network behavior by
dynamically changing application types, as well as the bandwidth
distribution and application characteristics of the generated test
traffic over time.
