Reinforces leadership role in delivering
solutions that enable customers to successfully validate and deploy
higher speed Ethernet technology
Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA), a leading provider of network testing,
visibility, and security solutions, today announced it is the first
to ship a 400 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) test solution to a major,
worldwide carrier, who will leverage the technology to ensure
network readiness for accommodating a growing subscriber base,
support for bandwidth intensive applications, and delivery of a
quality user experience.
Industry-leading network equipment manufacturers are heavily
investing in the development of new Intellectual Property (IP) and
ASICs for the next generation of higher speed switches and routers
to address the growing bandwidth requirements of expanding
hyperscale data centers. Ixia recognizes the importance of the
400GbE ecosystem. Carriers and service providers require robust
test tools to assess the interoperability and performance of future
network equipment, optical transceivers, and copper cable media
with 400GbE speed capability from their supplier base of network
equipment manufacturers.
“Ixia continues to lead the market in developing validation
solutions and our list of firsts continues to grow,” said Dennis
Cox, Chief Product Officer at Ixia. “Over the past 15 years, Ixia
has been first to develop test systems supporting 10GbE, 100GbE,
40GbE, 25GbE, and 50 GbE, and now 400 GbE.”
Ixia was the first vendor to successfully and publicly
demonstrate leading edge, IEEE802.3bs draft compliant 400GbE
technology at several industry events in 2016. These
demonstrations, held in Japan and Germany, confirmed that 400GbE
technology, including key elements such as field-programmable gate
arrays (FPGAs) running Ixia intellectual property, CFP8 connectors,
and optics, are available and ready to build the next generation of
high speed networking products.
