Keysight Technologies announced the release of the APS-100/400GE Series network application and security modular test platform.
This new platform delivers hyperscale encryption throughput that enables network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and data centers operators to validate equipment to support the massive data volume and cybersecurity requirements of their customers.
Today’s hyperscale data center operators are preparing for unprecedented traffic volumes and ever-expanding attack surfaces. NEMs need to validate their next-generation firewalls for this emerging market, and data center operators must strike a balance between security and user experience in operation.
Keysight’s APS platform includes the APS-M1010 controller and APS-ONE-100 appliance modules that can be stacked to provide hyperscale data center device manufacturers and operators with a cost-effective “pay-as-you-grow” approach to their cybersecurity testing needs. The approach preserves current and future investments as data center interfaces and speeds evolve from 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) to 400GE.
Supporting Keysight’s application performance and security test solutions, the APS Series test platform is a hyperscale Layer 4-7 test solution that helps identify performance and interoperability issues in devices and systems like next generation firewalls (NGFWs). It combines powerful multi-core, multi-threaded processors, crypto-acceleration, and cloud-native software to generate realistic, hyperscale-volume user and malware traffic under realistic conditions.
