Desktop network and security testing solution shatters price-performance metrics using standard Intel Xeon servers accelerated by Netronome Flow Processors
Blaster delivers a line rate, timing accurate, flow simulation application on an affordable PCIe acceleration card for use in standard x86 platforms. This enables OEMs to cost effectively distribute a high performance simulation and traffic generation solution throughout the engineering organization. This new approach significantly reduces development time and cost, while simultaneously increasing product quality.
Blaster is also designed for enterprise and carrier network operators for performance testing of flow based cyber security and network analytics applications. Blaster enables network managers to verify that these systems are designed and deployed in a manner to match expected network loads.
"High performance test traffic generation is critical to the continued development of the Vineyard NAVL DPI engine," said Josh Zieske, VP Technical Operations at Vineyard Networks. "To have any value, high performance network application testing solutions must be able to model real world traffic scenarios accurately. Blaster has the capabilities we need to provide this accurate network simulation so we can confidently test our products under intense network stress."
“Argon Design is a recognized leader in software development for engineering organizations,” said Jarrod Siket, senior vice president of marketing and general manager at Netronome. "Their expertise in the complex requirements facing developers of sophisticated communications equipment makes them uniquely qualified to bring this much needed application to market.”
