Agilent N2X Multi Services Test Solution

Simultaneous multi-layer and multi-technology testing including IP, MPLS, FR, ATM, Ethernet, VPN, SAN and SONET/SDH Multi-device test coverage for core & edge routers, ATM, SAN & Ethernet switches, multi-service provisioning platforms Interfaces for all major LAN, WAN & SAN technologies from 10/100/1000 Ethernet to 40G. Highest scalability (ports, channels, protocols, traffic) Breakthrough ease of use feature Overview The Agilent N2X provides the ultimate solution for validating the performance and scalability characteristics of next-generation network equipment for voice, video and data (triple-play) services. N2X addresses the complex challenges of validating next generation equipment by providing a single test environment to simultaneously validate leading edge services over the latest infrastructures. Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can gain unique insight into quality of experience (QoE) of each individual subscriber service under real-world conditions. N2X addresses the test challenges triple-play services impose across the MPLS/IP core, carrier edge and broadband-access networks, enabling a more complete characterization of service quality. Using powerful emulation software, focused built applications and industry-leading hardware test cards, users can test a broader range of test cases in much less time than ever before.   System Configuration The Agilent N2X system consists of a system controller and multiple chassis containing purpose-built Test Cards for specific test requirements. The system controller provides a graphical interface to drive applications running on the Test Cards. System Controller A number of system controllers are available depending on your performance requirements. The controller provides an easy-to use Windows® environment. >>Find out more N2X Chassis Easily daisy chain up to 60 N2X chassis to create the industry's highest density of test ports.
