Spirent demonstrates Open Framework Cloud Test Platform

Joint demo at Interop Las Vegas 2014 showcases cloud-based virtual lab environment for SDN/NFV testing.

  • 10 years ago Posted in


Spirent Communications is collaborating with Wedge Networks to demonstrate the new Spirent Velocity virtual lab environment. Selected as a Best of Interop 2014 Finalist, Spirent Velocity is a unique cloud-based virtual lab environment that enables testing of Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).

Highlights of the Demonstration
The joint demonstration, featured at Spirent’s booth #727, showcases how NFV providers can easily setup and run tests to quickly bring high-performance virtual appliances and applications to market. In this demonstration, Spirent Velocity will enable the provisioning of virtual devices-under-test, such as the Wedge Networks NFV-based security solution, dramatically reducing the capital expenditure associated with physical labs. Spirent Velocity will showcase how rapid test setup and execution with packaged methodologies from Spirent TestCenter Virtual and Spirent Avalanche Virtual lets users quickly gauge performance and security in a stressed cloud. Furthermore, the demo will highlight Spirent Velocity’s ability to orchestrate Spirent TestCenter Virtual on OpenStack.

Solutions in the Demonstration
Spirent Velocity helps accelerate time to market and reduce CAPEX and OPEX associated with traditional test beds. This virtual test lab allows users to set-up a virtualized test fabric that emulates their desired deployment architecture including choice of hypervisors, guest operating systems, reference server setup, NFV and other technologies such as SDN controllers and switches.

Wedge Networks will be providing the first-ever demonstration of NFV for Security (NFV-S) solution. NFV-S is a new paradigm in providing network security for the ISP and Data Center markets being launched by Wedge Networks that brings advanced network security capabilities into virtualized functions - all in a complete, real-time and elastic solution. The WedgeOS™ powered Wedge Networks Cloud Security Platform™ provides an elastic, embedded and on-demand solution to deliver a security capability independent of physical network topology and hardware networking systems.
