Virtualization Test accelerates cloud computing

Compared with the traditional data center, the cloud Computing data Center has one of the most obvious characteristics, that is the application of virtual environment. Whether it's servers, storage, switches, or even networks, it's already on the path to virtualization.

In this virtualized environment, how do you evaluate the components, applications, and network quality and capacity of your cloud computing data center? Recently, Dave Schneider, senior marketing director at Ixia, communicated with reporters about the testing of virtual environments and briefed reporters on its recent new virtualization-oriented data center and its http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/ aggregation/13748.html "> Infrastructure test Solution--ixload.

Dave describes how it is a challenge to measure the latency, throughput, and other indicators in a virtualized environment. And in the virtual environment, the virtual port must be used to test the above indicators. Ixia's Ixload software includes two virtualization test tools, one ixload VM and one ixload IO. These two test tools allow you to measure the performance, reliability, user experience, and security of the server in a virtualized environment. Another test solution IXLOAD-VDI determines the virtual Desktop Server's actual capacity by simulating a large number of virtual desktop clients.

Ixia's solution can be said to cover all aspects of virtualization. For example, the IXLOAD-VM solution, combined with IXNETWORK-VM, evaluates application performance across virtualized data centers, which assesses 2/3-tier network performance in a virtual environment. IXLOAD-VM uses the virtual test port, which is the implementation of the virtualization software for the Ethernet test device. Ixia's virtual test ports use real-world applications and Storage Area Network (SAN) traffic from virtualized hosts to assess real experience quality (QoE) and capacity. Traffic generation and measurement from virtual machines (VMS) correctly present the characteristics of each application and virtual Datacenter component.

Ixia's multiple virtualization Test solutions combine to provide the most basic and necessary testing tools to ensure that cloud services are executed in high availability and high security conditions, and this effective testing accelerates the landing of the cloud.
