The Opportunity Life-cycle: Design, Deploy, and Operate
From the moment you start defining the customer need, Ixia technology helps in uncovering vulnerabilities, pinpointing problem areas, and assessing the networks’ readiness to support and secure new business applications. From there, our solutions for network assessment, security resilience, application performance, and virtualization equip you to up-sell, differentiate, and demonstrate the ultimate value of your innovative solutions.
Planning and Design: Instill Confidence, Ensure Success
▶ Is the network ready?
▶ Will applications perform as expected?
▶ Where are the potential vulnerabilities?
▶ Will business objectives be achieved?
Delivery: Demonstrate Value ▶ Are we meeting expectations?
▶ Are service providers complying with SLAs?
▶ What else is needed to maintain satisfaction?
▶ Does it scale?
Operation: Maintain Satisfaction and Identify Future Needs ▶ What’s going on at the network and operation level?
▶ Are we in compliance with industry regulations?
▶ Is virtualization causing performance trade-offs? Security risks?
▶ What happens if we upgrade to 10G/40G/100G? Move applications to the cloud? Go mobile?

The Ixia Product Portfolio: Minimize Risk, Maximize Value
Networking/Applications:Assess needs and readiness using IxChariot to generate real traffic and predict the user experience. Use IxLoad (L4-7) and IxNetwork (L2-3) to simulate complex networks and traffic profiles to model enterprise and carrier services.
Monitoring/Visbility:Deliver actionable insight into live networks using Net Optics taps and Net Tool Optimizer™(NTO) network packet brokers to maximize performance, security, and ROI during network operation.
Virtualization/SDN/NFV:Extend visibility and security to virtualized environments with IxVM testing during design, and Phantom Virtualization Taps (vTaps) during operation.
IT as a Service Engage Ixia Professional Services to conduct third-party assessments, validate your integrated solutions, and measure results. Leverage our proven industry and global expertise for ongoing health-checks, and to identify future needs that lead to future sales.
Wi-Fi Networks and Devices: Validate devices, WLANs, and Wi-Fi offload solutions with IxVeriWave, the industry’s gold-standard Wi-Fi test solution.
Security Resilience: Put network defenses to the test with Ixia BreakingPoint, keep them current with Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI). Optimize inline deployments of multiple security systems using iBypass Switches and inline packet brokers.

Ixia’s End-to-End Visibility Architecture reduces cost and helps maximize performance and security in physical and virtual
networks
IxChariot predicts the network’s readiness to support demanding business applications. Use the tool onsite or from the cloud to inject real application
traffic into the network and measure the user experience.
Find It Before They Do With End-to-end Visibility
▶ Enhance managed services
▶ Refine network monitoring best practices
▶ Improve tool utilization and ROI
▶ Leverage dynamic, application-based filtering
▶ Optmize data center initiatives
▶ Extend visibility to virtual environments
▶ Inline security and monitoring

What are the goals? ▶ Baseline current physical device performance to establish goals ▶ Physical and virtual testing can be used and tailored to the current environment
The virtualization life-cycle: Plan. Test. Optimize. Monitor.
Will it work? ▶ Functional and performance testing during Development/ QA
▶ Virtual test solutions speed setup, reduce cost and cycles, and allow simultaneous testing by multiple engineers
Does it scale? ▶ High-capacity load testing at realistic scale ▶ Physical test systems deliver realistic scale and ultra-high accuracy and precision for “apples to apples” comparisons
Does it work in the real world? ▶ Simulation of live deployments and “what if” testing ▶ A mix of physical and virtual testing allows precise replication of production networks and intended configurations
Are we meeting expectations? ▶ Ongoing real-time monitoring of performance and security; replication of field issues in the lab ▶ Mix of physical and virtual taps (vTaps) ensures 100% visibility into the new network model, including “east-west” traffic between
VMs
Protect Customer Data — and Reputations — with End-to-end Security Resilience Leading security manufacturers, service providers, and enterprises use Ixia solutions to achieve end-to-end security resilience. Before deployment, use Ixia BreakingPoint and BreakingPoint Virtual Edition (VE) to test prospective firewalls and other devices and validate overall defenses. In production networks, deploying bypass switches and packet brokers inline supports high performing, high availability configurations without adding complexity or points of failure. Use Ixia solutions in:
▶ Eliminating blind spots
▶ Product/vendor selection
▶ Maintaining real-time threat intelligence
▶ Optimizing serial inline security deployments
▶ Complex finance, government, healthcare, Fortune 100 deployments
▶ Validating DDoS mitigation and other third-party services
Inline visibility optimizes security without increasing vulnerability.
Exceed Expectations for Virtualization with End-to-end Virtualization Test & MonitoringNew strategies like Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) need to be validated throughout and beyond migration. This requires both physical and virtualized test and visibility solutions to validate designs and deployments, and maintain performance and security in the virtual or hybrid environment.
