Balancing Security + Performance in Hyperscale Networking

Data center operators and service providers face exponential growth in encrypted traffic volumes and continually expanding attack surfaces driven by digital transformations in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more. 400GE puts further demands on critical infrastructure like NGFWs and application delivery controllers by transmitting traffic at unprecedented speed, making it more critical than ever for data center NEMs and operators validate that their solutions can support these hyperscale loads without sacrificing security and usability.

Modular and Flexible Hyperscale Test Platform

The APS-100/400GE Series employs a modular approach that allows users to stack APS-ONE-100 appliances and scale up to 16 compute nodes all managed by a single APS-M8400 appliance, creating a system capable of driving 5.1 billion of concurrent TCP connections and generating 3.2 Tbps of L47 traffic through Keysight’s industry-leading application delivery and security testing tools.​

What Can Hyperscale, 400GE Capable Testing Do For You?

A single APS-ONE-100 appliance delivers unparalleled TLS performance of up to 100K TLS connections per second, 3.2M TLS concurrent connections, and 150 Gbps of encrypted throughput.1

Use the APS-M1010 controller to scale up to 10 compute nodes and drive hyperscale throughput like 3.4M TLS connections per second, 45M TLS concurrent connections, and 1.78 Tbps of encrypted throughput.2

Need even more test capacity? Leverage the APS-M8400 appliance and its 8x400GE QSFP-DD native I/O to aggregate up to 16 compute nodes and harness the industry’s most powerful application and security test platform, capable of generating 1.6M TLS connections per second, 51M concurrent TLS connections, and 2.4 Tbps of encrypted throughput.​

Making Dollar$ and Sense Out of Enterprise Security Testing

Making Dollar$ and Sense Out of Enterprise Security Testing

If your job involves addressing and responding to the security challenges your organization faces, this paper can help you. We’ll explore traditional approaches to assessing security investments, look at the financial benefits of testing, and debunk the excuses that keep IT organizations from validating their security infrastructure and deployment processes. And last but not least, we’ll introduce new solutions and best practices for staying a step ahead of the evolving threat landscape. Ignoring security resilience testing is a “head-in-the-sand” approach that can cost organizations millions, and individuals their jobs. We’ll look at solutions and technologies that can cost-effectively model and apply the realism found in your company’s one-of-a-kind network, right down to your applications and even a single user’s behavior, including both legitimate enterprise users and malicious attackers. Using this approach and economical new techniques, IT managers can quickly evaluate how specific technologies such as NGFWs, or a layered security architecture, will perform and safeguard application performance in their own unique environments. This paper covers: Opportunities for cost-reduction; Selecting optimized and cost-effective security for your network; Right-sizing investments to meet your company’s business AND security needs; Ensuring your network has the high level of security resilience needed to defend against attacks; Readying company personnel for inevitable attacks.
