XenaCompact

1U chassis for Xena’s ethernet traffic generators.

XenaCompact Portable 1U Chassis

 

Xena’s robust 1U single-slot test chassis with full feature set and easy transportation

The XenaCompact test chassis is a lightweight 1U 19” unit that can hold any of Xena’s complete range of copper and optical Ethernet modules in the Odin, Loki, Thor and Freya product groups, as well as the Chimera network emulation module, providing test port speeds from 10Mbps to 800G. This unit is ideal for use in offices and can be safely transported from site to site using the convenient flightcase.

There are two versions of the XenaCompact chassis:

  • Gigabit Compact for the Odin, Loki, and Chimera modules
  • Terabit Compact for the Thor and Freya modules

TOP FEATURES

  • Supports up to 12 test ports
  • Easy to transport
  • Lightweight flight suitcase available
  • Ease of use
  • Free user-friendly software
  • Free 36-month hardware warranty
  • Free software updates for 36 months
  • Free tech support for product lifetime

Precision wire speed testing

The high precision, stream based, wire-speed traffic generation and analysis capabilities make it ideal for testing network devices under deliberate error, stress, and random conditions. Packet formats can be defined per individual packet byte, and packet spacing, transmission rates, and bursts can be defined with byte and kbps accuracy.

Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can demonstrate that end user triple play QoE is guaranteed during network congestion, by generating traffic loads representing tens of thousands of individual network users.

Extensive software included

Included free with every XenaCompact is a Packet Generator Analyzer package for testing RFC2544, RFC2889, RFC3918, and Y.1564. The XenaManager GUI makes ad-hoc test execution and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations, simple for management of very large numbers of test streams. The package also includes Xena OpenAutomation – an open-source test automation framework that lets users automate testing from any software environment, using Tcl, Python, Perl, VBA, Ruby and Java wrappers to convert to/from the generic XOA CLI format.

 

A smart, sturdy flightcase is available for the XenaCompact. It features custom padding and is ideal for protecting the ethernet tester during transportation.

 

Physical Specifications

  • 1 slot and 1 rack unit (RU) high
  • Gigabit Compact: 1.7“ (H) x 19“ (W) x 9.8“(D) (4.45 x 48.26 x 25cm) & 10 lbs (4.5 kg)
    Max. noise: 49 dBa
  • Terabit Compact: 1.7“ (H) x 19“ (W) x 15“(D) (4.45 x 48.26 x 37cm) & 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg)

Xena offers a choice of two chassis 1U and 4U that can be equipped with an extensive range of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet test modules supporting all Ethernet speeds 1GE, 2.5GE, 5GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE, 100GE, 200GE, 400GE and 800GE.

The chassis and test modules are controlled via XenaManager, a Windows GUI client provided for ad-hoc test execution, and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations. Also included are standalone applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889 and RFC 3918 testing.

Finally, an open TCP/IP-based text API lets users automate testing from any software environment, using Tcl, Python, Perl, VBA and Java wrappers to convert to/from the generic XOA CLI format.

The Xena Networks test equipment can handle the widest range of lab-based test scenarios – performance testing, functional testing, QoS and so on – with a minimum of fuss.

Pricing is considerably lower than the industry leaders – especially when you factor in our policy of including 3 years’ free software upgrades and HW warranty, plus free training and tech support

Xena is repeatedly praised for being user-friendly. The hardware is easy to install and configure, and the intuitive software really does make life simpler for test engineers

Xena reflects its Scandinavian roots – quality products loaded with smart “no-fuss” features that deliver great value, from a company that sincerely cares about customer satisfaction.

Why choose Xena?

Xena is a full-featured Layer 2-3 stateless traffic generator and analysis platform. It is used to configure and generate Ethernet traffic at all speeds up to 800GE, and analyze how network devices and services, perform in response, making it perfect for most lab-based data-plane test scenarios.
