About Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a full-featured Layer 2-3 stateless Ethernet traffic generation and analysis platform. It is used to configure and generate Ethernet traffic up 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.

Valkyrie offers a choice of two chassis that can be equipped with an extensive range of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet test modules supporting all Ethernet speeds up to 800GE, including 2.5GE, 5GE, 25GE, 50GE, 100GE, 250GE and 400GE.

The chassis and test modules are controlled via ValkyrieManager, 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.

Valkyrie Hardware

Valkyrie includes a range of advanced Layer 2-3 test modules for testing all speeds from 1GE up to 800GE – and beyond. These test modules can be mounted in either of Xena’s hardware chassis – the easy-to-transport ValkyrieCompact (with one fixed slot), or the 4U ValkyrieBay which has 12 modular slots. The test modules support a variety of interfaces (SFP+, QSFP, CFP4, CXP etc.) and many are uniquely capable of handling multiple speeds via simple software settings.

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 Xena’s ValkyrieManager, 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 Xena Command Line Interface (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

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