Xena 25GE Test Modules

Many data centers now using 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connections need more bandwidth to handle the huge increase in e.g. cloud-based services. Instead of adding more 10GE ports or upgrading to 40GE, many companies are choosing the newly standardized single lane 25GE technology.

It’s less expensive than adding more 10G ports and provides 2.5 times more capacity per port – without pushing power consumption through the roof.

NextGig Systems offers these Xena test modules for testing 25GE:

Z100q Loki	Z400q Thor
(# of Ports / Speed) 2 x 100GE ports 4 x 50GE ports 2 x 40GE ports 8 x 25GE ports 8 x 10GE ports	(# of Ports / Speed) 4 x 100GE ports 8 x 50GE ports 1 x 40GE ports 4 x 25GE ports 4 x 10GE ports
This 2-port 100GE test module can also test 50GE, 40GE, 25GE and 10GE delivering great value for money.	A 7-speed dual media test module with the unique capability of being able to test both PAM4 and NRZ speeds.

Software
All Xena solutions include user-friendly software to make it quick and easy to perform a multitude of relevant performance, QA, compliancy and functional testing: XenaManager, applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889, RFC 3918 testing, and Xena OpenAutomation.

Pricing

Xena Ethernet testing solutions are renowned for their price/performance value – you get a lot of great features at a very affordable price. To help you evaluate our 25GE solutions we are happy to offer free online demo session where we walk you through all the software and answer any questions you might have regarding your specific test scenario.

If you already know what you need, we can also arrange for a quick quote. Part of our value proposition is that we include all software and 3 years’ of upgrades free of charge with every L2-3 solution. We also offer free technical support for the lifetime of the product and a year’s free hardware warranty.

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
