About Xena

Xena offers 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.

Xena 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 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.

Xena Hardware

Xena 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 XenaCompact (with one fixed slot), or the 4U XenaBay 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.

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 delivers great value, from a company that sincerely cares about customer satisfaction.
