CloudSure solution designed to help assure
successful NFV roll-outs, service flexibility and agility
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the world-leading carrier
network and SDN/NFV testing solution provider, today announced the
release of Spirent CloudSure, the world’s first
commercially-available test solution for assuring NFV performance
as specified in ETSI GS NFV-TST 001. Spirent CloudSure is designed
to benchmark and validate performance and allow service providers
to confidently rollout NFV deployments and reap the benefits of
service flexibility and agility, without sacrificing
performance.
NFV is a complex and difficult set of technologies to navigate,
with deployment of network functions virtualization infrastructure
(NFVi) and the functionality of virtual network functions (VNFs)
providing many challenges. Spirent CloudSure delivers value in
the form of test packages, consisting of a set of templates that
can be easily configured and customized to match service providers’
unique NFV deployments. Configuration is possible via both a
graphical user interface (GUI) and an application programming
interface (API) for automation users, with Spirent TestCenter
Virtual ports and Spirent CloudStress agents generating realistic,
multi-dimensional workloads to assess cloud performance.
“Spirent CloudSure takes a new approach to measuring performance
of virtualized infrastructure, with a test framework which
addresses operators’ key NFV concerns,” said Abhitesh Kastuar,
General Manager of Spirent’s Cloud and IP business. “Focused on
benchmarking and validating NFV ecosystems in line with ETSI GS
NFV-TST 001, Spirent CloudSure is a uniquely flexible and adaptable
framework which can also address other cloud testing challenges,
such as comparing cloud performance, cloud workload migration, and
capacity planning.”
Cloud testing typically generates hundreds of metrics, making it
challenging for users to find the most relevant statistics to
pinpoint problem areas and gain visibility into performance
bottlenecks. Making use of Spirent TestCenter IQ, CloudSure
provides enhanced troubleshooting and reporting to allow users to
quickly manipulate results, sort and filter data, and easily
drill-down to identify problems.
“By helping to understand NFV and cloud infrastructure
performance and gain actionable insights into poor performance,
CloudSure enables service providers to deliver expected QoE
(quality of experience) to end users and assure successful NFV
deployments,” said Kastuar.
