Qosmos Depends On BreakingPoint Elite For Testing Network Intelligence Technology
BreakingPoint helps accelerate Qosmos' product development and ensures critical performance requirements through testing DPI-capabilities using realistic application traffic
Austin, TX (PRWEB) -- Qosmos, the innovative provider of software modules and appliances specially designed to collect network intelligence, has selected the BreakingPoint Elite for comprehensive Layer 2-7 network equipment testing.
Qosmos' technology identifies and extracts information traveling over networks in real time, enabling a wide range of applications such as lawful interception, network protection, data retention, regulatory compliance, content-based billing, audience measurement and service optimization.
A real-time view of network events is crucial for a variety of business and security objectives. Extracting and analyzing both the granular details and the surrounding context of real-time data as it crosses networks provides a true picture of its purpose and value. Qosmos' Network Intelligence technology identifies hundreds of protocols (the programming syntax that synchronizes data transmission between communications servers) and thousands of attributes within underlying metadata, giving solution providers a vast and growing knowledgebase of how applications and protocols are actually used.
"Using BreakingPoint Elite in testing Qosmos technology accelerates our time to market and ensures that we meet the performance requirements our customers demand for speed, security and scalability so that they can protect and optimize their solutions," said Jérôme Tollet, CTO & Co-Founder, Qosmos.
Comprehensive testing of sophisticated content- and context-aware network technology like Qosmos' demands a new level of realism and performance to enable more powerful solutions. Legacy testing tools simply could not provide Qosmos with realistic blended application traffic, mixed with live security strikes and limitless performance scalability.
"BreakingPoint Elite was created to finally give organizations the ability to properly test the next generation of network equipment. Qosmos' data intensive network intelligence products are a terrific example of this next generation of products and certainly required a new method for testing. Only a few years ago a company such as Qosmos had few options when it came to high-performance and realistic testing tools. Today, with BreakingPoint Elite's capabilities, we are helping these companies accelerate the development of the next generation of network equipment," said Dennis Cox, CTO & Co-Founder, BreakingPoint Systems.
BreakingPoint Elite: The Only Testing Tool Capable of Testing Next-Generation Products Testing of this complex technology requires the BreakingPoint Elite, a comprehensive Layer 2-7 testing tool that emulates the most application protocols in the industry, 4,000 live security strikes and up to 20 Gigabits per second (Gbps) per blade of Layer 4-7 traffic. This level of testing realism is critical in allowing Qosmos to accelerate product development and reduce the time-to-test for their network intelligence products.
