virtualisation & cloud computing Further fl exibility
Visual Network Systems has announced a new version of OmniPoint Element, with support of virtual environments, further expanding fl exibility of deployment and visibility of Visual Performance Manager into cloud environments. OmniPoint Element is software point of presence instrumentation. Combined with Visual Performance Manager with multi-tenancy support, the solution provides visibility across the entire service delivery infrastructure. This solution is designed to enable cloud service providers to create managed services for their cloud infrastructure. As the number of cloud providers increases, the ability to provide value added services in addition to providing infrastructure services is critical for competitive differentiation in the market. Visual Network Systems, with over a decade of partnerships with major service providers to deliver value added managed services, has the ideal platform and technology to enable the next generation of managed services for the cloud environment. Cloud service providers will appreciate the deployment flexibility of OmniPoint, which provides support for a variety of platforms with a highly scalable design. OmniPoint Element has successfully completed interoperability testing with the Cisco SRE-V platform on the Cisco SRE 700 and 900 blades within the integrated services routers category.

special feature New approach
The IxLoad-VM from Ixia is a solution for testing virtualised data centres and their infrastructures.
IxLoad-VM measures the quality and capacity of cloud data centre components, applications and networks to deliver effective cloud based services. Application virtualisation in a cloud environment is a compelling solution with economic, fl exibility and capacity benefi ts for enterprises of all sizes. The
shared and distributed nature of cloud computing components, however, makes it extremely diffi cult to predict requirements and optimise performance. In order to measure the true capacity and quality of virtualised applications and infrastructures, a new and unique testing approach is required.
The IxLoad-VM solution assesses application performance across the virtualised data centre in conjunction with IxNetwork-VM, which assesses layer 2/3 network performance in virtual environments. IxLoad-VM uses ‘virtual test ports’, which are virtualised software implementations of its Ethernet test equipment. Ixia’s virtual test ports measure true quality of experience (QoE) and capacity using real world application and storage area network (SAN) traffi c from virtualised hosts. Traffi c generation and measurement from virtual machines (VMs) correctly characterises each application and virtual data centre component. An additional test solution, IxLoad-VDI determines the true capacity of virtual desktop servers by emulating large numbers of virtual desktop clients.
