Along with helping F5 test VIPRION, Ixia Networks will also release a data center performance testing solution, the eight-port 10 GbE IxYukon Load Module. The high density and high performance tool is designed to save companies space, energy and air conditioning costs. It offers four times the 10 GbE port density in the same lab space. With the IxYukon, 96 10 GbE test ports can fit in a standard 19-inch rack-mount Ixia XM12 chassis. Competitors require four fully loaded chassis to match 96 ports in the single chassis 10 GbE solution. It also requires half the electrical power of the nearest competitor, Ixia said.
