STREAM ORIENTED TRAFFIC GENERATION

Users can define and generate hundreds of transmit and receive UDP/ Multicast/ TCPstreams with their own unique traffic profile making it easy to scale up the tests beyond the SUT maximum performance.

I/O TESTING

• Perform I/O operations under various patterns on Windows/ Linux Guest OS.
• Drive I/O traffic from hundreds of VM simultaneously to a single datastore and collect I/O performance metrics.
• I/O traffic can be against files on file system Guest OS or against raw Guest OS disk drives.
• Use industry standard I/O tools: IOMETER, IORATE and IOZONE.

APPLICATION TRAFFIC

ZTF controls real-life applications in order to test the Data Center infrastructure (network, datastore, blade servers).

Sample application integrations:

• MS SQL Server
• VMware VDI Client
• Dell DVD Store Test Application
• Hadoop cluster
• VLC Streaming server
• VLC Player
• Windows GUI applications control (MS Outlook, X-lite, etc.)

BENEFITS

• Minimize TCO
  • Software only solution
  • Use existing blade servers in the lab
• Single test solution for comprehensive assessment of integrated Data Center or its components apart
• Comprehensive functionality and performance verification before Data Center solution deployment
• Minimize test time
  • Technology wizards
  • Simple test bed provisioning by special preparation scripts
