Vision... Gigabit Ethernet is being rapidly deployed to handle the exponential increase in data traffic. The need for low-cost feature-rich Ethernet testing solutions will explode. Xena Networks will meet this demand.
Our Goal To make Ethernet test solutions that are very affordable, easy-touse, scalable and flexible. "Xena's solutions cost less than $10,000 per 10GbE test port, in comparison to typical solutions which cost $20,000 to $40,000 per 10GbE test port. Prathima Bommakanti Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst
New Class of Ethernet Test Equipment INDUSTRY PROBLEM Huge demand - Never enough test ports High-end solutions are very expensive Low-end products aren t good enough, so companies develop in-house test equipment Ixia Spirent Exfo XENA S SOLUTION Xena provides +90% of L2/3 features - at a break-through price point. Great alternative or complement to existing high-end solutions. Home grown test $olution$ Free software Xena fills a glaring gap in the mid-range market
Solving Test Equipment Challenges CHALLENGES CapEx/OpEx cuts in current economic climate $10-20k per 10GbE test port Transition from GbE to 10GbE to 40/100GbE Multiple geographical sites, sales/apps offices Testing during high-load scenarios Non-interoperable test platforms In-house test solution development XENA s SOLUTION Industry-leading price performance benchmark Sub $6k per 10GbE test port $50-100k cost-saving for 24 port 10GbE testbed XenaCompact product series Scalable to 100 s of Gbps of L2/3 traffic and flows Open test platform for converged testbeds Focus in-house resources on your true value add
