The Spirent HyperScale test solution is designed to test cloud data centers at extreme scales of thousands of virtual machines (VMs). It uses a modular approach with components like the Synchronized Test Orchestrator to manage test cases across all VMs, and the Virtual Deployment Service to automatically deploy VMs. This allows validation of infrastructure to handle large volumes of traffic and meets the needs of modern, large cloud data centers.

- 1. Spirent HyperScale Test Solution Ultimate Scale Test of a Cloud Data Center With increased adoption of Cloud Computing, more and more companies are looking to transform their data centers infrastructure progressively breaking away the rules of traditional IP networks. Ensuring next-gen networks and virtual devices behave intuitively based on the configurations and scale continues to be a challenge. As a cloud or service provider, you need to validate the infrastructure to handle thousands of VMs and meet the traffic requirements of a modern cloud datacenter. Testing at such extreme scales cannot be done with your usual test tools. Spirent HyperScale test solution is the industry’s first solution to meet extreme scale testing needs. Its modular approach can simulate thousands of real-world environments to test and validate your entire data center infrastructure with following components. Synchronized Test Orchestrator: This is a software module that manages test cases across the entire testbed. It is designed to synchronize all the VMs to give you a large scale test. Virtual Deployment Service (VDS): This is a software module that automatically spins up Virtual Machines (VMs), in each tenant thereby saving time during test bed upgrades. VDS consists of Python libraries that allow you to manage test assets like Spirent HyperScale and TestCenter Virtual across different cloud platforms. VDS functionality is exposed as a set of REST API commands, with which you can perform complete lifecycle management of Spirent Virtual offerings.

VDS can be leveraged to spawn these test VMs at huge scale to simulate the real world traffic condition. Turn up and tear down of test VMs to minimize the time spent on test infrastructure setup and orchestrate the test VMs in a simplistic and rapid manner. On demand automated provisioning of the testbed in the DevOps cycle expedites the testing experience and helps organizations deliver their solution. Rapid deployment and upgrade of the infrastructure allows for easy maintenance - especially when the testbed is huge and the time consumption is multi-fold. With the help of VDS, old VMs can be redeployed with the new image and be easily upgraded with new features and bug fixes.
