BreakingPoint Cloud and Virtualization Data Sheet
- 1. Is Your Cloud Infrastructure Resilient Against Cyber Attack and High-Stress Application Traffic? Use the BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM™ to measure, harden, and optimize the performance, security, and stability of your virtualized infrastructure The Promise and Perils of Cloud Computing Cloud and virtualized environments promise a massive shared network and application infrastructure that provide all the benefits of dynamic resource allocation. Yet these environments, while distributing software, infrastructures, and platforms as a service, also lead to a highly variable and often unpredictable pool of users—as well as uncertain exposure to security threats. Understanding exactly how a cloud or virtualized environment will work is dependent on validating it with mixes of user load, application traffic, and attacks tailored to the unique conditions affecting that infrastructure. the power of network processor technology to produce always- The Cloud Resiliency Imperative: Rethink Legacy Testing current, application-rich traffic on a scale never before seen in a Approaches small product. Using these extreme conditions, you can quickly When building a cloud or virtualized environment, it is also and cost-effectively harden virtualized security, network, and important to understand the impact of this migration on cost, application infrastructures while optimizing delivery of services for performance, and stability. In the past, determining if the move customers. to a virtualized or cloud environment was right for your business required racks and racks of servers and a multitude of application The BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM’s capabilities have been honed licenses to simulate a realistic load.
