Network Performance Testing

IXIA announced a couple of days ago a new testing solution for virtualized data centers – IxVM.  There aren’t many details on the product yet other than the press release, but it seems pretty straightforward.

From the press release, it seems to be a version of IxChariot that will allow you to aggregate reporting and management of many endpoints distributed on VMware virtual machines.  This would allow you to test virtualized environments better than most other solutions I’ve seen so far.

Again, there’s not much info that I can find about the details – it will be interesting to see how integrated this tool is with VMware and virtualized environments in general.  It will also be interesting to see if support for other virtualization technologies is planned.
