Xena Networks Valkyrie 25GE Test Modules

Many data centers now using 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connections need more bandwidth to handle the huge increase in e.g. cloud-based services. Instead of adding more 10GE ports or upgrading to 40GE, many companies are choosing the newly standardized single lane 25GE technology.

It’s less expensive than adding more 10G ports and provides 2.5 times more capacity per port – without pushing power consumption through the roof.

NextGig Systems offers these Xena test modules for testing 25GE:

Loki-100G-5S-1P	Thor-400G-7S-1P
(# of Ports / Speed) 1 x 100GE ports 2 x 50GE ports 1 x 40GE ports 4 x 25GE ports 4 x 10GE ports	(# of Ports / Speed) 1 x 400GE ports 2 x 200GE ports 4 x 100GE ports 8 x 50GE ports 2 x 40GE ports 8 x 25GE ports 8 x 10GE ports
A 5-speed test module that offers a single QSFP28/QSFP+ transceiver cage, and two SFP28/SFP+ transceiver cages.	A 5-speed test module that offers a single QSFP28/QSFP+ transceiver cage, and two SFP28/SFP+ transceiver cages.

25GE Pricing

Xena Ethernet testing solutions are renowned for their price/performance value – you get a lot of great features at a very affordable price. To help you evaluate our 25GE solutions we are happy to offer free online demo session where we walk you through all the software and answer any questions you might have regarding your specific test scenario.

If you already know what you need, we can also arrange for a quick quote. Part of our value proposition is that we include all software and 3 years’ of upgrades free of charge with every L2-3 solution. We also offer free technical support for the lifetime of the product and a year’s free hardware warranty.

Xena offers a choice of two chassis 1U and 4U that can be equipped with an extensive range of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet test modules supporting all Ethernet speeds 1GE, 2.5GE, 5GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE, 100GE, 200GE and 400GE.

The chassis and test modules are controlled via Xena’s ValkyrieManager, a Windows GUI client provided for ad-hoc test execution, and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations. Also included are standalone applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889 and RFC 3918 testing.

Finally, an open TCP/IP-based text API lets users automate testing from any software environment, using Tcl, Python, Perl, VBA and Java wrappers to convert to/from the generic Xena Command Line Interface (CLI) format.

The Xena Networks test equipment can handle the widest range of lab-based test scenarios – performance testing, functional testing, QoS and so on – with a minimum of fuss.

Pricing is considerably lower than the industry leaders – especially when you factor in our policy of including 3 years’ free software upgrades and HW warranty, plus free training and tech support

Xena is repeatedly praised for being user-friendly. The hardware is easy to install and configure, and the intuitive software really does make life simpler for test engineers

Valkyrie reflects its Scandinavian roots – a quality product loaded with smart “no-fuss” features that delivers great value, from a company that sincerely cares about customer satisfaction.
