- Free tech support for product lifetime
Precision wire speed testing
The high precision, stream based, wire-speed traffic generation and analysis capabilities make it ideal for testing network devices under deliberate error, stress, and random conditions. Packet formats can be defined per individual packet byte, and packet spacing, transmission rates, and bursts can be defined with byte and kbps accuracy
Network equipment manufacturers and service providers can demonstrate that end user triple play QoE is guaranteed during network congestion, by generating traffic loads representing tens of thousands of individual network users.
Extensive software included
Included free with every ValkyrieCompact is a Packet Generator Analyzer package for testing RFC2544, RFC2889, RFC 3918, and Y.1564. The ValkyrieManager GUI makes ad-hoc test execution and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations, simple for management of very large numbers of test streams. The package also includes ValkyrieCLI which is an open TCP/IP based text API that lets users automate testing from any software environment, using Tcl, Python, Perl, VBA, Ruby and Java wrappers to convert to/from the generic Xena Command Line Interface (CLI) format.
A smart, sturdy flightcase is available for Xena’s ValkyrieCompact. It features custom padding and is ideal for protecting the ethernet tester during transportation.

All of Xena Networks Layer 2-3 test modules are available in the Valkyrie Compact chassis. The ValkyrieCompact was formerly named the XenaCompact.
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.
Why choose Valkyrie?
Valkyrie is a full-featured Layer 2-3 stateless traffic generator and analysis platform. It is used to configure and generate Ethernet traffic at all speeds up to 400GE, and analyze how network devices and services, perform in response, making it perfect for most lab-based data-plane test scenarios.
