Spirent Launches HyperMetrics
Spirent Communications plc , has launched the HyperMetrics(TM) family of modules on the Spirent TestCenter platform. HyperMetrics has a multi-core architecture that addresses port density as well as the critical aspect of realism required to ensure Quality of Experience (QoE) for new services helping to maximize return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) throughout the test lifecycle.
"With the evolution to intelligent content aware networks, service providers and network equipment manufacturers need to furnish tools and functions to plan, measure, monitor, and assure evolving traffic patterns, new services, and optimized application performance," said Michael Howard, principal analyst at Infonetics Research. "This is not an easy task -- it means that increasing port density or adding new protocols is necessary but clearly not sufficient for test engineers. What's required are realistic network environments representing the end-to-end complex conditions of next-gen IP networks including aspects such as scalability and performance."
Traditionally, test solutions focused on a single dimension of either port density or Layer 2-3 network emulation or Layer 4-7 application performance. As a result, the customer's initial investment was limited only to a specific test in the development cycle. As network elements and services become more sophisticated, they require testing beyond Layer 2-3 considerations of throughput, latency and loss to include QoE measurements (Layer 4-7).
HyperMetrics' high density, multi-core architecture delivers enhanced realism with scalability and performance along with the capability to reallocate processing power to conduct complex yet realistic testing. The emphasis on performance and application realism rather than just port density enables test engineers to invest in a single solution for all their testing needs ultimately reducing capital expenses, while staying within limited operational budgets.
"As the testing standard for tomorrow's networks, Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics goes beyond advanced functionality to include investment protection," said Tim Jefferson, general manager, Converged Core Solutions group at Spirent Communications. "In this tough economic environment our customers require a solution that allows them to test to new levels of enhanced realism with scalability and performance."
The Spirent TestCenter HyperMetrics modules are designed to offer network equipment manufacturers and service providers a robust and scalable test platform with a flexible user experience for conducting end-to-end Layer 2-7 multi-play testing at gigabit or 10gigabit line rates. The modules, available in a variety of port densities, include the HyperMetrics Converged (CV), HyperMetrics Converged Multi-play (CM) and HyperMetrics Application Performance (AP) modules.

TIBCO Launches Messaging Hardware
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) delivered the first hardware offering in the company's history, TIBCO Messaging Appliance™ P-7500. This radical new offering from a recognized messaging industry leader shatters a previously insurmountable messaging latency problem by taking an approach that lowers latency, improves predictability, and provides increased throughput by implementing TIBCO messaging in hardware.
"Messaging is the backbone of communications between IT systems. Whether used as a way to integrate applications or to disseminate data across systems in real time, message volumes are exploding," according to Maureen Fleming, program director, business process management and middleware at IDC. "Messaging appliances promise to improve both the cost-performance ratio and manageability of messaging and are an important next step in the evolution of this mission critical technology."
Extending TIBCO's 25-year history of continuous innovation, TIBCO Messaging Appliance™ P-7500 delivers a number of key metrics that will change the game for customers:
-- 10X increase in messaging volume of current software-only solutions
-- 50% reduction in base latency
-- 10X increase in the predictability of data flows and performance
"Even in a period of turmoil in financial markets, the one constant is a steady increase in trading volume," said Tom Laffey, executive vice president, products and technology at TIBCO. "As a result, data-intensive industries -- financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, government and major online commerce companies -- need lower latency and increased throughput at lower costs."
Messaging is Growing Fast and Furious
Mainstream messaging volumes in enterprise IT today routinely reach the level of 1 million events per second, supporting tens to hundreds of services. This volume is expected to experience a quantum leap soon. Leading-edge companies are already witnessing volumes of 5 million events per second, and this level is expected to rise to 10 million-plus very soon, often supporting thousands of services.
"The messaging infrastructure backbone is at its breaking point," continued Laffey. "Software has reached its limit in ultra-low latency messaging, focusing increasing importance on the hardware 'plumbing' to deliver future performance increases."
In addition to high performance, ultra-low latency messaging requirements, TIBCO Messaging Appliance also helps TIBCO Rendezvous® customers reduce costs and gain efficiency in the servers required to support a Rendezvous® network. Through the use of TIBCO Messaging Appliance, customers can achieve a 10-to-1 reduction in the number of servers required by their messaging infrastructure, reinforcing TIBCO's commitment to Green IT.
"The P-7500 is the result of our work with literally hundreds of customers worldwide in all major geographies and markets. It addresses an area in critical need of a breakthrough idea. This is just the first in a series of hardware products that TIBCO plans to offer to its customers," Laffey concluded.
TIBCO Messaging Appliance employs a pure hardware approach, utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technologies. TIBCO Messaging Appliance is offered in three different network configurations: 4-1Gb Ethernet connections, 8-1Gb Ethernet connections, and 2 - 10Gb Ethernet connections. Its 375W power consumption delivers new power-use efficiencies, and is the same size as a standard 4U server unit.
TIBCO Messaging Appliance preserves the investment customers have made in their Rendezvous applications by providing drop-in compatibility with existing versions of Rendezvous client libraries. TIBCO Messaging Appliance includes redundant power supplies, fans, and other mechanical components to protect against failure within each appliance, Additionally, it adds built-in hardware fault tolerance for increased reliability and active-active failover between two appliances.

Lockheed Martin Completes Flight Software Testing
The first Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) geosynchronous orbit (GEO-1) satellite, built by a Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) team for the U.S. Air Force, has successfully completed a major test utilizing new flight software that will enable highly reliable spacecraft command and control operations.
The SBIRS program is designed to provide early warning of missile launches, and simultaneously support other missions including missile defense, technical intelligence and battlespace awareness.
The successful test of the GEO-1 spacecraft, known as Baseline Integrated System Test (BIST), was conducted from Jan. 2 to Jan. 27, 2009 at Lockheed Martin's Space Systems facilities in Sunnyvale, Calif. The test characterized the performance of the integrated satellite and established a performance baseline prior to entering thermal vacuum testing.
"This achievement is another example of our effective collaboration and joint commitment to successful execution of this critical national system," said Col. Roger Teague, the U.S. Air Force's SBIRS Wing Commander. "The team executed a smooth and efficient test, giving us high confidence that we are ready to enter thermal vacuum testing, one of our most critical program milestones."
Lockheed Martin's SBIRS flight software architecture is designed to enable robust command and data handling, fault management and safe-hold capabilities on the GEO satellite system.
"The fully-integrated GEO-1 satellite utilizing our new flight software architecture performed with outstanding results," said Jeff Smith, Lockheed Martin's SBIRS vice president. "We look forward to proceeding with thermal vacuum testing and delivering the first-of-its-kind data from this spacecraft to the warfighter."
The new flight software used during BIST contains applications that control space vehicle electrical power, temperature, attitude and navigation. It also features a robust fault management system, which responds when an anomaly is detected during on-orbit operations, putting the satellite into a safe state while ground operators analyze the situation and take corrective action.
Delivery of the final flight software block is planned for February to support thermal vacuum testing which will validate spacecraft performance at temperature extremes greater than those expected during on-orbit operations. The spacecraft is planned for delivery to the Air Force in fiscal year 2010 in preparation for launch aboard an Atlas V launch vehicle.
The SBIRS team is led by the Space Based Infrared Systems Wing at the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif. Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Sunnyvale, Calif., is the SBIRS prime contractor, with Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, Azusa, Calif., as the payload integrator. Air Force Space Command operates the SBIRS system.
Lockheed Martin's current SBIRS contract includes the two HEO payloads now on-orbit, two GEO satellites, as well as ground-based assets to receive and process the infrared data. The program is in the early stages of adding additional GEO spacecraft and HEO payloads to the planned constellation.
The SBIRS program is designed to provide early warning of missile launches, and simultaneously support other missions including missile defense, technical intelligence and battlespace awareness.
The successful test of the GEO-1 spacecraft, known as Baseline Integrated System Test (BIST), was conducted from Jan. 2 to Jan. 27, 2009 at Lockheed Martin's Space Systems facilities in Sunnyvale, Calif. The test characterized the performance of the integrated satellite and established a performance baseline prior to entering thermal vacuum testing.
"This achievement is another example of our effective collaboration and joint commitment to successful execution of this critical national system," said Col. Roger Teague, the U.S. Air Force's SBIRS Wing Commander. "The team executed a smooth and efficient test, giving us high confidence that we are ready to enter thermal vacuum testing, one of our most critical program milestones."

EXFO Releases hssFled
EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. (NASDAQ:EXFO) (NASDAQ:TSX:) (NASDAQ:EXF) announced today the release of hssFlex, the industry's first fully integrated Home Subscriber Servers (HSS) emulator for Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks.
The HSS, the master database in IMS architectures, plays a critical role in the authentication and authorization of subscribers. Without proper access to the HSS, subscribers cannot access network services, resulting in significant network downtime, customer churn and loss of revenue.
When combined with EXFO's IMS subscriber emulator, the hssFlex can wrap around an IMS network to provide comprehensive, end-to-end testing, or simply characterize single network elements such as application servers or call session controllers.
Key test features include the ability to simulate real-world interactions like subscribers updating their services, subscriber services being terminated due to non-payment of bills, and characterization of the impact of denial of service (DOS) attacks on the IMS network. Like EXFO's other IMS test suites, the hssFlex complies with industry standards, but also provides the flexibility to simulate proprietary and non-complaint IMS traffic.
EXFO's InterWatch platform, the most advanced and scalable test solution for IMS network elements, now comes equipped with the hssFlex emulator. The new software suite can also be purchased by existing InterWatch owners at a competitive price.
"For network equipment manufacturers and network operators, who are developing or deploying IMS networks, it is critical for them to understand the interaction between the HSS and IMS core," said Etienne Gagnon, EXFO's Vice-President of Product Management and Marketing. "Testing elements in isolation will only produce an incomplete picture of an IMS network and services. Our fully integrated IMS-HSS emulator provides customers with peace of mind."
