The BPS-1000 is the first network test system that enables multi-layer emulation testing at multi-gigabit speeds, and it was developed by BreakingPoint Systems. The BPS-1000 will be the first in the market to offer complete network and security testing of layers 2 through 7 at the highest possible performance levels. The new solution brings performance testing, stress testing, security testing and conformance testing in a single device.

    Des Wilson, chief executive officer of BreakingPoint, stated: "For nearly a decade, the network test and measurement market has seen zero innovation. Traditional test equipment is archaic and incapable of meeting the demands of today's evolving networks and applications. The BPS-1000 is based on the latest high speed networking technologies available in the market today. BreakingPoint Systems was founded to give today's high performance networking equipment manufacturers and their customers test tools to finally bridge the gap between the lab and the real world."

    In addition, Ken Draper, consulting engineer, security solutions at Juniper Networks, said: "Where we previously required three different testing systems, we can now use the BPS-1000 instead. The ease of use and intuitive interface allows us to extend the testing capabilities to our systems engineers in the various regions with little or no training." Even more, Frost & Sullivan analyst Sujan Sami, added: "Acknowledging the challenge of keeping pace with new technologies faced by test managers, BreakingPoint Systems has taken a new holistic approach to network testing by leveraging the latest network processing technology to allow concurrent testing at the highest possible performance levels"

The new product - The BPS-1000 offers:

    * Full control over playback of captured traffic patterns
    * Layer 4 TCP testing
    * Protocol Fuzzing
    * Traditional layer 2/3 testing
    * Generation of over 3,000 security attacks
    * Application Simulation

    The company is located in Austin, Texas and is led by a world-class management team. The management team has built such companies as NetSpeed, now Cisco Systems; TippingPoint, now 3Com; NetWorth, now Hewlett Packard and Hekimian Laboratories, now Spirent Communications; this group of executives has once again established a company to offer a solution to fill a major hole in the industry. With the commercial availability of the BPS-1000, the test industry changes today.
