Measure And Harden The Resiliency Of Network And Data Center Infrastructure

BreakingPoint Resiliency Score™

BreakingPoint Resiliency Score Stress and measure the performance and security for network devices and virtualized servers Global enterprises, government agencies, and service providers want measurable answers, not assurances, when it comes to the performance, security, and stability of their networks and data centers. The ever-increasing complexity of network traffic and data center environments is exposing the weaknesses in public and private IT infrastructures. The core reason? Billions of dollars’ worth of network devices and data center implementations that do not perform as promised when deployed, leading to costly outages, data losses, cyber attacks, and other failures. BreakingPoint Resiliency Score: Ends the Vendor Data Sheet Guessing Game The BreakingPoint Resiliency Score™ and the BreakingPoint Data Center Resiliency Score™ put an end to relying on product marketing literature by establishing standards against which networks and data centers are measured. Each score provides an automated, standardized, and deterministic method for evaluating and ensuring resiliency. This feature of BreakingPoint Cyber Tomography Machines (CTM)™ provides the standard measurement using real-world application traffic, real-time security attacks, extreme user load, and application fuzzing. By using the BreakingPoint Resiliency Score, organizations can: t
Understand the exact performance, security, and stability of competitive products in a fraction of the time and save up to 50% on IT infrastructure investments by purchasing only what’s needed. t
Right size their infrastructure with advance insight into product capabilities and configuration requirements, while avoiding virtual machine sprawl, performance bottlenecks, security breaches, and outages. t
Definitively measure the number of concurrent users a virtualized server will support before response time and stability degrade. t
Improve application performance and roll out new applications and additional users with confidence with more granular preproduction insight into behavior.

t
Measure the effect of iterative changes to virtual resource variables (VMs, vCPUs, memory, disk and I/O) to pinpoint the maximum capacity and minimum resources required. t
Certify that changes to the environment will not negatively impact existing capacity and that any new application mix or device remains optimized. Calculating the BreakingPoint Resiliency Score The BreakingPoint Resiliency Score is calculated using standards by organizations such as US–CERT, IEEE, and IETF, as well as realworld traffic mixes from the world’s largest service providers. Users simply select the network or device for evaluation and the speed at which it is required to perform. The BreakingPoint CTM then runs a battery of simulations using a blended mix of application traffic and malicious attacks, including obfuscation and evasion techniques. The BreakingPoint Resiliency Score simulation provides a common network configuration for all devices in order to maintain fairness and consistency for all vendors.

BreakingPoint Resiliency Score

The BreakingPoint Resiliency Score is presented as a numeric grade from 1 to 100. Networks and devices may receive no score if they fail to pass traffic at any point or they degrade to an unacceptable performance level. The BreakingPoint Data Center Resiliency Score is presented as a numeric grade reflecting how many typical concurrent users a data center can support without degrading to an unacceptable quality of experience (QoE) level. Both scores allow organizations to quickly understand the degree to which infrastructure performance, security, and stability will be impacted by user load, new configurations, and the latest security attacks. About the BreakingPoint CTM BreakingPoint FireStorm CTM is used to evaluate, size, and configure IT infrastructures to perform optimally and securely while under load from millions of users, hundreds of applications, and thousands of cyber attacks. This all-in-one modeling and testing system pinpoints previously impossible-to-detect weaknesses and vulnerabilities in networks, network devices, and data centers before they can adversely affect IT operations. The BreakingPoint CTM is a 4U device that creates the online behavior of millions of simultaneous users, hundreds of applications, and thousands of security attacks, including: t
120 gigabits per second of blended stateful application traffic t
90 million concurrent TCP sessions t
3 million TCP sessions per second t
3 million complete TCP sessions per second t
120,000+ SSL sessions per second t
150+ stateful application protocols
