Spirent TestCenter(TM) Expands Functionality for Testing Next Generation Data Center Infrastructure.Spirent TestCenter[TM] Adds 10GBASE-T Capability for Testing to the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3an Standard SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Spirent Communications plc (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :SPT (Sectors Per Track) The number of sectors in one track. ), a global provider of performance analysis and service management solutions, today announced new functionality for its recently unveiled Spirent TestCenter platform built on Inspire Architecture(TM). Spirent TestCenter offers the highest port density 10GBASE-T test capability available in the industry, with twice the density of competitive test and measurement solutions. Spirent TestCenter with 10GBASE-T enables the evaluation of a wide range of network devices to validate data center network infrastructure equipment. Adding 10GBASE-T increases flexibility and productivity for test engineers by allowing the simultaneous testing of fiber and copper 10GbE interfaces on the same test module. Spirent's 10GBASE-T interface is 802.3an standard compliant and based on the single-chip solution from Teranetics, a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. based in Santa Clara, Calif. The 10GBASE-T interface is hot-swappable and interchangeable with a portfolio of existing 10GbE interfaces on Spirent TestCenter's Multiple MSA (Metropolitan Service Area) An urban area with at least 50,000 people plus surrounding counties. There are 306 MSAs and 428 RSAs (rural service areas) in the U.S. MSAs and RSAs are used to allocate cellular licenses. test modules, including XFP XFP 10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable Module XFP Extra-Fine-Pitch XFP Ten Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable , XENPAK, X2 and 10-GBASE-CX4. Spirent's 10GBASE-T supports the IEEE802.3an and the TIA-155 specified cables types: CAT6, and CAT7 and the newer CAT6 Augmented. "10GBASE-T is poised to become the connection technology of choice for cost effective, high bandwidth network applications," said Matt Rhodes, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Teranetics. "Spirent TestCenter configured with the Teranetics 10GBASE-T interface delivers unmatched capability for the network equipment test engineer to develop new bandwidth-intensive applications that next-generation IT networks must have." Spirent is bringing its 10GBASE-T test product to the market to enable network equipment manufacturers, communications chip, transceiver and cable providers to perform functional and stress tests early in the product development cycle. For high port density applications, Spirent's 10GBASE-T solution provides up to twenty-four ports in a rackmount chassis and four ports in a portable chassis. The 10GBASE-T product is completely modular to allow customers to configure the system as required for cost effectiveness. "Spirent is helping its customers quickly navigate the complexities of the latest 10-Gigabit Ethernet technologies to accelerate the product development cycle," said Rob Piconi, chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. for Spirent Communications. "Adding 10GBASE-T capability to Spirent TestCenter is another example of how we are providing our customers a competitive advantage to get to market faster and improve ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ." Spirent TestCenter built on Inspire Architecture combines the right mix of testing components to deliver an unmatched combination of scalability, accuracy, density, automation and speed. It covers a broad range of network technologies that deliver a converged test platform that overcomes the challenges related to test complexity, scarcity of advanced test skills and the architectural shortcomings of traditional test solutions.
