Xena provides a new class of professional gigabit Ethernet test infrastructure for the Ethernet ecosystem, delivering a breakthrough price performance benchmark for load stress and functional testing of Ethernet equipment and network infrastructure. In addition, the world’s highest density and lowest power consumption per test port delivers a test platform ready for the future.

Developers and providers of Ethernet based network appliances and services can deploy the Xena Networks test platform as an ideal complement or alternative to existing test equipment solutions, at a price point which obsolete in-house custom built test solution projects.

The Xena test platform provides an open environment where traffic from any 3rd party software application or test suite can be fully transparently mixed with L2-3 traffic generated at wire speed. A Vista/XP GUI client is provided for test execution, and remote management of test equipment located in multiple locations. In addition, an open TCP/IP based text API allows users to script and automate testing from any software, tool environment, and test location.

The Xena Ethernet Test Infrastructure platform provides a complete suite of copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules. The 10-GigE interfaces include optical XFP, SFP+, and copper CX4. The GigE interfaces include copper 10/100/1000M Ethernet and optical 100/1000M Ethernet. Two chassis product series are available, the compact and transportable XenaCompact and the scalable high-density XenaBay series.

For test suites, Xena Networks and Net-O2 Technologies have worked together to create an innovative Ethernet test platform that combines Xena’s high performance, wire-speed Ethernet test hardware with Net-O2’s broad portfolio of IP & Ethernet functional and conformance test suites.
