Ixia CloudStorm

CloudStorm is the first multi-terabit network security test platform delivering unprecedented performance to test and validate the increased capacity, efficiency, and resiliency of hyperscale cloud data centers.It enables users to validate a data center's capacity to handle cloud-scale applications, measure the impact of SSL traffic on performance, and assess Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation techniques to handle terabit attacks. This flexible and scalable solution simulates 2.4

terabits of mixed applications, as well as malicious traffic, to test the critical elements of complex data centers, including server applications, storage workloads, and network security devices.

Judge's comment: "Great solution idea. Performance and security are keys for IoT and virtualization being successfully implemented in the data center. Verifying its scalability breakpoint, security weakness, saleable performance ensure successful IT or CT operation."
