Summary: Spirent Axon: Rapid answers to the question, “Will it work?” The average enterprise needs to do a considerable amount of verification to ensure applications and networks run properly. However IT operations teams don’t typically have the time for complex testing setups and executions. Take for example a new video conferencing service that will allow remote employees and multiple branch offices to seamlessly connect with other staff members in virtual rooms. Before such a setup is deployed, there are many unknowns and potentially some “growing pains” such as packet loss problems and non-optimal QoE. Network engineers need a test tool that is able to perform the most complex tests, but can be configured and present results in simple terms. The typical IT operations personnel does not need or want to know all the ins and outs of the various testing methodologies (in this case IPv4 and HTTP among others), they just want to know if their configuration works, and if it doesn’t, do they have the information to find the problem quickly.
