Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is an emerging alternative for organizations needing high performance WAN connectivity as well as data security services. SD-WAN has great potential for WAN link spin up time and dramatic savings in cost over traditional classic WAN links such as MPLS or dedicated point-to-point lines. However, it is critical to test SD-WAN infrastructure and mission-critical applications that are moving from enterprise premises to the cloud – all while ensuring scalability, security, reliability and performance.



Overview and test scenarios explaining how to ensure performance and SLAs with proven test methodologies using Spirent’s SD-WAN test solutions.

The Spirent 2020 5G Report

Every day, operators make a promise to deliver high quality mobile services to their customers. 5G raises expectations of consumers—and the bar for service providers. 5G business cases call for dense wireless coverage for millions of connections and low latency. The only way to assure that millions of small cells and backhaul links will meet service level agreements (SLAs) at turn-up and during live operation afterwards is to perform continuous active testing of the links via an automated approach. Traditional manual testing methods are simply impractical for current and future needs.

Case Study: Solving the Challenge of Massive Small Cell Deployment for 5G

For 5G Security – Mitigate risks, maximize opportunities.

In today’s virtualized software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) environments, an organization will move some or all of the traditional private WAN infrastructure over secure virtual ‘Circuits’ riding over public and semi-public clouds. This technology has great potential for WAN link spin up time and dramatic cost savings over traditional classic WAN links such as MPLS or dedicated point-to-point lines.



Learn about the unique testing challenges and best practices associated with SD-WAN infrastructure testing success. 

White Paper: Critical SD-WAN Test Patterns and Measurements

Critical SD-WAN Test Patterns and Measurements

Cloud Services whether SaaS, IaaS, CaaS, VDI, or PaaS are adding incredible diversity in both the number of providers and services offered. Most of this ecosystem is running on a handful of virtual platforms—or Hypervisors—from vendors such as VMware, Amazon, and Microsoft, or from an open source platform like KVM. Compared to traditional server-client applications running over traditional IP networking products, virtualization platforms are comparatively new. They are also considerably less tested in terms of network application performance as they run over standard x86 based server hardware, opposed to purpose built proprietary hardware from networking equipment vendors.



Spirent discusses why testing hypervisor performance for Cloud and NFV use cases is critical, especially in a live cloud and virtual environment.

Key Considerations for Virtual Infrastructure Benchmarking

For Testing SD-WAN eBook

The complexity of 5G security is so overwhelming that it actually creates a new form of risk: inertia.

5G is a limitless market opportunity—if you can reduce the risks for end users, your supply chain, and your business.

CSPs must embrace extreme operations automation and look at every opportunity to reduce human intervention in order to deliver on the promise of digital transformation and 5G, and to support dynamic services such as SD-WAN. However, CSPs must not wait for the full implementation of cloud-native 5G networks to start their journeys towards extreme automation. Assurance processes such as active testing provide an early opportunity for automation in today’s operational scenarios for existing services on physical networks. These processes also set the stage for extreme automation in cloud-native 5G networks.



CSPs must embrace automated operations powered by automated assurance to succeed in their digital transformation initiatives, and to operationalize 5G and SD-WAN at scale.
