SD-WAN Optimization

Keysight CyPerf pioneered the agent-based network application and security test solution category, meticulously recreating realistic workloads across diverse physical and cloud environments to deliver unparalleled insights into end user quality of experience (QoE), security posture, and performance bottlenecks of distributed networks. With CyPerf, organizations validate software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solutions and the bandwidth performance and QoE of various SD-WAN topologies, along with security efficacy of SD-WAN security offerings.

Challenges of Creating Resilient, High-Performing, and Secure SD-WANs

• Ensuring smooth deployment of SD-WAN infrastructure over complex topologies like physically distributed branches, clouds, and datacenters

• Validating SD-WAN performance in highly dynamic conditions that include cloud and hardware variables

• Measuring key performance indicators, latencies, and quality of experience of the SD-WAN tunnels as they spread across wide area networks

• Maintaining resiliency of SD-WAN tunnels to debug and remediate tunnel disappearance, flapping and other inconsistencies rampant in this environment

CyPerf—Your Solution to Ensuring High-Performing SD-WANs

• Validate security features like application profiling and blocking, malware mitigation, exploit detection and block, URL filtering, file inspection

• Generate both application and attack traffic to accurately evaluate the performance cost of security features strike a right balance with QoE

• Conduct relevant demos and proof of concepts and verify service-level agreements 

• Optimize SD-WAN deployments using distributed CyPerf test agents deployed in physical and cloud exchanging application traffic between them

• Evaluate key performance indicators of SD-WAN  tunnels and understand maximum and average latencies, concurrency, and throughput
