Testing in the ATC makes it all real. As an example, we use enterprise-class traffic generation tools, such as Ixia IxLoad, to simulate the applications that are unique to your organization to show how a solution seamlessly integrates into your network. Over the years we have developed a testing framework that allows us to go from concept to test plan to achieve the outcome needed for your product or solution evaluation.
