Alluvio NetProfiler vs IxNetwork VE comparison

To really understand what is happening to your applications, you need proactive visibility that spans your hybrid network. Alluvio NetProfiler uses full-fidelity network traffic flow monitoring to proactively identify and quickly troubleshoot performance and security issues. Easily answer bandwidth analysis questions like “How much traffic is being consumed?” “Who is using it?” “Where is it going?” and “How is traffic is being prioritized?”

Alluvio NetProfiler provides network flow analytics that you can use to quickly diagnose network issues and identify security threats before end users ever know there’s a problem. NetProfiler combines network flow data with packet-based flow metrics to provide proactive monitoring, analysis, and reporting. 

IxNetwork VE is designed to test the functional and performance testing of physical and virtual network infrastructure, capacity, scalability, and convergence using scaled protocol emulation and traffic. IxNetwork VE can emulate protocols for routing and switching, data center Ethernet, software-defined networking (SDN), broadband access, and industrial Ethernet.

• Provides comprehensive protocol coverage for routing/switching, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), broadband access, data center networking, and SDN
• Powerful traffic generation and statistics engine including stateless L2-3 traffic and stateful L4-7 application flows
• Common IxNetwork user interface across both Ixia hardware and virtual products enables end-to-end virtual and hardware based testing from a single pane of glass
• VMs of the Ixia hardware components (virtual chassis, virtual load modules_ are software that is optimized for protocol emulation and traffic generation in a virtual environement
• Comprehensive platform support including standalone hypervisors (VMware ESXi and KVM) and OpenStack-based private clouds
