Abstract

Brocade Communications, Inc. commissioned Tolly to validate the performance of its ServerIron ADX 8000 application switch. This device was outfitted with 16 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and ran 32 application processing cores.

Test covered L4-7 performance measuring transactions and connections per second, aggregate bandwidth, DNS query response capacity and resistance to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

This is the FIRST test to be published in accordance with Tolly Common Test Plan #1077 Application Switches V1.1. That document is available for license and you can find more information about it on the Tolly Common Test Plan website.

Note: The actual test environment was demonstrated at the Brocade booth at Interop Las Vegas May 2009.
