Data Center Systems
Modern data centers are at the heart of digital transformation. They host applications, manage business-critical data, and enable enterprises and service providers to deliver services with high performance and reliability. To protect these infrastructures and ensure uninterrupted operation, systems such as load balancers, content switches, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and firewalls must be tested for their ability to handle real-world challenges. A single performance bottleneck or security gap can compromise availability, degrade user experience, and cause serious business disruption.
EANTC provides independent validation of data center systems under realistic conditions. Our testing portfolio is designed to verify whether solutions deliver the promised levels of availability, resiliency, and performance even in demanding scenarios. We combine proven benchmarking methodologies with advanced emulation tools to replicate large-scale deployments, stress-test devices, and identify potential weaknesses before they affect production environments.
We offer structured test packages that cover the most critical aspects of data center systems:
Core Performance Validation
Session capacity and session setup rates under peak load
Bandwidth performance and throughput consistency
Response times and application-level performance
Reliability and resiliency during failure and recovery events
Extended Security and Application Testing
Defense against denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks
HTTPS and encrypted traffic performance validation
Rule set-based performance benchmarking for firewalls and IPS devices
Robustness of content inspection and intrusion prevention under stress
Customer benefits for service providers and enterprises
Independent validation provides clarity about the true performance limits of your systems. This knowledge enables you to plan investments effectively, optimize resource allocation, and ensure that your infrastructure supports critical applications without risk of overload or downtime.
Customer benefits for vendors
Our unbiased test results help you prove the quality and competitiveness of your products. By verifying your solutions under realistic conditions, we support product improvements and provide evidence that resonates with customers and strengthens your market position.
Our test methodologies are tailored to reflect real-world use cases, ensuring that performance benchmarks are not only accurate but also meaningful for deployment decisions. We deliver detailed reports with actionable insights that support both technical improvements and business goals.
EANTC’s testing of data center systems empowers organizations to build infrastructures that are secure, resilient, and future-ready. By combining independent validation with real-world performance scenarios, we help both vendors and operators minimize risks, accelerate deployments, and deliver reliable services that meet the expectations of modern digital businesses.
