Test Reports

Huawei commissioned us to verify their intelligent IP (2020) and Cloud (2021) network solution testing the commercial readiness of the solution's key technologies and fully developed capabilities for the all-service intelligent era. In 2021, Huawei demonstrated an impressive range of new functions supported across the family of NetEngine 8000 routers and the new ATN910D-A chassis.

EANTC independently verified a set of SaaS functions on ZenOSS to monitor Huawei OceanStor V5 Storage, including discovery, inventory and alarm collection. Specifically, we investigated the seamless integration of OceanStor with ZenOSS. We verified that the Huawei storage hardware could be fully displayed initially, and that storage configuration changes resulted in an updated inventory in ZenOSS.

Huawei commissioned EANTC to independently verify the interoperability of Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 All-Flash Storage with EMC's VPLEX block-based storage virtualization solution for the Storage Area Network (SAN). EANTC confirmed key functional interoperability and resiliency aspects, validating that Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 All-Flash Storage can be provisioned and operated efficiently and reliably through the EMC VPLEX solution.

EANTC has been commissioned by VIAVI to accredit the Viavi TeraVM test solution for use with the NetSecOPEN test methodology. VIAVI has passed our accreditation tests and has successfully been accredited by NetSecOPEN. The accreditation and this report cover the ability of VIAVI’s TeraVM to test next-generation firewalls.

EANTC confirmed the interoperability between Huawei OceanStor Dorado V6 Storage solution with selected VMware platforms and plugins. The solution demonstrated the capability of storage resources discovery, storage management, monitoring, data replication, resources orchestration, and site recovery management successfully.

EANTC has been commissioned by Lenovo to verify the performance and scalability of the NFWare virtual Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (vCGNAT) solution. In this test, the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 server hosted NFWare vCGNAT VM. EANTC tested the maximum throughput (Gbps), sessions setup rate (Sessions Per Second), and maximum concurrent sessions of NFWare vCGNAT.

Continuation to the previous report, published on February 2019, EANTC confirmed the performance gain that can be achieved by Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) using Fortinet FortiGate as a vSecGW. Our test of the Fortinet FortiGate showed that the Intel® QAT provides performance improvements in the virtualized environment by off-loading the compute-intensive encryption/decryption security operations to QAT adapters.

EANTC was commissioned by Intel to verify the performance gain of Intel Xeon Gold 6252N processors over Xeon Gold 6152 for a reference VNF which is F5 Networks BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager virtual edition.

Intel commissioned EANTC to verify the performance capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks virtual Next Generation Firewall (NG-FW) VM-700. EANTC’s tests were aligned with the use case of small data center NG-FW deployments. In these environments, HTTP/HTTPS traffic throughput and concurrent sessions are the significant parameters to evaluate the performance and the scalability of a NG-FW solution.

EANTC has been commissioned by Intel to evaluate the performance of a virtualized SGi firewall provided by F5 Networks and hosted on HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers provided by HPE.
