Ixia (Nasdaq:XXIA) today announced that it will unveil the world’s first 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) validation solution at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) in Los Angeles from March 24, 2015 through March 26, 2015. Ixia’s solution—the latest in its history of first-to-market Ethernet speed innovations that span 40/100/400GbE—enables its customers to successfully deploy 25GbE in order to meet both the growing bandwidth requirements and cost and space considerations of ever-evolving data centers. Ixia, a member of the 25G/50G Ethernet Consortium and Ethernet Alliance, will demonstrate the solution at Ixia’s OFC booth (#2737).

25GbE has quickly emerged as a key in-rack connectivity technology for the ever-exploding, hyper-scale data center. 25GbE is a win-win option for data centers, by providing 2.5x the bandwidth of 10GbE, with minimal increase in footprint and an eye on OPEX.

"25GbE is a good example of the networking industry responding to a growing need in an agile manner. With the unprecedented explosion of bandwidth requirements in the data center, new technologies like 25GbE must be deployed very quickly. Ixia is at the forefront of making this happen,” said Sunil Kalidindi, Vice President, Product Management of Ixia. “Ixia has developed the world’s first validation solutions for many Ethernet technologies, including 100GbE QSFP28, 400GbE, and now 25GbE. Ixia continues to be an industry leader in creating the solutions that help our customers develop and deploy Ethernet technologies, and successfully deliver application performance.”

Ixia’s 25GbE solution builds on its first-to-market, native QSFP28 Xcellon™-Multis load modules by providing the 25GbE speed in addition to the previously available 100GbE speed.

Ixia will also participate in the Ethernet Alliance (EA) multi-vendor interoperability demonstration of 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE speeds at OFC 2015 in the EA booth (#2531).
