We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd recommend the solution to others. We don't use all of its features, but it gives us what we need. I'd rate it nine out of ten.

If you want to deploy it on OpenStack, you should start with the support question about how you should do it.

We did not had the chance to evaluate all the products available in the market, but the performance of BPS VE, it was very satisfying.

I would recommend not to use the OpenStack solution. It's hard to implement. If you have a choice, choose VMware. 

If you want high-performance, use recommended hardware with DPDK and Intel support. Use new hardware with PCI Express 3.0/3.1. Use multiple network cards for multiple blades.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Ixia BreakingPoint a nine.
