It is a scalable solution.

We have four or five technical people using the solution.

I rate the scalability of Ixia BreakingPoint seven out of ten.

Ixia BreakingPoint is a lab product. There is no point to increase usage or going to scale with such product.

Ixia BreakingPoint is scalable; I haven't had any problems. We have less than ten customers using the testing solution. The visibility solution has a lot more users, maybe 2000 users.

You can scale up to 100G, and a 100G is realistic traffic. Therefore, there have been no issues.

Being a virtual tool, it inherits the benefits of virtualization. Scale out in terms of traffic generation blades is much easier compared to its physical version. The only limiting factor, in terms of scalability, is that you have the number of licenses required to run the tests.

For the scalability, there is a hardware product. We have a server that is not working well right now. Ixia BreakingPoint is scalable only to some point. There is a virtual version of the product which is scaled to 100s of virtual testing blades.

The performance of the product depends on how many blades you deploy. You can get very good performance for it with multiple users at the same time. 

BreakingPoint is used by our network and security engineers for our customers. It's not a full-time job. If you need the test, you can be done in half an hour.
