XM3 – Experience the Difference!

XenaManager 3 (XM3) is a new version of XenaManager loaded with UI improvements to make testing high-speed Ethernet even easier.

Initially, XM3 only supports testing with our Z800 Freya traffic generators but will later be extended to include all the other Ethernet test options now provided by XenaManager.

Included with Xena Release 100 and later, you can try XM3 now on our Live Demo System.

Z800 Freya used to test 51.2Tbps switch

Marvell’s newly released Teralynx 10 switches – which are the world’s highest performance switch chips – were tested using Xena Z800 Freya traffic generators.

Aimed at global AI Cloud deployments, Teralynx 10 switches integrate Marvell’s proven, robust 112G LR SerDes, supporting up to 64 ports of 800GbE or 128 ports of 400GbE.

What we do best

Validation Testing

Want to verify that the functionality and performance of a new Ethernet product matches its specifications?

The Xena test platform is a highly versatile solution that can quickly and reliably deliver accurate results without breaking your budget.

QA Testing

Need to verify how an Ethernet product performs under a range of challenging environmental and operating conditions?

Xena is a robust platform with a range of standard test applications and automation options to streamline QA testing prior to production.

Production Testing

Want to test your Ethernet products as they leave the factory to catch problems before they reach your customers?

Xena is used by manufacturers globally for e.g. router testing, two-way interactive tests, aggregation and loopback testing.

Protocol Analysis

Ethernet continues to expand into new markets and incorporate new protocols. The increasing adoption of lossless Ethernet standards like FCoE, RoCE, and NVMf, along with the rise in Ethernet line-rates to 800Gbps – and soon 1.6Tbps – presents significant test and validation challenges.
