Agilent/Keysight APS-100/400GE Series

The Keysight APS-100/400GE Series is a modular Layer 4–7 application and security test platform engineered for hyperscale data center and service provider environments. It replicates real-world network conditions to validate infrastructure performance, security devices, policies, and processes across encrypted traffic workloads and high-speed 400GE interfaces.
