The document summarizes the BreakingPoint Storm CTM 4-Port 1GigE Blade, which provides a cost-effective way for organizations to test the performance and security of their networks. It can generate real-world application traffic and security attacks at line speeds on all four of its ports. While offering high throughput, it has a more affordable price point than other BreakingPoint blades. The blade can be expanded through additional license or interface blades to meet evolving testing needs.
