Anritsu Corporation (President Hirokazu Hamada) has expanded the lineup of its 'Virtual Network Master', a network measurement solution for cloud/virtual environments, and will begin sales of the new model 'Virtual Network Master for KVM MX109031PC'.
This product supports virtual server environments based on KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), which is widely used on Linux. Its main target is usage in private cloud environments built within enterprises and organizations. Even in virtual environments where hardware measuring instruments cannot be installed, it can accurately evaluate network communication quality on a software basis, enabling E2E (End-to-End) communication quality evaluation.
Background of Development
In recent years, business systems and social infrastructure have been moving toward the cloud and scaling up, making system configurations distributed and complex. In such environments, operations spanning multiple data centers have become common to ensure availability and stability. In addition, in fields that continuously handle massive amounts of sensitive information, including personal information, such as medical and financial institutions, there are increasing cases of operating private clouds in-house from the perspective of security and compliance. In private cloud environments, server virtualization technologies such as KVM are essential for flexible system operation, making performance assurance at the service level crucial. On the other hand, the challenge has been the inability to install hardware measuring instruments in virtual environments, making it impossible to grasp the effective quality between applications.
Anritsu has developed a software measurement solution that operates on KVM virtual environments, providing an environment that can evaluate E2E communication quality accurately and with high reproducibility under conditions close to actual operation, even in virtual environments.
Product Overview
Virtual Network Master is a software-based measurement solution that accurately evaluates the communication quality of networks, including clouds and virtual environments.
While the existing 'MX109030PC' supports the AWS*1 cloud environment, the new model 'MX109031PC' supports the KVM virtualization environment. It realizes accurate communication quality evaluation even in cloud/virtual environments where hardware measuring instruments cannot be installed.
Furthermore, by combining these, it also enables quality evaluation in hybrid environments where public clouds and private clouds coexist.

Key Features
Measurement items: Throughput, latency, jitter, packet (frame) loss rate
Operability: Supports remote operation and automation via Web browser GUI and API
Interoperability: Supports end-to-end testing between Virtual Network Masters or with MT1000A/MT1040A, enabling consistent visualization of network quality from public/private clouds to the field.
Scheduled Exhibition Appearances
Virtual Network Master will be exhibited at the following trade shows.
Wireless Japan x Wireless Technology Park 2026
