Network Planning & Readiness with Network Emulators

Be prepared for anything the network throws at you.

Network Planning and infrastructure testing and application releases are major challenges for today’s network managers. They must reduce their risk while building confidence that their new equipment and applications will perform as expected.

The key to pre-production network readiness is performance testing under various network conditions to evaluate how critical enterprise applications respond. Such applications - including e-commerce, ERP, CRM, SCM and web-based apps - are the life blood of your business and must perform even when subjected to network impairments. Validating and troubleshooting these applications under various network conditions requires the use of Anue Network Emulators.

Anue Network Emulators increase the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of your network planning and testing by quickly and accurately replicating network conditions in a lab environment.
By certifying new infrastructure as well as software applications in a realistic emulated environment, you can ensure network readiness for performance and availability. Anue Emulators introduce network errors, delays and traffic shaping, from 10Mbps to 11Gbps at 100% line rate. Anue supports standard and proprietary L1-L7 protocols.



Network readiness includes capacity planning. Capacity planning can optimize network infrastructure, reduce costs, accommodate future growth and provide insight into how resources are used. Effective capacity planning requires analyzing end-to-end performance in order to understand which applications and hosts use which resources and how the applications perform for end users, particularly in the presence of network impairments.

With Anue Network Emulators you can conduct network readiness testing under real world scenarios–accurately, repeatedly and efficiently–in order to:
* Proactively plan for increased capacity requirements as the organization grows or deployed user-base increases.
* Assess the sensitivity of your applications and services to variations in traditional QoS parameters such as bandwidth, packet loss, delay, and jitter.
* Determine how resource sharing can lead to degradation of performance due to network congestion.
* Identify the best techniques (buffering, QoS, MPLS, bandwidth shaping) to assure quality of experience for the end user.
* Find problems early, before deployment, to ensure your products and services are ready for production.
