Server/Data Center Migration Testing with Network Emulators

The distance between your old location and your new location is measured in more than just kilometers

Data center relocation is complex and costly enough without adding unnecessary downtime due to unexpected application performance degradation, increases in response time, file transfer failures due to timeouts and other issues.

You may have what seem to be reasonable expectations of performance based on informed guesses, but the reality is that you can’t know how server migration will affect applications until you’ve tested it. And the best time to test is before the expense of the actual move occurs. What if you could test the effects of the data center move without moving a single server? You can!





Anue Network Emulators can “move” your servers a kilometer at a time while you conduct server migration testing, until you find a breaking point. And until you prove that it will work.

The architecture of Anue Network Emulators allows you to increment all parameters (delay, packet loss, bit errors) without interrupting live traffic. No need to stop a test to increase simulated distance and delay. And with possible delay values exceeding a second, you can simulate distances of over seven times the circumference of the earth, adequate to emulate any network configuration you may encounter.

Anue Network Emulators offer unique capabilities that are essential for data center/server migration testing:

* Multiple protocols: Anue products work with SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and 10Gbps FEC rates.
* Real-time full line-rate handling of data: up to 10Gbps, regardless of frame size.
* Enormous amount of delay: Anue Emulators support delay even at 10Gbps up to:
o 50,000 km (31,000 miles) or 250ms standard
o 200,000 km (124,000 miles) or 1sec with the Delay Quadrupler
