When you’re preparing to roll out new software applications, upgrades to services or entire system refreshes, accurately gauging performance levels across your networks (however they are comprised) is an essential part of the project.Or at least it should be.
With a network emulator from Xpertex, you can protect your existing network and prevent service disruption for end-users by simulating and rehearsing change ahead of time.
The versatility of a network emulator makes it easy to configure parameters that influence traffic flows to emulate a specific virtual interface. These include bandwidth, latency, packet loss, delay, errors and packets transmitted out of sequence. This unique approach enables the accurate gauging of a wide range of symmetrical and asymmetric circuits, such as:
- High-latency Wide Area Networks (national, international and satellite)
- Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)
- Wireless networks (3G, Wi-Fi, WiMAX)
- Jittery or intermittent networks that can seriously affect VoIP deployments
- Networks that lose or damage traffic
- QoS-based networks (Multi-Protocol Label Switching — MPLS)
- Point-to-point (Asynchronous Transfer Mode — ATM)
- VLANs
- Routed networks
In a nutshell
The network emulator is available as a rack-mounted or portable appliance, for hire or purchase, with or without the services of an experienced network consultant.
- Multiple comprehensively configurable virtual interfaces
- Network and vendor independent
- Rapid and simple deployment
- Future-proof, multi-protocol deployment capability
- Low-cost implementation and use
- Built to IETF and ITU standards
