Network Capacity Planning
Shunra’s Virtual Enterprise (VE) Suite, including the STA network appliance, enables organizations to make important network capacity planning decisions that will truly optimize performance. Today, network managers have to choose between QoS, WAN acceleration, caching, compression, WAFS, and MPLS solutions from many different vendors making many different claims.
Shunra’s VE Suite addresses these pressing management issues with virtual network technology that delivers a full range of pre-production testing and emulation capabilities.
Shunra’s VE Suite enables you to:
- Utilize high-performance network modeling and WAN emulation capabilities, so network teams won’t spend all their time fixing problems that could have been prevented
- Rest assure that any new infrastructure change will pay off in better performance using Shunra’s full range of pre-production testing and emulating capabilities
- Determine whether or not more bandwidth will actually solve your performance issues
- Identify network performance bottlenecks, so you can address them before your production roll-out
- Analyze the potential gains from alternative infrastructure investment
Without adequate network modeling and WAN emulator capabilities, network teams will never be able to strategically and pro-actively manage their environments. Don’t spend your time fighting fires and fixing problems that could have been prevented with a little due diligence!
Armed with Shunra’s WAN emulation technology, network managers can gain a wide range of critical benefits such as:
Confident infrastructure investment decisions.
With a virtual network, you can easily analyze the potential gains from alternative infrastructure investments. You can also make your own highly insightful comparison between different vendors’ solutions. For example, by simply connecting a WAN acceleration device to Shunra’s VE Suite, you can see first-hand exactly how it will impact performance at your remote offices.
Confident change control.
With Shunra's VE Suite, you can fully validate the production-readiness of any new or updated services and applications. Whether you're upgrading a CRM application or rolling out LDAP, your virtual testing environment will enable you to predict exactly what kind of performance you can expect across all your remote sites and data centers. If you spot a performance bottleneck, you can address it before your production roll-out – instead of after things have already hit the fan.
Confident deployment of VoIP and rich media.
With Shunra’s VE Suite, you can be 100% confident that your network is VoIP-ready and/or pinpoint exactly where you need to shore up your infrastructure. In fact, you can accurately model your network and attach phones to your virtual model so that you can hear for yourself exactly how calls will sound once you roll out VoIP into production.
Confident application-centric capacity planning.
Want to know if more bandwidth will solve your application performance problem? With Shunra’s VE Suite, you can test your hypothesis by simply turning up the "bandwidth knob" inside your virtual network. That way, you can avoid spending money on capacity that you don't really need.
