Are you confident that your company’s products will work as advertised when they’re actually deployed on your customers’ networks? Are you concerned that live demonstrations at customer sites might be adversely affected by unanticipated conditions on their networks? Can you provide your customers with network requirements for your products that are based on more than just educated guesses?
Whether you’re selling software or IT infrastructure, you and your customers need to know exactly how your products will function in real-world enterprise environments. And, since every enterprise network has its own limitations and idiosyncrasies, it’s essential to thoroughly profile your products’ behaviors in a multitude of possible network environments. That’s the only way to avoid pre- and post-sale surprises.
It simply doesn’t make sense to wait until beta testing to discover that your product doesn’t handle real-world network conditions such as congestion, latency or jitter very well. The costs to fix such problems at that late stage are too high – and are often not even possible. Besides, beta sites can never provide a true cross-section of all the networks you’re likely to encounter in the marketplace. That’s why beta testing is not sufficient for ensuring the quality and adaptability of your products.
Network simulation is therefore a critical element of product development. Only
with network simulation can you be sure your products can handle the diverse conditions they’ll encounter in the real world. And the earlier you apply network simulation into your development lifecycle, the more cost-effectively you’ll be able to find and fix network-related performance and reliability issues.
Prepare your Products for the Real World
Only Shunra VE provides you with all the network simulation capabilities you need to ensure the robustness, scalability, efficiency and performance of your products in all types of network environments. Shunra VE makes it easy to experiment with networks of all shapes and sizes, from high-performance optical
WANs to best-effort VPNs. Its advanced reporting tools provide you with full visibility into the specific issues impacting end-to-end service levels to the desktop. By using Shunra VE’s network simulation you can see exactly how well your product performs under all types of real-world conditions – without leaving the development department.
And unlike other simulation technologies, you can also use Shunra VE to visibly demonstrate your products’ suitability for a customer’s specific production environment — increasing their comfort level in pre-sales situations.
Simply put, Shunra VE’s network simulation enables you to more effectively discover and fix product design problems, avoid costly re-coding, reduce solution deployment times, and win more sales.
The Shunra VE network simulation platform gives you substantial technical and business benefits:
- Deliver higher-quality, network-friendly products
- Eliminate development “fix” costs and time-to-market delays that occur when networking-related problems aren’t discovered until beta testing
- Accelerate sales cycles with “virtual pilots” that validate product performance
- Eliminate deployment problems that erode customer satisfaction and drive up support costs
- Predict, demonstrate and document projected performance before live implementation
- Get faster, more effective troubleshooting
- Ensure more effective collaboration with customer-side IT staff
Support for a Full Range of Customer Environments
Shunra VE’s advanced network simulation capabilities enable you to model all
popular network technologies – including IP VPNs, frame relay, MPLS, IPv6 and more. It allows you to work with all types of network variables: geographic distance, distribution and behavior of end-users, the presence of other applications on the network, and contingency/outage scenarios. With full support for test automation, Shunra VE also fits seamlessly into your company’s current automated test and regression environment. Shunra VE is thus the ideal network simulation platform for any technology company seeking to deliver product excellence in a networked world.
