Today's networks, built on top of Ethernet, IP and MPLS services, require a network virtualization solution for software testing that combines high-performance, flexible network modeling, test automation and integrated application performance analysis. The family of Shunra NV™ Appliances continue to lead the market with high-performance, scalable Network emulation that brings the behavior of a production network into a controlled lab environment. An NV Appliance can help ensure service levels are met as applications scale and complexity increases on your production network. Whether you're rolling out mobile applications, managing a significant Data Center Consolidation project, planning the deployment of a business-critical application like SAP or SharePoint, or adopting WAN Optimization technology, including network behavior in your application performance testing is a requirement for reliable and successful testing.

Shunra offers appliances that range from several 10/100 Ethernet interfaces to support for 10Gbps service interfaces and a switching capacity up to 24Gbps. Shunra's Network Virtualization Appliances can function in an "east west" tunnel mode; a unique switching architecture supports flexible network topology emulation that provides any-port-to-any-port Layer 2 switching, and static, RIP or OSPF Routing; and Shunra's appliances provide built-in, intelligent packet capture buffers that enable deep application analysis.

All Shunra Network Virtualization Appliances support a user-friendly Web GUI for basic Network emulation testing, and several teams can share a single appliance and run independent emulations in parallel. The appliances feature easy-to-use network modeling, test automation with industry-leading load tools and application performance analysis.
