Today's networks, built on top of Ethernet, IP and MPLS services, require a wan emulator (or network emulator) solution that combines high-performance, flexible network modeling, test automation and integrated application analysis. Shunra's family of PerformanceSuite Network 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. A PerformanceSuite Appliance can help ensure service levels are met as applications scale and complexity increases on your production network. Whether you're managing a significant Data Center Consolidation project, planning the deployment of a business-critical application or adopting WAN Optimization technology, including network behavior in your application performance testing has become a critical success factor.

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

All Shunra PerformanceSuite Network 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 parallal. The appliances may also be controlled by Shunra's award-winning PerformanceSuite software which provides easy-to-use network modeling, test automation with industry-leading load tools and application performance analysis.
