Shunra’s technology accurately predicts whether or not a network has the right amount of bandwidth available to support new applications or an increase in users – before those applications are deployed or those users appear.

Shunra creates an exact, lab-based replica of the production environment to determine the capacity requirements needed to support optimal transaction response times and user load. With this knowledge, the enterprise can proactively manage its network environment, project how changes in load will impact performance, and determine whether additional hardware or other resources are needed to ensure that the network continues to deliver an optimal user experience.

Shunra’s APE solutions enable network capacity planning that can:

• Determine whether more bandwidth will actually solve performance issues;
• Analyze the potential gains from alternative infrastructure investment;
• Identify network performance bottlenecks, which can be addressed and mitigated before production rollout.

Shunra’s full range of pre-production discovery, emulation, testing and analysis capabilities enables organizations to make important network capacity planning decisions that will ensure they can optimize application performance and related investments.
