		<description>Accuracy is a big driver in some cases - emulation gives you a more accurate picture of application response times, as well as scalability of your servers, load balancers, WAN accelerators, etc.

For many customers, however, the main reason they adopt the approach is to get more applications through their QA/Performance labs. Simulation tools like OPNET require specialists and weeks of modeling per application. If you&#039;re relocating a Data Center or virtualizing your servers the OPNET approach simply can&#039;t support the scale of testing required. A well designed WAN emulator integrates into your lab or Data Center easily, works with existing load tools &amp; scripts, and can emulate the relocation of a Data Center or Remote Office in a matter of minutes within your test lab.</description>
