Netropy Network/WAN Emulation Brochure
In today’s interconnected world, ensuring optimal application performance over wide-area networks (WANs) is critical. Apposite Technologies’ Netropy network emulators offer a solution by providing advanced capabilities to benchmark, troubleshoot, and optimise application performance. With these tools, businesses can understand how their applications behave in real-world WAN conditions, ensuring a seamless user experience.
What sets Netropy apart is its unique, high-performance Emulation Engine, enabling high-precision emulation of up to 30 separate WAN links through each engine. This capability allows for the modelling of complex network topologies and running multiple concurrent tests. Each path can be individually configured with specific bandwidth, latency, loss, and other impairments. Thus, Netropy offers a high degree of flexibility for simulating diverse network scenarios. For instance, users can assign endpoints to paths based on IP address range, VLAN, or other packet identifiers. Netropy models are available with up to four separate Emulation Engines per unit and capacities up to 100 Gbps.
Beyond its powerful emulation capabilities, Netropy boasts an intuitive, browser-based interface for easy configuration and management. Alternatively, for those who prefer automation, a fully RESTful API enables seamless integration with testing tools. Netropy is available in various formats to suit diverse needs, including hardware appliances, virtual machines (NetropyVE), and a cloud-based version (NetropyCE) available on AWS Marketplace.
Netropy empowers businesses to proactively address potential application performance issues. In other words, they can pinpoint the root cause of problems, validate solutions, and optimise their networks without disrupting live operations. In addition, Netropy can also be used for network design, application validation, and vendor selection. For example, one can build “what-if” scenarios to help choose between private lines, internet VPNs, and wireless and satellite networks to connect offices across the globe. Overall, the ability to accurately simulate real-world WAN conditions offers invaluable insights for network design, application validation, and vendor selection. By providing a comprehensive suite of features and a user-friendly interface, Netropy simplifies the complexities of WAN emulation, enabling businesses to confidently deliver high-performing applications across any network.
