Case Study – Network Lab Engineering Expenses Reduced By 30%

Graphiant Simulates Last-mile Challenges in the Lab to Exceed Customer Expectations.

Business keeps evolving but the key to success—high-quality service backed by world-class support—never seems to change. That’s why Graphiant, a global provider of business-class Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solutions, uses network emulation from Apposite Technologies to exceed the expectations of modern enterprise customers.

The Graphiant Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) edge solution bridges the gap between reliable MPLS performance and agile, Internet-scale SD-WAN technology. Graphiant extends connectivity across multiple geographies and enterprise destinations including office, home, edge, and cloud environments with compelling service level agreements (SLAs) for high quality and resilience.

Case Study Highlights:

• Feature qualification and delivery times reduced by 30-40%
• Internal engineering expenses reduced 20- 30%
• 20-25% lower cost for equivalent test capacity
• Tickets and escalations were reduced by 12%

After just a few hours of training, Graphiant’s Quality Assurance (QA) team started using Netropy to model changing network conditions in its lab. Testing includes introducing and measuring the impact of fast-changing conditions on network links including packet loss, delay, and jitter across multiple nodes—all without impacting the production network.

Apposite’s Netropy network emulators offer advanced capabilities to benchmark, troubleshoot, and optimise the performance of critical applications. Netropy’s unique, high-performance Emulation Engine enables high-precision emulation of up to 30 separate WAN links to model complex network topologies or run multiple concurrent tests. Each path is configured with its own bandwidth, latency, loss, and other impairments. Endpoints can be assigned to the appropriate path by IP address range, VLAN, or any other packet identifier, and application port number.

Netropy models are available with up to 4 separate Emulation Engines per unit, and capacities up to 100 Gbps. Netropy is also available in a software version, NetropyVE, that runs as a virtual machine in virtual test environments and a cloud version, NetropyCE, that is available in the AWS Marketplace.

Netropy network emulators are configured and managed through an intuitive, browser-based interface for easy operation, or through a fully RESTful API for integration with test automation tools.
