Netropy Cloud Edition Emulator

Description

Netropy Cloud Edition, Netropy CE, runs as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on AWS to performance test any application in the cloud. Easily replicate global networks in a single AWS region and introduce real-world network conditions like bandwidth limitations, latency, and packet loss using NetropyCE’s intuitive GUI or restful API. Measure the impact these network characteristics have on performance to benchmark and optimize mission-critical applications.
Netropy Cloud Edition Emulator Features:

• Scalability: Deploy a global test network with multiple instances in a single virtual private cloud (VPC).
• Multiple Link: Simulate up to 20 separate WAN links in each instance.
• Bandwidth: Precisely emulate links up to 1 Gbps and 20 Gbps in the future.
• Latency: Emulate delay and jitter of 10 seconds or more in each direction, in increments of 0.01 ms
• Automation: Automate testing with comprehensive, RESTful API.
• Packet Filtering: Assign packets to different links by IP address, VLAN, or any other packet identifier.
• Loss and corruption: Set random, burst, or periodic packet loss to test the effects of corruption on voice and video applications.
• Capture and replay: Record the delay and loss characteristics of a production network as they vary second-by-second and replay them through the Netropy emulator.
• Background noise: Test how applications perform over a congested network with the background utilization and PCAP replay features
• Traffic monitoring: View and download up to 24 hours of throughput graphs and link statistics.
• Cost-effective: Get the functionality and performance you need at a price you can afford.
