Cavisson NetChannel is a network simulation solution designed to create a virtual wide area network (WAN) environment. This allows users to test the performance of applications in conditions that mimic real-life network scenarios, including bandwidth constraints and packet delay or loss. It is particularly useful for IT professionals to conduct pre-deployment testing for various applications.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Network Capacity Planning: Helps in planning network capacity by simulating real-world network conditions.
• Optimization for Remote End-User Experience: Ensures applications are optimized for optimal performance across different network conditions.
• Real-Life Network Behavior Simulation: Simulates real-world network behaviors such as bandwidth constraints, packet delay, and packet loss.
• Easy Setup: Can be set up on the same subnet as lab servers, making it convenient for testing environments.
• Customizable Network Characteristics: Allows defining tunnels and network characteristics for each tunnel, providing flexibility in testing scenarios.
• WAN Simulation Appliance: Recreates dynamic internet behavior, allowing for the simulation of various network models that change with traffic or time.

Benefits

• Improved Application Performance: Helps ensure applications perform well under various network conditions.
• Reduced Production Environment Problems: Identifies and resolves potential issues before deploying applications in production environments.
• Enhanced Testing Efficiency: Provides a controlled environment for testing, reducing the need for costly real-world testing setups.
